Like most small businesses, a sign business’s vehicles are one of the best advertising opportunities going. Besides attracting customers, it showcases your design skills and is a great way to start a sales conversation.
Over the years we featured hundreds of shop trucks in SignCraft Magazine—great designs that show the incredible potential of a shop vehicle. Whether it is low-key and professional or loud and in-your-face, the potential of this advertising shouldn’t be overlooked. It’s a powerful way to create an image for your own business—just as we so often explain to our customers.
