By Patty Goff


There are probably a million of ways now how business establishments attract their customers but there is one that never goes out of style. Those are the flashy and colorful neon signs all over any marketing promotions. These famous signage is indeed a very effective way to captivate people.

Neon signs are basically electric tubes containing a number of gases just like mercury. It is shaped into different composition to bring in attention and to make a store more visible during the night. They became strikingly favored on the roaring twenties all over the United States, particularly in Las Vegas and Texas. The neon signs in Midland Tx can be seen in coffee shops, in a complicated exteriors of a bar and even in fast cars.

Many companies in Texas supply a wide range of service that ensures excellent neon signs. But not so many people possess the knowledge of making their own. Making your own will never leave your pockets empty. This is because letting others make it for you is really quite expensive. Looking for someone who will make it for you might be difficult too. Just by using your imagination and pairing it with the suitable resources, you can have the signage of your dream.

Establish the design of your signage and be definitive about it. Go ahead and sketch it on a plain paper. Give life to the artist within you and make it special.

Lay the groundwork the moment you cinched your design. Look for a suitable choice of wires because it is the main key in making the sign. A fragment of wood is also needed. You can choose any length and width you want it to be. Directly adhere your design unto the wood or post it on a wall if you wish to.

Mark your design in the wood using any marker that will not leave a visible mark. The use of a pencil is a smart choice. If all of the details about your wires are unchangeable, outline it into the designs.

Shape those wires directly after the design you made. Set out into connecting it in the wood if everything fits in perfectly. With the help of any sticking material such as a hot glue gun, glue it gradually in the wood. The glue could dry up very quickly but laying all the wires down may take a while based on the size of the wood.

Do everything one step at a time until you are done sticking all of the wires unto the wood. Allow your work to dry fully before you start placing it wherever you want. Plug in the wires after you hang your very own handmade signage.

Neon signs these days might be replaced by other means of signage, but the advancement done to it these days will keep it running. It may be funny how not so many people know a lot about those information. Discovering about the new ways of using and making them will leave you satisfied with its use in especially when it comes to your business.
