You have worked your way high enough up the totem pole to be in charge of your first solo purchasing project—buying name inserts for new employees. What a rush, right?! There’s just one issue.

As the new year rolls around, many of us have developed resolutions for ourselves. In addition to cutting candy consumption out of my 2016, I resolved that I would work my hardest to provide my Office Sign Company blog readers with thought-provoking posts (that’s how much I care about you).

Likewise, many businesses have a hard time parting with their current office design. In addition to the…
What is wayfinding?!

Although you are familiar with the term, it’s doubtful that you have taken the time to research exactly…
Operating as a sign company in the center of downtown Fargo, our office space is a virtual showroom—a walk-through catalog of the various signage solutions we have to offer. To be a sign manufacturer, you have to have some pretty awesome signage in your headquarter building – right? If you walk through 310 NP Avenue,…
When I first started at Office Sign Company, I had no idea how many varieties of signs existed. Silly as it may sound, you really don’t start noticing signs until you’re working for a company that sells them. One of the sign variations that enticed me the most was our “Illuminated Sign.” The concept behind…
