This product is a staple of the personalized home decor market with consistently high demand. Create designs in multiple styles: rustic farmhouse, modern minimalist, boho, and traditional. Offer different materials: wood (using a laser cutter or partnering with a wood shop), acrylic, and metal. Sell on Etsy where 'family name sign' is one of the top searched personalized gift terms. Price signs at $40-90 depending on size and material, with production costs of $10-25. The wedding and housewarming gift markets are your two biggest customer acquisition channels.
