subject: Consider An Electronic Message Board For Your Church [print this page] An electronic message board is a great asset for any business that purchases one. Although most would not consider a church a business, such a sign would be a great asset for them as well. It is an easy way to get the weekly schedule out in front of people who are interested in coming or who already come. These signs are often also used to give a spiritual reminder or message to those driving past.
If you are the pastor of a church, you likely are tax exempt, so you will already get somewhat of a discount on your electronic message board. The cost will be a concern, however, for you and your congregation. Before presenting it to your congregation, you will want to have done some research into a few styles and companies, with various costs for everything involved.
As you look at a few different companies, you should compare the costs and the reputation, and you should even go to various locations that have the signs from the companies so that you can see them on location. You might not think that each company varies all that much in their products, but they might vary in their customer service, which directly affects the product.
If a company has poor customer service, they might not listen and you might end up with your sign being placed in the wrong location, or you might end up with the wrong style. Customer service is so important, and in this case, your whole congregation depends on a business listening to their customer.
In order to find out about the customer service side of an electronic message board sign company, you might want to go on the internet and search for reviews, or if you have other churches in your area that use this type of sign, you might ask them what company they used and whether they would suggest you going there.
It may sound like a lot of details, but following through on those details is definitely worth it in the long run. If you do it right, you should end up with a sign that pretty much everyone agrees on and at a low price. Before making your final choice as to which company and sign to use, make sure the one you want offers a plan for repairing the sign if anything happens. A warranty should be included as well.
