It's a tough business, overheard to start is pretty minimal, lots of DIYers without the overhead of a storefront, and unit price is pretty cheap for the time invested. I often wonder how the sign shops manage to stay in business, I think it often comes down to a few marquee accounts that cover the baseline.
