SPACE ODYSSEY. 5,000 sq. ft. divides our respondents roughly in half: 50% have less space, 49% have more. Is that remaining 1% mindspace?
FULL HOUSE. Essentially as many full-service sign company respondents are located in big urban markets (28) as in medium-sized cities (27) and small cities (29).
MORE OR LESS. Full-service participants are up by 8% compared to last year’s Big Survey, while franchises are down from 8% to 4%.
SALUTE A CENT’ANNI. Check out the March issue for 11 sign companies that have already reached 100 years in business. (See St, March 2023, page 24.)
MO’ MONEY, NO PROBLEM. Our sign companies report making more money in 2022 than in 2021, bumping about 4% up each category at and above $100K. Nicely done!
