Watchfire® Case Study: Watch What Happens.
K - 12 SCHOOLS :: Petersburg High School - Petersburg,
Va.
Background
After struggling with an LED message board that kept
breaking down, Petersburg High School principal Alicia Fields
decided it was time to install a more dependable sign. With a
little advice from the campus facilities manager, Fields sought the
help of Moore Sign Corporation, who introduced her to the idea of
installing a Watchfire LED sign.
Results
As soon as she saw the Watchfire demonstration truck, Ms. Fields
knew she had found the electronic message center that her school
needed. Shortly thereafter, Petersburg High School introduced its
new sign to the community.
"Not only has the experience been
great, but the new sign has brought more people to our school's
events."

Case Study
"The high school was ready for a new sign," said J.W. Hill of
Moore Sign Corporation. After years of driving out almost weekly to
fix the faulty LED sign, Hill knew better than anyone that the
high school needed to upgrade to a quality product that would
provide years of reliable service.
When the old sign finally gave out Ms. Fields sought Hill's help
in getting something better for the school, "they were really
hoping to get reliability, and functionality, a sign that would
actually work for them," said Hill. That's when Hill
suggested a Watchfire product.
"I suggested a Watchfire sign for the high school for the same
reason I always suggest a Watchfire sign to a customer. They're well engineered
and the company gives you great customer service," said Hill.
"There are very few manufacturers out there who give you the kind
of customer service that Watchfire gives its customers."
Ms. Fields agrees, noting that her local representative, Ben
Barr, came with Hill many times to simply explain how the new sign
worked and what it could do. "They would frequently take time out
of their schedules to show us how to work everything, which is what
you want as a customer," said Fields.
With their new sign, the high school is able to display
information about school events and activities - something
that could not be done with the old sign. "We wanted to be able to
communicate with our community and with the parents," said
Fields, "we need to let people know just what sorts of events we're
having at our school, and the sign has really done that for
us."
The new sign has drawn the attention of many community members who
have come to Fields to comment on how much they enjoy the graphics
and versatility of the sign. "Students have also stopped me just to
say how neat the sign is. The fact is it's colorful and it catches
your attention; it's what we wanted to advertise our school."
Fields says that her entire experience with Watchfire and Moore
Sign Corporation has been excellent, and notes the comfort
she now feels in having a reliable and guaranteed product.
