 I saw your sign on the side of the road - Really?


 

billboard ad contractor

 

I got a call from someone looking for a general contractor today; she said she saw my sign on the side of the road. The sign was in Sacramento; she couldn’t remember the street but in was in the Arden area. Funny, I don’t have any signs in Sacramento on any street.

If I were going to have a sign in Sacramento, maybe it would look like this.

I hope that I can help her with her situation, regardless of how she found me!

What fun!   Now, the whole world can see your billboard AND your superman sign.     Next time some one calls who has "seen your sign,"  you'll have successfully blended your blog with FREE road side sign advertising.

Very true!  A client told me they saw my face on a grocery cart (I never have advertised there).   Well, better that than the milk carton!    lol

Tom:

Next time we go to Tahoe I will look for your sign.  But really, don't you think it is a bit much.  And now I see you are even posing as Moses.  I guess if those signs get you more business they are worth it.  Your posts are always a treat to read.

Thanks Evelyn.

That's not me, that is Moses carrying the QR Code that he received on Mount Sinai. Uh... okay, maybe I made that part up.

Great to hear from you!

I would call you from that sign. Heck I would call without a sign. Cute way to advertise on AR! Good job!

I like the sign Tom, I don't mind when they call me from a sign... I also don't have one, yet... but that gives me an idea. M
