5 Unique Ways to Propose to Your Partner

Check out these marriage proposal ideas people will remember for the rest of their lives.

Marriage proposals have gone viral on social media. Most of these videos show the guy (or girl!) announcing it in family dinners or getting down on one knee during a vacation. They are romantic, yes, but if you want to do it in a unique and unforgettable way, try to do the unexpected.

That is why for this love month, we created a list of five unique ways to propose to your partner.

Use a LED sign.

If your partner loves the limelight, this is one idea that you can consider. You can rent a scrolling LED sign basically anywhere -- in your favorite restaurant, the mall, or even in a train station. Choose the place that has a significance for you both. You can also hire a band to make people stop in their tracks, admire the music, and watch everything unfold.

Rent a movie theater.

This idea is absolutely perfect for film junkies. Even better if you live in a small town with an old theater. Watch an old romantic movie or any of your favorite movies. Once the film has finished, and the lights go on, get down on one knee and pop the question. Be more creative by cooking up a special proposal video and have it played after the movie.

Plan a scavenger hunt.

If you guys love adventure, plan a scavenger hunt. And not just any hunt. Make it extra complicated, extra romantic, and very memorable. Ask her to go to the places you two frequently go, or the place where you two first met. Every mission has to have significance. If you don’t want her to be suspicious, tell her it’s for your anniversary or her birthday.

Hide the ring in a book.

Get two copies of her favorite book or a book she has always wanted to read. One is the copy to give her with your love message written on it, while the second has to carry the ring. Create a DIY ring box out of one of the books by cutting a square in the middle of the pages. Once she opens it, quickly get down on one knee. Of course, don’t forget to give the pristine copy of the book after she says yes.

Commission a painting.

Lastly is to propose by giving her a painting. If you guys are art lovers, this is the best way to go. Have an artist create a painting of you both or any image that has a huge significance on your relationship. There are many ways to give it to her -- you can hang it in your bedroom at night, so it’s the first thing she sees in the morning. Or, you can have it displayed in your local art gallery and propose to her there.

5 New ATM Signs for Your Business

Check out these new LED signs for your shop.

A good business will do everything to satisfy their customers’ needs and wants. To stay above the competition, you have to be quick to adapt to the current trends and be able to give other services for your customers’ convenience. One of which is having ATM machines. This is a relief for shoppers who need cash to pay for stuff in your store, or in other stores. Having these machines also increases the chance of these people shopping in your business, rather than other stores without them.

And to let passersby know that you have ATM machines, it’s best to display a LED sign that says so. This week, we are turning the spotlight on to our new signs which are of just the right size to place by your shop's window.

Top Content to Display in Programmable LED Signs

Here's what to display in your signs to increase sales.

LED signs, as we always stated, are beneficial to any business. They catch much more attention than the traditional static signs. If you are still wondering as to what effective content is best to input to your programmable LED signs, then you are in luck. This week, we will discuss the top content that you can program into your signs to help boost your business.

Business hours

This is utterly important, especially for 24-hour businesses. In the case you need to close the store early, it’s best to make the announcement via these signs. Doing so will prevent customers from getting disappointed because they weren’t able to find our your business hours in advance.

Social media accounts

If you have indoor LED signs and have a waiting area, it’s best to display your social media accounts. Your customers can check these channels out while they are in line, and their wait won’t be as boring. You can also encourage them to leave reviews while they are killing time!

Daily specials

Announce to your loyal customers your daily specials via your signs. This is especially the case for food businesses. This will help hungry people waiting in line with their purchase decisions and therefore make transactions smoother and faster.

Current promotions and deals

If you have new promotions and sales, you can flash them in your scrolling LED signs. This is beneficial to your staff, as they wouldn’t need to mention this information to every customer who checks out.

Business achievements

Make your customers trust you more by letting them know of your business achievements. Displaying this information in your signs will make people think highly of your business, and make them feel that they made the right decision of buying your products or services.

Quote of the day

Inspire your customers; display a motivational quote in your LED signs. Make everyone smile with some inspiring words and make sure to change it daily. These quotes should be related to your business and have a light or funny tone to positively affect everyone who comes into your shop.
