In the dynamic world of business, the decisions we make define not only our brand but also the values we uphold. At It Stix Signs & Graphics Inc., we are staunch advocates for ethical business practices—and this commitment extends to every aspect of our services, including highway sign locations.
Highway signs are more than just markers on the road; they are a powerful component of your brand’s visibility and identity. Unfortunately, there is growing concern surrounding the ethics of acquiring sign locations. In response, we take a firm stand: businesses should gain access to these locations through transparent and fair means.
Ethical branding builds trust. When your brand is associated with integrity, it resonates more deeply with customers and communities. Therefore, making values-driven choices isn’t just ideal—it’s essential.
Rather than leasing through third-party providers—who often charge inflated fees—we strongly recommend applying directly through the Ministry of Transportation (MTO). Not only is this a more affordable route, but it also gives you long-term control of the space, often in five-year increments.
This method aligns with our belief in transparency, long-term value, and empowering our clients to make informed decisions. Additionally, it puts you in direct communication with the governing body, removing unnecessary intermediaries.
Of course, saving money is a bonus. However, choosing not to participate in excessive profiteering sends a much bigger message. When you apply directly through the MTO, you are taking a stand for your brand values. This decision helps shape the narrative around your business—one rooted in honesty, fairness, and integrity.
Moreover, ethical decisions attract like-minded partners and loyal customers. In today’s values-driven marketplace, that can be one of your strongest assets.
If you’re ready to move forward with an honest and cost-effective solution, follow these simple steps:
At It Stix Signs & Graphics Inc., we don’t just design beautiful signage—we walk alongside our clients in making informed, ethical choices that reflect their long-term goals and values. Whether it’s on the highway or on your storefront, every sign we create tells a story. Let yours be one of integrity.
In an era where ethical business practices are gaining well-deserved attention, the way you secure your highway sign location matters. Choose the path of integrity. Choose transparency. And most importantly, choose to represent your brand in a way that you’ll be proud of for years to come.
