Dallas, Texas Feb 23, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - SpeedPro Addison, a leading large-format printing and custom signage studio in Dallas, Texas, has unveiled a practical guide for startups and small businesses to evaluate what their storefront communicates in just five seconds; the time it takes someone driving 40 mph down Belt Line Road to notice a business. The guide focuses on the importance of vinyl window lettering in shaping first impressions and increasing visibility.
This initiative addresses common issues like ineffective branding, low pedestrian or vehicle engagement, and inconsistent storefront messaging, helping business owners make their exterior signage a powerful marketing tool that captures attention instantly.
“I've owned a top-performing manufacturing business, Speed Pro Addison, for 18 years. Over that time, I've learned a great deal about leadership, management, profitability, sales, team-building, and culture. Most, importantly, I've grown in my role as an owner,” said Matt Polster, owner of SpeedPro Addison. “Delivering streamlined, yet custom, event branding and office environment solutions, with personalized service and attentiveness.”
