A customer may feel they can’t afford a custom 3-D sign, but that doesn’t mean they won’t stretch their budget for a custom flat sign. Braun Bleamer often encounters clients who come looking for a 3-D sign then decide it is beyond their budget. He converts these sales to upscale flat signs that deliver a lot of impact for his customers. You’ll see seven easy ways to do this in the work of  ten top sign designers in “7 ways to ramp up your flat sign designs.

“Instead of allowing a customer to possibly walk out the door disappointed and with nothing,” Braun says, “I show them how they can walk away happy, within their budget, and with the same design with plenty of impact.”
