Branding your business is so much more than a snazzy logo and a catchy slogan. Your brand is practically the image of your business and how customers view you. Brands are similar to personalities. They can be bold, likable, serious, boring, clever, etc. Ultimately, brands can repel people or attract them.

Customer

Wayne County Parks is a division of Wayne County Public Services that is committed to enhancing the quality of life for families and citizens of the 43 communities of Wayne County. It hosts numerous events throughout the year.

Background

One event in particular includes the Lightfest, which takes place at Hines Park. The Lightfest is the Midwest's longest drive-through holiday light display, stretching approximately 4.5 miles, featuring more than 47 giant animated displays, and more than one million lights!

 

Objective

Outside of their website, print, and banners, Wayne County Parks had no way to display news or any other important park information. They wanted a better way to communicate the dates and times of not only their annual Lightfest event, but all of their events year-round.

Solution

The LED Sign chosen from Electro-Matic Visual was actually the same design as one of our trailer demos, but with an additional custom wrap. This allows Wayne County Lightfest the flexibility to put their sign where they want during peak hours, or move its location for different events. For further assistance throughout the year, Electro-Matic provided a permanent 16mm LED sign on the Hines Park premises as well. 

Benefits

The information on the upgraded LED display helped the line to move faster and more efficiently—making the experience for everyone much more enjoyable. Considering this is a seasonal operation for Wayne County Parks, they are able to transfer the sign to other events in the spring, summer, and early fall.

Joymar Inc. is the parent company to three different car washes in West Michigan. Featured in this success story is Jenison Car Wash, located in Jenison, MI and just south west of Grand Rapids. Jenison Car Wash and general manager Greg Russo, chose Electro-Matic Visual to add a Fusion LED display to consistently attract more customers and to stay competitive.

Jenison Car Wash believed that static signs and traditional reader boards, like they had before, was just too much of a nuisance and were not effective. Having an employee change a static sign daily, or weekly, is time consuming. Jenison was seeing that they were spending too much time manually changing their reader board for a message that was getting overlooked.

From a competitive standpoint, Jenison Car Wash felt that adding an Electro-Matic Visual Fusion LED display would separate them from potential competition. An LED sign gives businesses the opportunity to have an attractive, modern look while connecting with passing traffic.

Jenison Car Wash has been enjoying their new full color, 16mm, 4’x8’, LED display and they have been seeing great results. Their three-month subscriptions and monthly memberships have seen a significant boost. They also advertised that they were hiring on their LED sign and got convincingly more applications when they tried the same thing with their old static reader board. Jenison Car Wash chose Electro-Matic Visual over the competition for several important reasons, including:

• Customer service
• Image quality
• Five year parts and labor warranty

Because of what Electro-Matic Visual’s provides and after the success that Jenison Car Wash has had with their LED display they are expecting to add one to their Cascade location.
