Business Overview
Magnetic signs are an incredibly handyadvertising tool, especially for the business owner or sales personthat uses their automobile for both business and pleasure, as the signscan be quickly installed or removed for storage in the trunk. Magneticsigns are also very easy to design and produce, making this an idealbusiness venture for just about anyone seeking to start a homebasedbusiness enterprise that requires little in the way of start-up capitaland experience.
The signs are actually manufactured from a vinylmaterial with a magnetic backing, which enables the signs to belightweight and pliable. The signs are simply cut to size and shape,and vinyl letters are placed on them to finish the sign making process.
The only equipment required for manufacturing the signs is a computer,page layout and design software, a vinyl printer, and a plotter thatcuts the letters. Required equipment can be purchased used or new inmost communities through printing and sign supply companies. Currently,small to medium magnetic signs are retailing for $30 to $60 each andcost about $8 to $12 each to make.
