Keeping the Sign Industry Informed

Upholding its tradition as the sign industry’s leading resource since its founding in 1906, Signs of the Times is keeping the signage, graphics and visual communications industry as accurately informed as possible during the COVID-19 crisis through our print, online, social media, video and audio channels.

We are constantly updating articles online on sign product accessibility, signshop/sign company availability, and tradeshow and convention cancellations and postponements. In the upcoming May issue, we will go in-depth on how COVID-19 has affected sign companies; how manufacturers, suppliers and distributors have altered their operations to aid the healthcare industry; and how the industry can eventually recover.

We’ve also launched “Sign Strong,” a twice-weekly, free, subscription-based newsletter that includes need-to-know business info, quotes from sign folks and a meme or two to lighten the mood. Know that you can count on Signs of the Times as your industry resource in these challenging times.
