Pheasant Run Plaza in Farmington Hills, MI resides on a high traffic street making it an ideal candidate for an LED sign. The plaza has a great balance and is home to several big chain restaurants and other local business and restaurants and made a perfect fit for installing an 16mm Fusion LED display.

Electro-Matic Visual and Image 360 of Brighton made this project become possible. Image 360 approached Electro-Matic Visual for the Pheasant Run Plaza and choose their new Fusion LED sign because of quality, warranty and service. "We decided to use an Electro-Matic Visual LED display because we know that we are getting great service, quality and warranty, that's what keeps us coming back." - Joe Nagel, Image 360 of Brighton

Before the new LED sign was installed, Pheasant Run Plaza had a static sign that could only advertise the name of the plaza. Now with their new Fusion LED Sign from Electro-Matic Visual they can inform the passing traffic about what businesses are actually in the plaza. Not only can they inform what businesses reside there, but they can also promote any weekly specials, deals, or promotions for any given business.

The tenants are also loving the new Fusion LED sign. It gives them an opportunity to advertise their newest products and promote their services at their convenience.

 

“The tenants are really using the sign effectively with good content and because of it they are seeing an increase in customers.” – Joe Nagel, Image 360 of Brighton

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.

Troy Dental Studio located in Troy, MI has just moved five minuets down the road to a new state-of-the-art facility. The newly constructed building is giving Dr. Batra double the amount of space for her business. When moving into the new building Dr. Batra and Troy Dental Studio agreed that implementing an LED sign and LED lighting would give them the opportunity to build community rapport, reduce operating costs, and generate more business. Electro-Matic Visual and Image 360 teamed up to install Troy Dental Studio with an 11mm LED display and LED parking lot lighting fixtures.

LED parking lot lighting is becoming more popular by the day. Troy Dental Studio felt the benefits of LED lighting matched their goals of having a welcoming, calming and safe environment that their customers can enjoy. Electro-Matic Visual supplied Troy Dental Studio with LED parking lot lights to improve the visibility and safety for their customers, establishing the environment that they were striving for.

“Our new LED parking lot lighting from Electro-Matic Visual has given our parking lot an incredible amount of light. It compliments the clean, safe, and welcoming atmosphere that we strive for.” Dr. Shikha Batra, Troy Dental Studio

Westland, MI is home to Wayne County’s Lightfest where it is home to the largest holiday light show in the Midwest. Visitors pay a small fee or donate a toy, on certain nights, to gain access to the light show. Visitors then enjoy over 100,000 lights and nearly 50 animated themed displays as they stroll through the property in the comfort of their own vehicles. With lines that get lengthy for such an attraction, the Wayne County Lightfest has implemented a 16mm LED display from Electro-Matic Visual to keep things running smooth.

With a high interest, the Lightfest often has a respectable line. While customers momentarily wait in line, the LED sign gives the customers information on the $5 fee, cash only, hours of operation and more. The information that the LED display communicates allows the line to move faster and more efficient, making the experience for everyone much more enjoyable.

The LED Sign from Electro-Matic Visual is actually the same design as our trailer demo, but with a custom wrap. This enables the Lightfest to have flexibility where they want to put their sign during peak hours or when trying to inform the community of the open date. 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.

Taco Bell of Mount Pleasant, MI upgraded their signage with an 11mm Fusion LED Sign from Electro-Matic Visual. Taco Bell is constantly changing their menu, promoting value deals and adding new products. Having an LED sign promoting 24/7 and creating exposure to passing traffic increases their success with any of their product or menu offerings.

Taco Bell’s new 11mm Fusion LED is extra appealing with how they integrated it with the back lit Taco Bell static sign. Typically, we see LED signs that are stacked below or above a back lit cabinet and here we see this great looking LED sign stacked next to the Taco Bell sign cabinet, creating a very simple and clean looking sign.

The Fusion LED Display from Electro-Matic Visual gives Taco Bell the opportunity to display eye grabbing, full color content to promote the $1 Morning Value Menu, $5 Crispy Chicken Quesadilla Box, online ordering options and much more, giving them a competitive advantage over dull static signs. 

 

Creative, full color, content helps this Taco Bell stand out from sorrounding competition. Attractive, short, but to the point messages allow passing traffic to be more attracted to the LED display and better chance they stop in.
