One of the ways you can add to your bottom line without raising your prices is to boost your efficiency. It’s the old “Work smarter, not harder” approach, and it still works as well as ever. The right tools make this possible by shaving time off every aspect of sign design and production. It’s nice to have the tools, materials and software that make life easier, but the reality is that they make you money by letting you be more productive. You’ll get more work done in less time. You can invest the time that they save you in turning out more work, selling signs and marketing your work. And there’s nothing wrong with making life a little easier in the process.
