Dana Point, CA - Sign Biz International is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year with a robust list of industry partners. Founder of the largest non-franchise sign chain in the US, Sign Biz, Inc., again produced a fresh, innovative and relevant program for business owners and their staff at their annual Sign Biz International Convention, dubbed "the Reunion." At this year's event in Las Vegas in April, the Corporation fed the minds of its 100 attendees with 45 educational events, including three packed General Sessions on topics near and dear to an entrepreneur's heart during these unusual economic times. The Session entitled, "PROFIT ENHANCEMENT - Back of the House- Controlling Costs!" was no exception.
Featuring John Stevens, VP Strategic Accounts of Proveer (formerly Sign Supply USA), this session gave attendees the keys to gaining dollars at the bottom line. The information was developed to get "Cost of Goods Sold" under control and to make every business even more profitable. "We discovered innovative efficiencies that we can use today to reduce expenses and expand profits," explains Peter Wolf, one of the session panelists, and a Milestone Club Member of the Network. Daniel Gardynski, of Green Sponsor, Hewlett-Packard, discussed how to take control of workflow with a proven game plan. The fourth panelist and Sign Biz Network Member, Bill Potts, shared strategies for cutting payroll costs, and how to properly handle employees.
Acknowledging the contributions of Sponsors of the Reunion education program is a long-standing tradition. This year, Teresa M. Young, President and CEO of the 20-year-old company, honored John Stevens of Proveer as a Gold Sponsor for the first time. The company, formerly known as Sign Supply USA, has appeared at the Sign Biz Reunions in the past.
"We are thrilled to be part of an industry initiative that builds strong businesses - the Sign Biz Network Reunion events," explains Stevens. "The quality of these packed educational programs is just one of the reasons why we support Sign Biz and the network of digital sign companies. We know we have a strong partner in the Sign Biz leadership, and can provide meaningful services to the entrepreneurs in their chain."
"It is truly a pleasure to work with strong companies like Proveer, who understand the needs of the digital sign shop," says Young. "They have stepped up to the plate, and everyone recognizes how significant that is in these harsh economic times. We know that both our Sponsors and our Members will benefit for years to come."
