Storks.com was founded back in 2006. The long-standing symbolic association between Storks and Newborn Babies gave us a vision to make “Storks.com” a recognized brand that offers one of the largest stork signs available with a nationwide reach to anyone, anywhere in the United States. This vision included the introduction of our rentable giant Stork signs (then 7’ 2”), delivered and setup through a network of exclusive dealers.
Soon after our Stork Sign Rentals started, we reevaluated our business model and realized size wasn’t everything. A few years later, we totally redesigned our Stork Signs to make them light-weight, shippable, easy to assemble, easy to display, etc. This eliminated many of the issues rented stork signs can present.
Sometimes we are asked “Why don’t you Rent Storks”? The following information can explain why we have changed to Sales over Rentals. Below you will find some issues that we learned can occur with Rental Signs along with the solutions we have developed in our user-friendly Stork Signs.
Service Area Availability
Problem: There are still areas in the United States that do not have available stork rentals. This is sad to think that in some cities and towns, parents cannot get a stork to their homes.
Solution: Storks.com signs are shippable and user-friendly so if we do not have a Storks.com Dealer in your area, we ship the Stork Sign to you. This way you can get a Stork Sign anywhere in the continental United States.
Rental Periods
Problem: Rental periods are usually pre-established upon purchase of the rental. Often the consumer wants to extend the rental and hates to see the cute stork leave. This can cause a tremendous problem if the stork is already booked to be displayed somewhere else after the agreed rental period. We even had customers offer to buy the rental stork.
Solution: Our Storks.com signs are yours to keep. This gives you the ability to decide how long you want to display it outside and inside as well.
Consumers Expense
Problem: The cost of a sign rental is not cheap. Most of the cost of the rental is delivery, professional setup and removal.
Solution: Storks.com mass produces our lightweight, smaller, user-friendly Stork Signs. This allows us to sell, personalize and deliver at a price which is usually 25% less than stork sign rentals. And our cute Stork Sign is YOURS To KEEP!!!
Lengthy Setup & Removal
Problem: These signs must be set up by the sign company because of the know-how, expertise and the tools needed. Installations of large lawn signs are usually not very user-friendly and may create a bit of noise when properly installing the post.
Solution: Storks.com signs are user-friendly and can be Setup and Removed by most consumers in a matter of minutes. If we have a local dealer in your area, they will give you the option of setting up the stork sign for you
Plaque Lettering
Problem: The personalized lettering on most stork rentals goes on the bundle or a small plaque on the stork. This restricts the letters to being relatively small and not always readable from a distance.
Solution: Storks.com Signs gives one of the largest lettering options available. We utilize a large 10” Long x 8” High section of the Stork’s body for the baby’s Birth Statistics to read easily at a good distance.
Ageing, Wear and Maintenance
Problem: Like any other rental, these signs will age and show wear and tear. Of course you are usually not getting a new sign. They do get dirty and begin to show wear after several uses.
Solution: Storks.com sells new Stork Signs that come to you in perfect brand-new condition.
Limited Lawn Availability
Problem: Some Sign Rental companies offer only outside lawn mounting options. This may not work for every type of home.
Solution: Storks.com Signs offer a wide variety of mounts that can be suitable for displaying your Stork Sign almost anywhere.
Safety
Problem: Sometimes children get tempted to climb on the sign. Also, we have seen issues of the larger signs falling due to high winds or weight stress. This can cause a safety issue and possible injury(s).
Solution: Storks.com signs are not heavy and not made of hard wood, so they are simply not climbable and will not fall due to weight stress.
Lawn & Underground Damage
Problem: Large signs are quite impressive, but they must be secured into the ground properly and far enough to support the weight of the sign. Sign installation is very similar to that of a fence post installation which usually requires a post driver to install the post, and the post puller to remove it. If the post ruptures an underground sprinkler line or any other inground utility, it can propose a problem.
Solution: Storks.com has designed user-friendly Stork Signs that are lightweight and non-invasive to install by simply pushing the two H-frame prongs into the ground by hand. No tools needed.
Limited Inventory
Problem: Stork Sign Rental companies may have limited sign inventory due to unpredictable fluctuation of rental demand in any given area.
Solution: Storks.com sells our signs nationwide so we are constantly producing our signs for a large audience across the United States.
Placement & Relocation
Problems: At times, the homeowner changes their mind about the location of the stork sign and wants it physically relocated to another area of the home. This would require the sign rental company to come back to remove the sign and reinstall it at the expense of the homeowners.
Solution: Storks.com Signs are so easy to install and remove, that you can relocate the stork sign on your own and as often as you like.
Theft, Vandalism & Damage
Problem: In the rare event your rental sign gets stolen, damaged or vandalized, the consumer is usually responsible to pay for the rental sign which can be hundreds of dollars.
Solution: Storks.com signs are yours and owned by you. In the event of theft, damage, or vandalism, your expense is limited to the sign price you paid. This price is often way less than that of a rental sign.
HOA Restrictions
Problem: HOAs, condos, co-ops, apartment complexes, etc. usually do not want formal installations of large signs on their grounds.
Solution: Since our Storks.com signs are lightweight and do not require digging and noisy setup, many Apartments, Condos, Co-ops, HOAs are good with the setup and temporary display of our signs. In addition, we offer many other displaying options with our included mounts. Always check with your management company before placing anything on the property.
To this day, we have discovered our current Stork Signs are ideal for loyal consumers and have been ordered again and again by existing customers to announce the birth of their following children.
We include a simple stork sign assembly manual and offer free phone assistance through our nationwide Toll Free number at: 844-4-STORKS.
Ask for a genuine “Storks.com Stork Sign”. We hope you will order your Stork Sign and let us know how you like it. We welcome all our customers to send us a photo of their displayed sign.
