The front of your business is your face to the world. And, the way your shop looks sends a message to your potential customers. Customers may only give your store a glance before deciding if they'll come in or keep going. A cheery, well-maintained, clearly-signed store says "Welcome! Come on in!" A faded sign, peeling paint, a jumble of signs and products in the window may make a customer hesitate for a moment, or just keep walking.
