Custom-Built Pole Signs That Command Attention Across OH, KY and WV

When visibility matters most, nothing works harder for your business than a professionally built pole sign. Sun Sign Company designs, fabricates, installs, and services pole signs for businesses of all sizes—from single-location shops to major retailers with high-rise signs soaring over 130 feet in the air.

What Is a Pole Sign?

A pole sign is a freestanding sign elevated on a single steel column. It’s typically installed near a roadway or parking lot entrance, where it can catch the attention of passing motorists from long distances. Pole signs often include internally illuminated sign cabinets, and many are now being upgraded with Electronic Message Centers for even greater flexibility.

From mom-and-pop shops to churches, car dealerships, convenience stores, and multi-location chains, these signs can play a vital role in attracting customers and enhancing brand visibility.—especially in high-speed traffic zones.

Why Pole Signs Work

  • Maximum Visibility – Tall signage puts your business where drivers can see it from blocks away.

  • Increased Traffic & Sales – The International Sign Association reports that new pole signage can drive a 15% to 30% increase in revenue within the first year.

  • Nighttime Illumination – Built with energy-efficient LED lighting for around-the-clock visibility.

  • Long-Term Durability – Steel structures with powder-coated finishes hold up to years of weather exposure.

  • Code-Compliant & Engineered to Spec – Every sign is designed to meet local wind-load and safety requirements.

Built to Last: Our Pole Sign Process
