“We built an entire concept around the sign spinners for our recent McDonald’s campaign.  We thought we would have to go out of town to find the kind of talent we were searching for.  The personality, energy, and spirit exhibited by the AArrow Sign Spinners brought our campaign to life.  They were so much a part of the campaign that it allowed us to utilize them for additional PR as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them for future projects.”

“Working with the AArrow Advertising Denver crew was streamlined, effective and reliable. In a crazy April blizzard, the sign spinner showed up 10 minutes early for his 7 a.m. shift. We were able to effectively increase our location's visibility and land a fairly sizable corporate account. All of this was based completely off the exposure the AArrow Sign Spinner created. We will continue to use the services of AArrow Advertising to draw attention to our retail locations.”

“AArrow Sign Spinners have the look of a more professional and respectable company to do business with. When we use spinners it helps people locate our events and also raises questions about the chamber and AArrow Advertising .I first saw AArrow Sign Spinning on the corner of 2nd and Beech and I was attracted by how motivated the sign spinner was and how he was enjoying his job, while advertising for a condo complex. Anyone looking to promote their business or event in a professional manner should use AArrow Advertising. AArrow Advertising does a lot of good for the community and the county by helping young kids with jobs and responsibility.”

“The sign spinner was something totally foreign to marketing efforts at State Farm and CA became the first Zone in the Enterprise to use this tactic to reach consumers.  Not only did it help increase the awareness of our rate reduction campaign, it became such a huge hit with our Good Neighbor State Farm Agents, many of them wanted to create their own signs and have their staff "spinning" messages.  Along with the billboards and aerial signage we bought over the 4th of July weekend, the sign spinners fit perfectly into our plans.”

Bobby Wilkinson

“The AArrow Sign Spinners are 100% Kultivate and their way of super interactive marketing helped us showcase our brand concept: conformity kills. When the sign spinners were in Barcelona for Kultivate, they created a lot of exposure that helped get the attention of potential buyers at the fair, when we didn’t even have a booth there. AArrow has a unique way of grabbing attention in front of large crowds, being infinitely more effective than traditional 'static' advertising!”

“Typically we use spinners near our locations to attract business. We’re targeting both blue and white collar clientele. On days we use them we see a drastic improvement in sales. Up to $600 a day.We use AArrow Sign Spinners to direct traffic to our stores first thing in the morning.  It’s perfect for us because we are able to reach our target market on their way to work and help them start their day out with a smile.  Stores that use AArrow Sign Spinners have had a 30-40% increase in sales whenever the spinners are out there.  Not only do the spinners attract tons of attention, but AArrow’s staff is polite and responsive to company needs.”

Thank you for working with us by presenting the best sign spinners in the country to our businesses.  We know schedules have been hectic lately but we have seen a dramatic increase in our revenues from what you bring to us.  Sales are climbing so fast we can barely keep up and most new customers inform us that the sign spinners are the reason they stopped in to see us.  For that, we would like to continue utilizing your company for our advertising efforts at both locations.  In addition, we are currently in the process of expanding to 2 additional locations within the next month.

“I continually use the word effective because being effective is so important to us. We are not on a busy street, we are tucked away off the busy street so what AArrow sign spinners do is basically create a stir and we use the term ‘drive the train’. Basically AArrow drives the train of people to our property. People spend millions of dollars on TV advertising and you really hope that certain type of clientele is watching. But when you are in a car at a stop light and you see someone point in the direction of the product, you think, I’m in my car right now; I’ll go take a look. It’s amazing, that’s what we really wanted and that’s what we are getting.”

Rich Castro

“We started with AArrow Advertising because I was impressed with the job they were doing for a nearby business. We even get compliments from traffic that comes by as a result of the sign spinners. Telling us that they have specifically come in because they saw the guy on the corner and they got a smile from him. I think that speaks volumes about them, their company and their employees. We’ve been happy to work with them and recommend them to anyone who is looking to draw traffic and attention to their business.”

“We were delighted to work with the team of AArrow Sign Spinners for Cojean’s operation: let's get physical. The idea was to put forward our fresh fruit juice manufactured in our juice bar. With the help of the AArrow Sign Spinners, the operation was a success and Cojean's overall sales increased by more than 21 percent. The total sale of fruit juices jumped to 50,000 ; an increase of more than 75 percent from the previous year. Our customer traffic and sales success this year is attributed to using the AArrow Sign Spinners. ”
