Why Blog ?

Well here I am again ... a sign guy mindlessly blogging. Why does a sign guy need to blog ? I do ask myself that question ! They tell me that every good business must have a blog, but that is my line ! It used to read ... every good business has a SIGN ! Clearly, in this new era of increased technology, it is a true "sign" of the times ... so to speak. Many traditional medias are going by the wayside as we speed through the internet highway. Searching online for products and services, social media websites ... it is just the way things are going whether we like it or not. Does anyone actually read this stuff !? Just curious ... but at least I guess I am getting information out there that may find somebody ! Or, if not anything else, these blogs can give you some insight into me, the person. Sharing some of my ideals and opinions may just give you a better feeling about doing business with me. Well, I sure hope so ... or I just shoot myself in the foot ! What can you do ... well ... BLOG ! I do believe that blogging about political issues, sports and such can be very engaging. Those topics continually have issues that demand discussion, but the sign industry ? Hmmmmm ... I wonder !? Nonetheless, here I am ... wiley ole sign guy ... blogging. At the end of the day, just remember this ...

Signs of the Times

Okay ... I guess I will write about signs this time, for I AM a sign shop ! This time of year, fishing is on my brain a lot, too ! To get back to the topic of signs, what can I say ! The last 12 months has been real tough on all of us. Regardless of the continuing support and loyalty of my customers ... regardless to the high level of quality and service we put out ... it is still a struggle. Customers are happier than ever and we continue to grow and improve our products, but people are just not spending. The competitive business spirit is alive and well in these times, so you really need to place yourself ahead of the others to survive. One way to improve your image and promote your products is through signage. From POP displays to temporary sale banners. From vehicle lettering to the sign on your building. What does your sign say about you ? Many people do not realize the importance of first impressions, a place where customers can be won or lost. Or what if you don't have a sign at all ? Like they say in this industry ... a sign with no business is a sign of NO business. Bad signs insinuate a bad product coming from within. Even a nice sign that has been neglected and weathered can reflect negatively on a business if not attended to. In a climate where we are looking for all the business we can get ... why would you drive around all day, all around town wasting gas without advertising YOUR message ... YOUR company !? Typically, you pay for signs one time and get many years of loyal service, unlike your employees. Signs don't call in sick or take holidays and they work for you 24/7 - 365 days a year ! If you call us now as a new customer you can even receive additional discounts on your order ! We are happy to give you a cost free estimate and survey your site for suitability and make recommendations for your project.
