Experienced Entrepreneur Chooses American Dream Second Time Around

An entrepreneur at heart, Lori Matthews wanted to incorporate her 20 years of business experience into a venture that allowed more time and opportunity to be a mom to her four young children. She started her career in 1979 selling printing, and ten years later opened her first of four Papyrus specialty greeting card stores. The franchise operations flourished, but the hours were long.

When Matthews began her search for a business that did not demand full weekend and evening commitments, she found the perfect complement to the demands of her retail shops: business to business signs. So she sold two of her four stationary stores, and began careful site selection and demographic analysis with Sign Biz Inc. for a location close to her home. 

All training, equipment, and business coaching services for new sign businesses are provided by Sign Biz Inc, founders of the 150-member Sign Biz Network. The Network computer-aided sign (CAS) companies are located throughout the US, and in six foreign markets. Sign Biz provides step-by-step guidance for the development of sign stores in their chain, and does not charge royalties nor franchise fees. Today, the twelve-year-old Sign Biz Network leads the industry with triple the percentage of million-dollar and half-million dollar operations over any other sign chain or franchise. 

Sign Language is Matthews' new American Dream and the newest sign business in Petaluma, CA, opened August 21st. The store is a division of Gear Inc, and a member of the Sign Biz Network. Her location at 16 East Washington St. in downtown Petaluma now boasts the only 54"-wide full color digital printer and signmaking system in the county. "Fantastic customer service is our goal. Sign Language offers more than a quality product. We offer complete graphic design services, state of the art visual impact systems, and extremely fast turnaround times. We know business and speak the language of signs, fluently!," says Matthews with a smile. For more information about Sign Language's products and services, call Lori Matthews at 707-762-6751.

For buyers looking for qualified assistance in the management and development of their sign programs, Sign Biz Network Members are preferred Sign Design Professionals.  These sign business owners are endorsed because as Network Members, they receive design instruction year-round. 

"We play a significant role in promoting the identities, products and events of Fortune 1000 companies across this country and abroad, and we take this responsibility very seriously. We’re really good because our client’s say so. And that is the only opinion that matters. That’s our bullseye, and we won’t take our eyes off the target." --Paul Strauch, VP Marketing, Sign Biz Inc.
