Hundreds of companies in the sign, graphics and visual communications industry responded to this year’s survey about the current state of the industry, answering important questions like:

• How has your business performed, and how do you expect it to perform?

• Will you hire new workers? Add new equipment?

• What keeps you up at night?

The 2018 Pulse of the Sign, Graphics and Visual Communications Industry analyzes these survey responses to help you guide business decisions.

As in previous years, survey respondents shared that their businesses continue to grow—actively investing in new equipment and looking to hire new employees.

And, this year’s respondents continue to face a pinch when it comes to finding skilled employees to fill open positions.
