According to the Small Business Administration, business owners
can expect a significant level of return on an investment in an
LED Electronic Message Center Display.

     The SBA reports that businesses that choose to enhance their signage with an LED electronic message display typically see an increase in business of 15% to 150%. Using the smaller number, consider the following example.

     A small business generating $1,000.00 a day in revenue adds an electronic message center. The business soon increases by 15%, adding another $150 per day in total revenue. That translates into an additional $1,050.00 a week in revenue, or $54,600.00 per year.

     It has been said that in retailing, "the last dollars are the best dollars," meaning that each additional customer adds a greater marginal percentage to the business's bottom line profit. In the foregoing example, we can only speculate upon the actual impact upon profit, but assuming that the business was at or above its "break-even" point before adding the electronic message center, the addition of $54,600.00 per year in revenue would clearly add to the business's profit.

     Keep in mind that with this example, the investment in the LED Display could be about one-third of the additional revenue generated in the first year of its operation alone.
