Planning ahead for Christmas!

When it comes to getting decorations for a city or town the key word is preparation. If you wait until September to order Pole decorations, Large Displays, Banners, or Holiday Signs you're going to be too late! Cities have started to get in touch with us on getting pole decorations. Since most cities and business still have some of their decorations still up it'll help you get an idea of what needs to be updated or replaced.

In our small town after the snowflakes we provided our main streets have already had bulbs burn out or get damaged so you can easily get an idea of how man bulbs your going to need for the next season. Many old pole decorations can easily be spruced up with new lights or switching to LED replacement bulbs. Making the switch to LED may be expensive but considering the long life of LEDs and the low power consumption it is a great option. A standard C7 Christmas bulb uses 5 watts where most LED C7 bulbs use .96 watts! So if a display has 150 bulbs with Incandescent lights will use 750 watts of power and LED will use 144 watts, which is a staggering about of electricity saved! Below is a difference between a Incandescent and a LED bulbs.

If you have an idea about replacing your downtowns Pole Decorations or adding new displays to your existing collection you can shoot us an email or give us a call. We have access to the largest Display manufacturers in the United States, so if you can dream it we can build it. We can help you design custom pieces, Welcome signs are a great type of displays to put at the entrance to your city or business, You can have a Welcome message and add a couple displays on the sides to tie it in. In Sparta, TN we made a Welcome to Sparta sign with an Acoustic guitar and Musical Notes because Lester Flatt (A bluegrass guitarist and songwriter) was born here. So you can see how something simple as a few displays could really speak volumes about your town or business.

Have any questions? Give us a call or email us!
