				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>On average a busy vehicle is seen up to 3000 times per hour, so why not use your vehicle to advertise your business?</strong></p>
<p>Having a vehicle  with your company name or logo on it, is one of the most cost effective ways of  creating brand awareness for your company. If you divide the cost of getting  vehicle graphics against the amount of people that will see it, it will almost  certainly far exceed any other form of advertising available in terms of  value for money.</p>
<p><strong>You may have noticed that some enterprising business owners park their van in high traffic areas rather than at their place of work. The reason is obvious, massive, constant and effectively free advertising to their local market. </strong></p>
<p>Van signs and other vehicle signs get your  business noticed.</p>
<p><strong>Magnetic Car Signs</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
If you regularly switch between  vehicles whilst out on the road or update your vehicle often, then  magnetic signs could be the anwser for you. All of our magnetic signs  are made from a high quality grade of magnet, which means unlike some of the  cheaper alternatives usually found on the internet, they will stay on your  vehicle whilst you are driving.</p>
<p><strong>Contact Lakeland Signs to discuss your ideas or for a quote for your vehicle signs.</strong></p>

<p>Is  your shop signage getting the right sort of attention from potential  clients?</p>
<p>We are often asked to come up with new design ideas  for Business owners who have decicded that their signage has started to  look aged and tatty, and could do with an update to help attract new  customers, and also to help keep exisiting ones!</p>
<p>A good quality  shop fascia helps create a good first impression which could be the  difference in you receiving work or not.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>We can design and supply virtually any type of sign: Banners,  Vehicle Graphics, Shop Signs, Magnetic Signs, Full Colour Printing,  Exhibition Banners, Engraved plaques, Cable Display Systems, Projecting  Brackets, UV Window  Films</strong></p>

<p><strong>Banners</strong><br />
Banners  are a cost effective soloution when it comes to marketing your company  to your potential audience, they can be erected at the top of buildings or at  the top of scoffolding which can been seen by thousands of people  everyday.</p>
<p><strong>Full Colour  Printing</strong><br />
There many different types of  materials that we can print on, from ordinary printed vinyl to wallpaper, and  Vinyl that can be applied directly to a brick wall, no matter which material you  choose, you can be sure that the quality of the print is brilliant thanks to the  Mimaki Jv33 printer that we use.</p>
<p><strong>Engraved  Plaques </strong><br />
We can create Tradtional looking Brass  Plaques, they can also be produced from Perspex if you are looking for  something more modern.</p>
<p><strong>Cable Display  Systems</strong><br />
Often seen in estate agents, the cable display  system is great way of utilising your window or office space, either for  passing, or waiting customers. Below is a picture of and LED cable display  system fitted in ulverston, great for attracting peoples attention a  night.</p>
<p><strong>UV Window Films</strong><br />
Used to stop  UV rays fading and Dameging products that sit behind the window, a much  better looking option than the usual unsightly yellow sun blinds which I often  replace.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I WILL not remove my A-board.</p>
<p>That’s the defiant message from a Hampshire hairdresser to highway chiefs who are taking legal action to get him to remove an A-board on the pavement outside his business.</p>
<p>Nick Martin, who is company director of Trevor Mitchell’s in Market Place, Romsey, has been at war with Hampshire highways bosses for months over the A-board advertising the hairdressers.</p>
<p>Hampshire County Council says Aboards on the pavements can be a hazard to the visually impaired and can obstruct people with disability problems and parents with pushchairs.</p>
<p>But now, after three letters asking Mr Martin, to remove the A-board, the county council has started legal proceedings.</p>
<p>However, Mr Martin has vowed to fight on and he’s even tried to get the backing of the Prime Minister.</p>
<p>Mr Martin said that he’s written to Mr Cameron and he’s now waiting for a full reply after receiving an acknowledgement from the PM’s office.</p>
<p>“I’ve told Mr Cameron how important A-boards are to small businesses.</p>
<p>Businesses are struggling and they need all the help they can get in the current economic climate,” said Mr Martin, who added: “I am very concerned about this and if Business drops, I might have to cut staff numbers.”</p>
<p>Mr Martin accused the county council of using a “heavy handed” pproach to force traders to comply with its rules.</p>
<p>“There are 21 businesses in Romsey that have been threatened with a £100 fine for putting A-boards outside their premises,” said Mr Martin.</p>
<p>A council spokesman said three letters had been sent to Mr Martin asking him to remove the A-board.</p>
<p>The spokesman said the latest states: “We have previously highlighted that Hampshire County Council recognises that A-boards are used as a means of advertising but when a number of businesses are using the same methods, this has an impact on people’s ability to move freely around the town.”</p>
<p>The spokesman added the highways officers would check to see if Aboards are still in place outside Romsey businesses this week and if they are, the authority’s solicitors will serve a formal notice on offenders.</p>
