Years ago, Brian Schofield and Karin Levin decided they wanted to avoid one of the pitfalls that plagues many sign businesses: Failure to get a deposit before starting a job. Without a deposit for the design phase, the customer may take the drawing that you gave (or emailed) them to other sign shops and get prices on producing the design they “got for free.”

Without a deposit for the production phase, you’ll have to buy materials out of your pocket, tying up your own money for a job that you may not receive the payment for until next month. Read how Brian and Karin avoid these costly problems in “Every job begins with a deposit” and see more of their high-impact signage.
