Signs Now industrial studio look remodeling "not your traditional sign shop"
SARASOTA, Fla. April 25, 2007 — Since the re-launch of a new lobby and shop design in 2006, Signs Now, A Division of Allegra Network LLC, has continued to impress both franchisees and clients with the updated promotion of their Industrial Studio remodeling program.
A primary focus of Industrial Studio look is the use of custom-designed lobby fixtures, including a freestanding merchandising resource center. It incorporates hinging panels or "pages" similar to a poster rack. The display is designed to fit along a lobby wall and includes panels on helpful hints, features, benefits statements on specific products and removable product samples.
Terry Huber, vice president of operations for Signs Now, feels the Industrial Studio remodel gives franchisees the advantage of differentiating their stores from the competition.
"A customer’s decision-making in selecting a service is a direct result of how comfortable they feel while doing business with you," said Huber. "One way we can enhance this experience is to create a strong and unique identity with a remodeled show room. It gives our franchisees a powerful foundation from which to build a better business."
David Popke, owner of the new Signs Now Tucson franchise, is one of the many franchisees to adopt the Industrial Studio design. Since his opening in 2006, Popke has already received positive comments from his clientele regarding the professional and contemporary design and quality of his shop.
"The Signs Now Industrial Studio design was the best choice for the opening of our store," remarked Popke. "My clients say they appreciate working with professional businesses like Signs Now."
In addition to the renewed adoption of the Industrial Studio remodeling program within the network, Signs Now finished 2006 with the highest sales and franchise development increases in over ten years and is in position to break that mark for 2007. The company gained 20 new franchisees with a 15 percent sales and store increase throughout the company.
