Modern Sign and Digital Imaging Business
Investment: $193,500
Description
98% of all signs are indoors. They are paper posters, cardboard, banners and thin plastic like materials. Most signs are thrown away every month. Right now is the most exciting period in the history of digital imaging. Gone are the days of sign painters, and with them the noxious paints and chemicals. Today's technology allows us to make signs from cut vinyl to the more popular large format digital printing. Signs are no longer what they once were; today's sign shop is a quasi-advertising agency featuring full-color designs and graphics.
This franchise opens every new center with state-of-the-art graphic equipment in order to meet the needs of everyone from the small business owner to corporate clientele. Heres what a modern day sign business looks like: Signs are custom production, so every day is different and you will see tangible, visible results of your efforts as you drive around town.
Its close to home, in a low-overhead business park location, operating Monday-Friday 9-5, no nights, weekends or holidays, with a small staff of career employees. There are no loud noises, odors, or dangerous chemicals. Its a relationship business with repeat customers. Twenty to thirty of those customers can equal 80% of your revenue. Many of those customers may be regional and even national in scope. Its a non-cash transaction business, so when you are out seeing customers, you dont have to worry about whos holding the money. When you are ready to sell your business, it will sell for more than most business models because of the manufacturing sector you are in, the small core of repeat customers and the profit margins obtainable due to the custom nature of the business. This company has established itself as a leader in the sign industry.
