City/County Venues

Keep The Community Informed

An EMC can help city and county venues increase community involvement by…

1. Promoting upcoming events like festivals or concerts
2. Letting citizens know about season passes offered at places like pools and zoos
3. Providing details about upcoming events such as ticket costs and how to buy them
4. Congratulating residents on life events such as weddings and births
5. Advertising event space for rent and the cost

6. Welcoming speakers, groups, or visiting sports teams
7. Broadcasting local and national public service announcements
8. Alerting residents about changes in regulations
9. Promoting community outreach
10. Encouraging residents to visit city/county websites and social media pages

EMCs are Cost-Effective Signage

An EMC is an effective way for city and county venues like town halls to keep the community up to date about what is going on around town. Whether you are advertising an upcoming festival or a new restaurant opening, an EMC can get your message across in an attention grabbing way. Impress visitors to a conference by welcoming them with your EMC and earn the gratitude of residents by letting them know about planning construction or utility maintenance.

Using an EMC can also help communities spread the news about upcoming changes. If utility rates are going up or the trash pickup schedule is changing, residents need to know and an EMC is the perfect way to tell them. You can also increase visits to your city/county websites and social media pages by using your EMC to let everyone know the web addresses. An EMC can be one of the most effective tools to keep a community informed.

"The sign looks great! On the front page of the Messenger-Inquirer (Owensboro Paper) the sign is talked about! Thanks to all for making a piece of art that will become a ‘landmark’ to downtown Owensboro."

"I wanted to express my 100% complete satisfaction in the work that Husk Signs did for my company. In early February we moved our office to a separate suite and we needed new signs made for our parking lot and new entrance. I contacted Kathy Long whom I had met through the Chamber of Commerce and Kathy was very prompt on getting the job done. As a matter of fact she was having trouble reaching me to let me know the signs were complete, so she drove to the office to track me down. Anyone looking to get new signs should call Kathy Long from Husk Signs. I guess it would be important to mention that the new signs look spectacular. If you are still using old wood painted signs, I would highly recommend looking at what Kathy can do for you."

"I can’t believe how much better these modules are than the ones we’ve been using. We’ve tried every manufacturer out there and the colors were atrocious. HCI LED modules are ridiculously consistent, plus I use them with the cheapest Lexan and they create a spot-on white background for my colors. I couldn’t be happier!"

I fully endorse Husk Signs. They have been tremendously helpful with many signs in the Owensboro area and have always been on top of any questions or problems. I asked them to join the Chamber several years ago after inquiring about my electronic sign that I purchased and did not receive back any response from the local vendors, Husk was the only response I received back. Husk was Johnny-on-the-spot and have been there anytime I have needed them. Their techs live in Owensboro and Kip gives back to this community in many ways. This is most recently apparent by opening an office here in Owensboro. He could service our area out of Evansville and probably more cost effective but has decided to fully commit to our city by having brick and mortar here.

"Fetter Properties Management Inc. has long been aware of the needs for a business to keep up with the changing trends or get left behind. For that reason, we made a conscious decision to move more into electronic advertisements for our clients. We had upgraded and expanded our webs page but we needed more. Kip Husk approached us with a unique opportunity to purchase a new larger sign with an electronic message board. With our office located right along the Lloyd Expressway, at 18 S. Congress Avenue, Kip offered the perfect solution. He even had a plan to help finance the sign and offered to release me from the contract if I wasn’t satisfied. At first I was skeptical of this ‘too good to be true’ offer but found that, indeed, it was true. Husk Signs took care of every aspect from the permitting process to helping us learn the software. It was one of the least painful and more enjoyable business experiences that I have had. Thank you Husk Signs, great job!"

"Your company installed two signs at our new restaurant, Country Plaza BBQ in Sturgis, KY. Before the sign installation, sales were OK. I am pleased and excited to report to you that one day after the signs went up, we experienced a sales growth of 60%. I will have to admit, at first, I thought it must be a fluke. After hearing the comments in regards to the signs from our customers, and the sales have held true for a month now, I realize it was due to the signs and nothing else. I expected a gradual sales growth, but to me this is phenomenal.

I knew your company was capable of doing a good job, as we have done business with you in the past. I’ll be the first to admit though, I didn’t expect this. The sign was installed in a professional and courteous manner, with no problems or issues. Unfortunately, in today’s time that is a rarity. Give everyone involved a pat on the back from us, as they did an outstanding job. Good luck to you and your employees in the future."
