SIGNARAMA

As companies compete more and more for consumers' attention, brand recognition and local advertising has become vitally important to businesses. Further, this need for customized messaging has catapulted the sign industry into more than a $49 billion market.

Participate in this explosive growth by joining SIGNARAMA, the largest sign franchisor in the world. With more than 800 stores worldwide, we have been successfully helping entrepreneurs launch full-service sign centers for nearly 25 years. Our vast experience and expertise delivers to you the training, consulting, equipment, and support necessary to run your successful SIGNARAMA store.

Site Selection Knowledge

The most important decision in opening your retail business is site selection. We carefully research all aspects of every new SIGNARAMA site, such as traffic patterns and client potential. After all criteria are met and a location has been selected, we assist you in the negotiation of your lease and the store build-out.

Once you feel comfortable with the site selection of your new store and all lease terms are finalized, you are then prepared for ownership and the start-up process.

Training: No prior experience needed

The SIGNARAMA training system is one of the most extensive training programs in the franchising industry and backed by 25 years of experience in signs, graphics, and banners. You will be a trained expert in sign-making and business operations and business promotion.

Your comprehensive SIGNARAMA training program includes the following:

• A 2-week introductory training program at SIGNARAMA University located at corporate headquarters in West Palm Beach, FL. Your travel and lodging expenses are included. You will learn all aspects of your sign business, marketing your products, advertising, scheduling and workflow, bookkeeping, pricing orders, and providing great customer service. You will also learn the practice of making signs, product knowledge, hiring and training your staff.
• A 1-week on-the-job (OJT) training session at an established SIGNARAMA store to apply your classroom training and gain hands-on experience.
• Additional 2 weeks of training in your store with one of our experienced operations advisors. They are there with you side by side with you during the store setup as well as to implement your marketing plan and grand opening.
