Watchfire (Danville, IL) has announced that Klusty Sign Associates (Cincinnati) is the Grand Prize winner of the 2024 Watchfire LED Sign Awards for their outstanding design and installation at Garver Family Farm Market in Middletown, OH. This award highlights Klusty Sign Associates’ innovative approach to enhancing visibility and communication within the community through digital signage, according to a press release.
The Watchfire LED Sign Awards celebrate the achievements of Watchfire dealer partners who excel in creating sign solutions that incorporate digital message centers. The awards recognize on-premise signs installed between Sept. 1, 2023 and Aug. 31, 2024, showcasing excellence in design, legibility and advertising effectiveness. The 2024 Watchfire LED Sign Awards featured one Grand Prize winner and 12 Gold winners.
The Grand Prize award-winning sign at Garver Family Farm Market features an impressive 8mm digital display measuring 6 ft. 5 in. x 12 ft. 3in. The Garver family was constructing a new building for their Market Store and envisioned a sign that would complement the store’s architecture and act as a welcoming beacon. Located adjacent to a busy highway, the family needed a large, eye-catching display to maximize visibility, letting new customers know their location while promoting their brand, events and products.
The sign includes a header cabinet made from .090 aluminum illuminated from within with graphics printed on durable 3M substrate. Additionally, the Watchfire wireless plan and 4G modem enables the Garver team to manage display content easily and in real time from any location using Watchfire’s Ignite OPx cloud-based software.
“Klusty Sign Associates is a standout member of our extensive dealer partner network, which I believe is the best in the industry,” David Warns, Watchfire’s vice president of on-premise sales, is quoted in the press release. “Their collaboration with the Garver Family has resulted in a remarkable digital display that not only boosts the market’s visibility but also beautifully highlights its fresh offerings. This project is a perfect example of how innovative technology and skilled craftsmanship can come together to create a functional, eye-catching landmark that elevates both the business and customer experience.”
