The Sign Maker can easily generate attractive signs for your sales floor. With Promo signs, you can create signs straight out of a promo code that is setup in the PS module of Cougar Mountain. These signs can be 3 different sizes, and you can print an entire promo code worth of signs or just a select few.

Generating Promo Signs

From the Promo Code drop down menu, select the promo code you wish to print signs for. After selecting a code, the table bellow will show all of the items in that code. Click “Check All” to print signs for every item, or go through the table and pick just the items you want to generate signs for by clicking the “Print” checkbox in the right column. Once you have the items you want checked, click the Printer button in the bottom right of the window to generate and print the signs. The signs will contain the following information:

• Stock number (Stock field in IN Module of Cougar Mountain)


• Description (Description field)


• Regular retail price (Price 1 field)


• Promo price (From the promo code in PS)


• The current company name (Company name from CMS Company Information)


• UPC code (Interchangeable Field in IN)


• Date the Promotion ends (From the promo code in PS)

Printing Signs

After clicking the print button, a print dialog box will appear. Select the number of signs you want per page. “1 Per Page” will make the signs each a page big, while “4 Per Page” will fit four separate signs onto a single piece of paper. After you have decided on a size, select print or preview and press OK.

Tip: Try using thicker, colored paper and a paper cutter for a more professional look!
