Vinyl lettering is a great way to advertise no matter the climate but warm climates like Florida, Arizona, Southern California, Alabama and Georgia is great. Vinyl lettering holds up in warm weather and could be applied easier in warmer weather. Most vinyl lettering used could hold up to 5-8 years in the strong sun in the warmer area's of the country like South Florida(Miami, Ft. Lauderdale & West Palm Beach), Southern California(San Diego, Los Angeles) and Texas(Dallas, Houston). Vinyl lettering is a great way to get your message up quickly and inexpensively. Even with rough economic times you must advertise your business or at least let your future customers know where you are. Vinyl lettering you could apply to most surfaces. In South Florida where tourism is a large part of economics you could apply vinyl lettering to jet skis, boats and transportation vehicles(buses, limo's, shuttle's and taxies). Although the Real Estate market has slowed down in South Florida, vinyl lettering is a great way to advertise on windows for office or industrial spaces for rent. Residential properties in South Florida use corrugated plastic or yard signs
