Population in your area?

[Graphics2u]

Just wondering how many here live in similar population areas.

I know some here don't feel that where you live should determine your pricing structure but I do and just wondered where the majority of Signs 101 members are living?

The town my shop is in is about 7,000 pop. with the closest city of substantial size is 30 miles away.

My general area has 85,000+ with around 15 known local sign shops serving that area. My work is a little specialized that the area will not support me, though I have been trying to get the design for a large mall signage system coming up in the next 5 years, but so far no bites

Here are our stats:

If only i had a crystal ball to figure out what city u are talkin about........

 

[Kerrylim]

I figure the area population for my other business to be in excess of 3,000,000. For the sign business, I'm looking at closer to 750,000. Countless other sign companies, but only a few do awnings (whew!)

 

[D&Tgraphics]

the city my shop is in has about 30,000 people. But the area I service has about 220,000 people. There are only about 4 other real shops in this area but non that offer all the other services like we do. That helps alot with drawing in the customers to us.

 

[Replicator]

3 cities and about 50,000 or so people . . . !

 

[Baz]

My city and surrounding areas are about 1 million ... To many sign shops to list and even more basement shops. Its tough competition but everyone seems to be regularly busy.

 

[Ken]

IMpressive stats TVG..

But their was no mention of business operating in that locale. Gator country..
Do you also have that kind of info? Do the stats come from state or federal agencies?
Cheers!
Ken

[Craig Sjoquist]

well here in Orlando 10 shops easy within 5 miles proably 3 miles
lots of business buildings
a goverment that hates signage
unless for goverment
low wages due to illeagles and to many people
so population does increase odds but also for everybody else

fonts alive

My home is in an metro area comprised of several cities, and sprawls an area about 100 miles long and 20-30 miles wide with little to no open land between.
