I asked our sales staff the following question. “If a friend of yours was starting a new business what graphics and signage would you tell him or her to consider?” Several of the team said it would depend on the type of company. What they would specify might depend on whether it was a brick and mortar retail store, manufacturing, or service such as a contractor. But all agreed on a general checklist for new businesses.
