Not Your Average Sign Company

We wanted to learn what makes this award-winning business tick, so we took a few minutes to talk with Don Markum, the owner of FASTSIGNS of Lexington.

To kick off our conversation, we asked Don about what it is that makes FASTSIGNS of Lexington unique compared to the many other sign companies in Kentucky. Don told us:

“We are not a fly-by-night kind of company; we have been open for 30 years. I would put our reputation for quality, service and timeliness against everybody. We have really good buying power, being a franchise, so that is definitely an advantage.”

Don went on to tell us that he and his team of 11 employees are having a record year this year.

We also asked Don about the FASTSIGNS of Lexington mission and how they work to make the world a better place. Don shared with us a few of the ways they give back to their community:

“We pick out different organizations each year that we do charity work with. We try not to keep it all with the same organizations. We work with the American Cancer Society, and we donate a lot of signs for many different causes. We have done a ton of work for the University of Kentucky Children’s Hospital as well.”

Building Success With the Best Employees

Don credits FASTSIGNS of Lexington’s strong online reputation to their employees, as well as to the fact that they’ve been in business for 30 years now. Don added:

“We are a family run business. My wife works here. My oldest son works here as well and, hopefully, will be taking over soon.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, FASTSIGNS of Lexington has grown through pay-per-click advertising and their outside sales team, which is proactive about looking for new business and generating referrals. The FASTSIGNS franchise also does television ads.

There are many business owners looking to grow their business and build their online reputation. Here’s Don’s expert advice for them:

“My biggest advice is to always do what you say you are going to do. We make promises, and we deliver. Underpromise and overdeliver. We win a lot of jobs just by showing up.”


Congratulations to FASTSIGNS of Lexington for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Don, for taking the time to speak with us!
