Hiring a digital sign means no big upfront cost, you pay only for the time you need it, and you can pick the right sign for each job, such as a solar trailer sign for a roadside site or a portable sign for a shopfront. We deliver hire signs anywhere in Australia, often on the same day in Perth.
A digital sign gets attention in a way a printed sign can’t. Buying one is a big step, though, above all for a small business, a sports club or a one-off event. Hiring is often the better answer. Here are seven reasons clubs and businesses hire a sign, and what to expect when you do.
1. No big upfront cost
Buying a sign means paying for it before it has earned anything. Hiring spreads the cost over the time you actually use the sign, which is easier on cash flow and fits into an event or marketing budget.
2. Pay only for the time you need
Most events and campaigns only need a sign for a set time. You can hire one of our signs for anything from half a day to months or years, so you are never paying for a sign that sits idle.
3. The right sign for each job
What you need may change from one event to the next. Hiring lets you pick the sign that suits:
- Solar trailer signs, which run on solar power, so they can stand on a verge, in a car park or beside the road with no power nearby
- Double-sided signs, so traffic in both directions sees your message. We are the only hire company in Perth with double-sided LED signs.
- Full colour trailer signs for photos, logos and video
- Portable signs you can move by hand, for shopfronts, foyers, school gates and event entries
- Safety and roadworks signs for speed, detour and warning messages
4. Busy seasons and one-off events
Some businesses only need a sign at certain times of year: the lead-up to Christmas, the start of the school year, a busy summer. Hiring means you have a sign when it counts, without storing one for the rest of the year.
5. Try before you buy
If you are thinking about buying a sign, hiring one first is the easiest way to see what it does for your business. Stafford Motors started with a hire sign from us, and it worked so well that they bought a customised sign of their own.
6. Delivered, set up and ready to go
We deliver hire signs anywhere in Australia, often on the same day in Perth, set them up on site and show you how to change the message from your phone. When the hire ends, we pick the sign up again.
7. Help with approvals
Some sites need council approval or permission from the road manager. Tell us where the sign is going when you book, and we will check what applies and help with the application. Our guide to council approval for LED signs explains the basics.
Can you hire a scoreboard too?
We also hire out portable scoreboards in Perth and WA for carnivals and tournaments. Read LED scoreboard: should you buy or hire? to see which suits your club.
