Advantage LED is a company that provides nationwide LED sign services who manufactures and sells their own products. Their headquarters in Huston, TX has an art department and tech support internally to develop and implement solutions for their customers. Additionally, all of their signs are manufactured at their headquarters and then transported to the installation location directly.

The company states that when a customer inquiries about Advantages services, a sales representative gets in touch with the customer to discover their needs and desires for the sign. They do a complete analysis of the location using Google Earth to help determine the best size and pitch. A pitch is the distance between the LED diodes, the wider the pitch, the less expensive the sign and lowers the resolution of the sign. Additional factors that are reviewed for the sign proposal are dependent on the type of business, location of the business, and traffic of the surrounding area. After determining what is appropriate for the customer, a sales rep provides a written proposal to the customer that states pricing information and the packages available specific to the location.

During the sales process, Advantage LED states that they discuss their warranties with the client. They provide five year warranties for in house parts and labors. In the instance there is a part damaged, the company would run a diagnostics on the sign from their offices, overnight the parts and the customer would be responsible for the cost affiliated. They always have technical support available at no additional charge for installing repairs or modifications. Advantage does offer extended warranties for the boards (not the entire project) that cover onsite service calls if necessary.

After the sale of the sign, Advantage states that they have an internal project management department that handles the implementation of the project. They work with the client to continue to provide open communication and deal with the other components to the project, such as the wooden frame, bricks or any other special requests and artwork the client has specified. The company works with subcontractors and installers to complete the project. They state that the company has great relationships and communication with the contractors they use. Their installers are all required to be licensed sign contractors keep consistent and ensure all guidelines are being met. They are also required to provide proof of insurance liabilities and occasionally required to be electricians. Throughout the installation, the project manager is still keeping in contact with the client. At completion of the project the client is asked to sign off and provide feedback before the contractor is paid and the job is closed out.

After the installation of the sign, the client may still need technical support. Advantage states that a client can submit a request for technical support and their office can remotely run diagnosis and figure out the issue. If the problem can be solved remotely, the company has the capabilities to troubleshoot problems over the computer. If it is a more severe issue, tech support can ship parts needed to the customer to solve issues. Advantage constantly works to have good communication with the client through this process. If the client is not available to keep up with communication, it can slow down the time it takes to solve the problem, but the company is continually working to get better at communication in general.

In dealing with complaints, Advantage LED states that most of their complaints have come from an expectation of a client wanting the sign completed within a quick turnaround time. Due to the nature of the business, that expectation is not something the company feels that can provide in order to keep within the standards for their products. To address those issues they work to continually have good communication with the client. They have an internal policy that addresses orders in the order in which was received.

Advantage LED is very excited to be a part of the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program because they state that they see it as an opportunity to resolve any problems the clients might have with their products or services. They also look forward to using the services that Rip Off Report provides to address any problems that need to be reconciled in relation to customer service.

ADvantage LED Signs technical support team has made dramatic changes to their internal process and procedures. All customer information is held in a large database including, photos, schematics and other documentation about the clients installation and products. This enables the support staff to quickly locate the information needed about product configurations and setting to resolve support tickets quickly and efficiently. The tech manager stated, We have all of the clients information right at our fingertips. Just the other day I talked to a client who purchased over 3 years ago and was able to pull up the exact controller configuration and help them reconnect a cable that had become loose. Our onboard diagnostics does most of the work, it helps to locate disconnects within the control system. Once you locate the trouble area, it is just a matter of a few items to check out.

ADvantage LED Signs Customer Relationship Management Software allows them to keep a client specific case log of all interactions with their clients. This allows support staff to review past entries and client history to help quickly resolve support cases. ADvantage LED Signs recognizes that complaints posted on Ripoff Report (whether true or not) are issues that need to be addressed, not ignored. If handled correctly, complaints can be valuable learning opportunities. With the feedback generated by Rip-off Reports Investigation ADvantage LED Signs has made organizational changes allowing its clients and employees a more streamlined approach to problem resolution and a commitment to a great client experience.

In summary, after our investigation, which included discussions with ADvantage LED Signs employees and many of their past and current associates, Rip-off Report is convinced that Advantage LED Signs is committed to quality products and services resulting in total client satisfaction.

===================== NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED

=====================

Advantage LED Signs & Lighting Mark Bullock This company lies and will say whatever it takes to take you money. Beware of liers! Houston, Texas

I found this company on the internet while searching for led signs, and decided to give them a call. I was transfered to a sales person named Mark Bullock. He gave me his pitch of why his led signs are the best there are, and there's none better. Then he gave me this outrageous price and when he heard my reaction, he immediately lowered it by a large amount of money. This should've been my first clue these guys were crooks. Over the next few weeks i was shopping other companies all while Mark kept calling and it seemed like he would tell me everything i wanted to hear about the sign. It came down to decision time and yet again, Mark discounted the sign again if i sign with their company that week. "But wait there's more" Mark claimed that since they are the "manufacturer" they can get my sign within 2 weeks. I ended up giving them a 50% deposit and nearly 3months have passed and i still have no sign. I've tried to get a hold of Mark and he won't return any calls. I'm trying to deal with other people in that company that are giving me empty promises every time i call. They called nearly everyday while trying to get my money, but now it's nearly impossible to reach anyone there. This company has horrible customer service and will say anything to get your money. Beware of this company.

After my "purchase" i did some research on this company and found that this company does not even have a year in business even though Mark claimed over 10 years. I also found out they are not manufacturers. Mark claimed that they manufacture their signs out of California, yet their own employees told me that the sign has not arrived yet from China!!! Who knows what type of sign i will receive in the end if i ever even receive it.

I have still not received my sign so i have to stay anonymous in the hopes of eventually getting it. But i have to post this so that other hard working business owners will be more cautious of this company and their empty promises. Especially in these hard uncertain times do your research before you purchase anything!!!
