The Hidden Risks of Buying from a Sign Broker

The Hidden Risks of Buying from a Sign Broker

Thinking about getting an outdoor LED sign? It’s a smart move for boosting visibility and growing your organization but who you buy from matters. While sign brokers may seem convenient, there are some risks you should know about.

No Direct Line of Communication

Brokers are the middlemen, which can lead to miscommunication and delays. Working directly with a sign manufacturer means your needs get heard, clearly and correctly.

Higher Costs

Brokers often tack on extra fees for their services. Going straight to the source can save you money and give you more value for your investment.

Confusing Accountability

If something goes wrong, it’s hard to know who’s responsible, the broker or the manufacturer? Dealing directly with the manufacturer means you know exactly who to call.

Quality Isn’t Guaranteed

Not all brokers work with top-tier manufacturers. Without knowing where your sign is coming from, quality can vary and that could mean problems later.

Limited Custom Options

Brokers tend to keep things simple, which can limit your sign’s design. A direct relationship with a manufacturer allows you to create a sign that’s a perfect fit for your organization.

Technical Support Issues

Brokers may not offer reliable tech support, leaving you stuck when problems arise. Working with a manufacturer means faster help from experts who know your signage inside and out.

Buying direct means more control, better quality, and dependable support. At Stewart Signs, we make the process simple.
