It all started with a phone call on Tuesday afternoon asking if we could make custom printed pizza boxes.  A.C. LaRocco was making a presentation later in the week and needed attractive demo boxes to show off their product.  We've never done it before, but after considering the dimensions and folds involved, there didn't seem to be anything stopping us from making custom pizza boxes.

Truckers, haulers, commercial and fleet transportation are required by law to have certain information visible on the outside of their trucks.  They must display any or all of the following: the name and city of the company, VIN number, ICC number, DOT number, and GVW, all in specified letter sizes.  Commercial truckers come in to our showroom weekly asking what we've got that can make them stand out from other trucking fleets.  Here are three great ways to stand out:

Cathleen L. Balfour feels she is fulfilling her purpose as she guides and mentors others to reconnect with themselves and the beauty of the world around them.  Trips to Hawaii, Mexico, and Sedona, Arizona have not only inspired her clients, but also her own artistic side.  Sacred Prints is a collection of photographs Cathleen has taken during her travels over the past few years.  Blown up and printed on canvas, these are each a beautiful piece of fine art.

Non-profit organizations work hard to earn funds that will help achieve its goals. We work with several non-profits including United Way, Make a Wish, 2nd Harvest, YMCA, the Spokane Symphony, and Isaac Foundation.  Three signs that help these organizations and other non-profits we work with are corrugated plastic signs, special event banners, and promotional items.

Taxi drivers are increasing throughout the nation, probably due to the revitalization of many metropolitan areas as well as increases in business and leisure travel.  Signs for Success supplies taxi cab lettering and decals for taxi services in Spokane.  We also help taxi services meet regulations concerning the look of their vehicles. 

Stop signs, street signs, and parking signs are among the most common sign uses for Aluminum.  These are made with .080 Aluminum with or without reflective vinyl.  Signs for Success not only supplies general aluminum signs like No Parking, Handicap Parking, Restricted, or No Trespassing, but we can also customize signs.  The beauty of custom signs is that you can create exactly what you need.  Add your own images and customize text.  Change the layout.  Add your logo.  You can also customize sign size and material as well.

One of the many uses of corrugated plastic is giant thermometers.  In the last month or so we've gotten several orders for goal thermometers large and small.  We created one for the First Annual Judy Burton "Swing for the Cure," a charity golf tournament in honor of a local mother who died from cancer.  The golf tournament was held on August 30, and they met their goal and then some.  All proceeds went to the Women's Cancer Research Foundation to benefit the opening of new clinical trials.

Hillyard was established as a booming railroad town in 1892.  What is now North Market Street actually used to be the main wagon trail traveling north.  Now nearing it's 120th year, Historic Hillyard is part of an ongoing neighborhood renewal project, and Signs for Success has been proud to be a part of this community project.
