Before selecting a sign, be prepared to answer these questions:

"What does my local sign code allow?" "Who is my primary customer?" "How much am I willing to pay?"

We asked a panel of sign manufacturers, "In your experience, what sign types are used by small businesses?" These are what they identified. They chose based on what small business owners can usually afford, and how much space they usually have.
