Experience Value and Beauty with Rock Signs

When Rock Signs was founded 23 years ago, their goal was to build a better tee sign. In those days, there were basically only the high maintenance wood signs being used on most golf course tee boxes. Using granite, Rock Signs knew they could build a better, longer-lasting display that would not require the constant money that was being spent on upkeep.

They soon discovered that how a sign was displayed was just as important as the sign itself. So they developed a number of unique pedestal designs. Company founder, Dave Jardine, remarked, “By combining the two materials, it gave us the ability to design other products which complimented the tee display”.

Some of these include stone and granite benches, stone and granite tee markers, entrance signs, yardage markers, directional signage and more. All have the same characteristics -- they long outlast competing wood and plastic products while requiring little or no monies spent on upkeep. Rock Signs’ stone and granite tee signs last over twenty years with no additional maintenance expenses.
 
Still, without question, the number one reason customers buy Rock Signs’ products is for their unparalleled natural beauty. Be assured these granite signs add style, class and elegance to all areas they are placed into. Golf courses, town and city parks, trail associations, businesses, service clubs, home owners and more continue to be Rock Signs customers.  

Rock Signs has an advertising division where clubs can obtain their displays at no cost to them through sponsors. The North American golfer is a sought after target market for many companies products or services. Placing an ad on a tee sign or tee bench is a good place to gain exposure. Certainly the ad programs are not for everyone, but for some it works extremely well. Often a club will make money through their sponsors.

Rock Signs also supplies a unique line of products that can be bought for resale. These include Theme Stones which are sandblasted river rocks with text and/or designs etched into them. Very popular to commemorate an event or special occasion, most often purchased as a gift item. Rock Signs also has a line of logo wall and bar plaques and soon they will be introducing logoed granite drink coasters.

Last September Rock Signs signed a distribution agreement with VGM Club and looks forward to a long and successful relationship with United States' premier distribution company. Please check out their introductory special which is offered to all VGM Club members. Rock Signs has offices in Des Moines, Iowa and Lacombe Alberta Canada. They can be reached by calling 800-463-7446 or visiting the Web site at www.rocksignusa.com.
