Why the Sign Industry?

    • Multi Billion Dollar Industry (estimates vary from $8B-$11B depending on source)
    • The sign industry is a business to business (B2B) service.  Sign and graphics companies overwhelmingly serve other business clients rather than individual retail consumers.
    • The customer is typically a professional individual in a management, administrative, or ownership position within the business they represent. 
    • Business hours are typically along the lines of 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
    • Many sign companies are located in a retail location for easy access and high visibility, and yet are providing a business to business service with non-retail hours.
    • The industry continues to adapt to new technology, yet ownership isn’t required to have highly technical expertise
    • Multiple industry organizations provide significant resources for training and ongoing education.
    • The industry has historically weathered down markets or recessions quite well.
    • Signs and graphics are a “need” for businesses, not a luxury or indispensable expense.
    • Highly fragmented industry – no one dominant company within the industry, allowing independents and franchises alike to succeed in various markets across the country!
