In a market where branding is literally on the line, U.S. sign and banner shops pulled in an estimated $2.2 billion in 2024, marking a slight uptick amid shifting marketing budgets. At the same time, global digital signage—those bright screens in lobbies and storefronts—reached $20.1 billion in 2024, with robust growth projected through 2029. Winchester businesses rely on local experts to craft everything from grand opening banners to ADA-compliant wayfinding systems, and these three finalists set the standard for quality, creativity and service.
