A characterful new brand brought to the high street, with a print partner behind every step.
Mo’s Music is a new musical instrument retailer in Dunfermline, specialising in pre-owned and collectable gear. The business is built around Mo, a fictional Victorian explorer and time traveller, a backstory that gives the shop a distinctive, characterful brand running through everything from the store design to the merchandise.
Founded by Alex and a business partner, both with a long background in musical instrument retail, the company sells online and from a destination store with parking on site. After trading online since the start of the year, the team opened the physical shop and needed to drive footfall and make its presence known.
The Challenge - A distinctive new brand needed shopfront signage that did it justice from day one, made to size and ready to fit.
The Solution - Made-to-measure signage produced by us, colour-matched to the brand and delivered ready to install.
The Result - A standout shopfront fitted by the owners, and the start of a wider print partnership across signage and merchandise.
A shopfront is the first thing customers see, and for a brand with as much personality as Mo’s Music it had to land. The owners wanted signage that matched the quality of the brand exactly, made to the right size and ready to fit on their own schedule.
For a young, hands-on business, that meant finding a print partner who could deliver trade-quality work, get the detail right first time, and stay easy to deal with as the brand expanded into new products.
Mo’s Music turned to us for their exterior signage. We produced it made-to-measure, colour-matched to the brand, and delivered it ready to install, so the owners could fit it themselves at the moment that suited them.
That gave the team exactly what an independent retailer needs early on: a quality product, accurate to size, with a straightforward process and a single print partner to return to as the brand develops. As Mo’s Music grows, we can support the whole range, from signage through to branded merchandise, all from one place.

“The signage is the first thing people see, and it sets the tone for the whole shop. Tradeprint gave us exactly what the brand needed, made to size and ready to put up ourselves. It has been the right partner to start with, and we will keep using them as we grow.” Alex, Co-founder, Mo’s Music |
Mo’s Music now has a shopfront that matches the ambition of the brand, fitted by the owners and ready for the high street. It is the kind of first impression that turns a passing glance into a visit.
With the signage in place, the team is already planning the next stage: branded merchandise, including t-shirts, tote bags, mugs, and flyers to build recognition further. It is the start of a growing partnership and a good example of how we can support independent retailers, giving them quality print across signage and merchandise and one reliable partner to grow with.
