Why would multiple organizations in an Oregon suburb purchase their signs from a manufacturer 2,329 miles away?
When Superintendent Wayne Kostur of the Molalla River School District decided to purchase a new outdoor electronic sign in 2008 he entertained bids from a variety of vendors both local and national. Ultimately he entrusted this project to the care and expertise of Golden Rule Sign Company in Louisville Kentucky, some 2,300+ staggering miles away. His reasons for doing so were simple – he wanted to partner with a reputable company who had extensive experience manufacturing such a technical product and who offered a quality yet affordable product. Buying ‘local’ is a noble idea but not practical when it comes to L.E.D. technology. Golden Rule CEO Logan Baker says “When investing tens of thousands of dollars you need expertise and assurance that the project will get done as planned. Local sign shops are great but they do not manufacture the L.E.D. message boards and are often somewhat unfamiliar with them. Think of it this way; if you were going to buy a new laptop you wouldn’t go down the street to Bud’s Computer Shop – you would probably call Dell, Apple or IBM. We have partnered with local contractors to install our products and provide any after sale support at our direction.” Mr. Kostur found this to be true. The purchase of 1 sign turned in to 2 then 3, 4 and now the town’s local fire department has purchased a sign as well as two neighboring school districts. The value and ripple effect of giving clients a quality product for a reasonable price coupled with friendly customer support has provided to be paramount.
Golden Rule Sign Company is a nationally operating firm who specializes in outdoor L.E.D. signs. From small one line message boards to full color video displays for sporting arena’s Golden Rule Sign Company can do it and has done it. If you don’t already have a design, the staff at GRS can create several options for you. You design is then manufactured, shipped and installed. The entire project can be handled by Golden Rule Sign Company.
