Business Model

SIGNWAVE® has a proven sales and marketing model operating in a ready-made and expanding market. Franchisees benefit from many years of research and development, allowing them to grow their business with comparative ease.

Our co-operative marketing fund provides a cohesive and cost effective strategy, which translates to success with minimal time and expenditure to our franchisee.

SIGNWAVE® is a high margin business and that's simply because we sell customised products. Traditionally, we have a very low cost of goods - from a profit and loss point of view, that gives us an incredibly good base to build profit.

Future Plans

SIGNWAVE® are aiming for consistent growth with four to five new franchisees per year, over a sustained period. We are not about putting numbers in for numbers sake. We have a focus on franchisee selection, that requires diligence in both the criteria and people who wish to become involved with the SIGNWAVE® brand. Apart from the obvious requirement to keep our brand strong and a duty of care to protect our existing franchisee's investment, we need to ensure that new franchisees have the best chance of success.

Testimonials

The sign and graphics industry is so fast moving and deadline orientated, there is little time to focus on marketing, systems and training. SIGNWAVE®'s marketing methods and systems are completely state of the art. The POS program tracks sales, plans production dates, times, deadlines, proofing and estimating. The support and training is second to none. Upon putting the SIGNWAVE® branding to the face of our building, suppliers were coming to us offering reduced costs for media etc due to the brand recognition. It's is great to have the support of a large group for supplies, machinery, training and advice.
