The winter months present unique challenges for small businesses. The weather becomes colder, which limits the amount of foot traffic passing outside.

If you run a business, it is important that your signage changes with the season. For instance, restaurant owners don’t need a sign advertising patio seating when it is 20 degrees outside. Conversely, that same restaurant may want to put out a sign advertising hot soups and holiday meals.
