Not sure if signage is right for you? Read on to learn about the profitability and opportunity that the sign industry offers in 2017.
Is the signage world profitable in 2017?
We live in the Internet Era, and the web has transformed almost every aspect of our existence; we hop online to do our shopping, socialize with friends, order food, and even promote our businesses.
And yet, while a tremendous amount of advertising occurs online, the need for signage hasn’t flinched. Regardless of how strong your online presence may be, the fact is that people are still reassured by large, high-quality signage. Physical signage is perhaps the best way for a business owner to make a strong first impression, and the only way to capitalize on the foot traffic offered by favorable store locations.
But don’t take our word for it; quantitative data from sign industry analysis paints a similar picture.
The sign-making, graphics, and visual communications industry is currently showing signs of growth that are projected to continue well into 2017 and beyond, according to quarterly economic reports by the International Sign Association (ISA).
ISA research suggests that signs, graphics, and visual communications will remain above-trend, booming beyond historic patterns to yield a revenue of more than $1.6-billion in the US alone.
Additional highlights from the report include:
- All markets will remain “above trend” for 2017 and 2018.
- Despite a slow start to 2016, printing suppliers should see growth patterns return to “par” in 2017-2018.
- Suppliers to the electronic and digital sectors will see a slight increase in 2017, then remain strong into 2018.
- Expectations for the end-market for electric and digital signs in 2017 remain very strong.
- The end market for architectural signage will enjoy extremely favorable conditions through 2017, but is anticipated to return to its long-term trend by 2018.
