You don’t need any graphics arts education or prior experience with signs. Our owners come from all walks of life, from bankers to secretaries to construction workers. No matter what their background, they all share a strong work ethic, a desire to build a business with no limitations and the realization that working for themselves is their ultimate destiny. They apply their people skills to help their customers with solutions they need to promote their business and they utilize their project management skills to get the job done on time.
Signworld Owners operate commercial sign companies located in light industrial business parks. They are not the retail sign stores you see in the shopping centers. They operate under regular hours, Monday through Friday, 9:00am-5:00pm, with career-type employees proactively manage the daily activities allowing the business owner to focus on what’s most important. By providing a professional customer experience and utilizing state-of-the-art equipment, you’ll leave your competition behind.
Using proven sales and marketing strategies, Our 340+ Owners establish relationships with clients that have repetitive needs. Your top 30 clients can generate up to 80% of your annual gross sales. Best of all, with no royalties, you’ll retain 100% of your profits!
We give you a protected territory consisting of a contiguous cluster of zip codes which contains up to 3,000 businesses. Signworld will not sell or set up another sign company within this area. However, you are free to sell your signs anywhere, even outside your protected territory which means this business is scalable from one location. Remember, via your website/internet presence, you can reach out across the country for customers.
Signworld’s Commercial Real Estate Broker will assist you in locating an optimal site. Our specialist will handle the lease negotiation of your final selection.
Next, we’ll help you choose a proven facility design, space layouts, production flow systems and furniture settings.
You decide on your own business name and logo. The final touches will also be yours, to decorate as you please. You are, after all, the Owner, but with the added benefit of Signworld’s 34+ years of experience to guide you along the way.
