Why Not-For-Profits are the best clients to have
Being in business; especially the sign business, we have learned over the years how important it is to give back to the community. We are often the first ones asked for donations since our products are a very important component of a Not-For-Profit (NFP) fund raising. Over the last 22 years we have cultivated and nurtured our business relationship with NFP’s.
Our Approach:
Not-For-Profit Pricing:
While we cannot give away our products all the time we can do our part in many ways. First and foremost we always offer NFP pricing which is less than our standard retail pricing, and comparable to our wholesale/resale pricing. Our NFP clients depend on this action for both discounted prices and budgeting from year to year. They know they can come to us and always receive this discount on their signage needs.

Donations:
Each year we set up a goal for our giving. This goal is based on generated sales for the prior year and used to determine how much we can donate and to whom. We of course have some very good NFP clients who are loyal to us and will always receive our product donations. We also have new NFP who want our help as well. This is where the list comes into play. Basically we add names in the order they come in and donate our product until the pre-determined product funds are used up. Amounts given to each Not-For-Profit are based on need.
Referrals:
We value our Not-For-Profits and they value us. By taking the time to acknowledge their needs and good causes we in turn earn their business and most importantly referrals! It is the basic rule of thumb-good people help good people. While we don’t do it solely for the return business; the return business is how we are able to give more and more each year. Giving back to our community and the people who live and work in it.
Being Leaders:
Signarama, Libertyville is proud to be involved in many community not-for-profit activities and events. In 2018 we set up a food drive for the Lake County Food Pantry – including Signarama’s initial donation, we helped accumulate and donate over $4000.00 in food and necessities. Signarama owner, Jay Cash, is the co-founder of Founders 55, a group of business leaders that gives back to the community in many ways. Currently, Founders 55 is working on three initiatives: Bringing a life-size replica of the Charters of Freedom (The Constitution, The Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence) to Lake County. They work with Veteran owned businesses to support and achieve growth to the next level; and they are sponsors of the Global Leadership Summit which helps leaders get better and therefore able to give more.
