Here is my personal $0.02 worth of observation, based on personal experience:</div> <div> </div> <div>1. Unless you work and park in very sleazy areas, quit obsessing about the potential problems of theft, etc., or join the Worrywarts Club.</div> <div>2. Forget magnetic signs or "in the window" signs. They look cheap, they are cheap, they say "CHEAP".</div> <div>3. If it is primarily your business vehicle, go to a quality sign shop and and have professional vinyl lettering on both sides and the back. It looks good, it's kinda cheap (maybe $2-300), and it says "DEDICATED, FULL-TIME PROFESSIONAL". You will FEEL more professional, just having it. People will compliment the look. People will call you.</div> <div>4. It will bring you business and pay for itself almost immediately.</div> <div> </div> <div>I do business from a small pick-up (Ford Ranger); the tailgate is great ad space. I have gotten phone calls from people who tell me they are right behind me on the highway or at a traffic signal, etc.</div> <div><br/>Alan Barnard<br/>Salem, MO<br/><br/></div> <div style="padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px; border-left: #000000 3px solid; padding-top: 5px"> <hr/>Original message<br/>From: "Matthew Todd" <toddpianoworks@yahoo.com> </toddpianoworks@yahoo.com><br/>To: pianotech@ptg.org<br/>Received: 3/5/2008 12:21:52 PM<br/>Subject: Car Signs (Pros/Cons)<br/><br/> <div align="left">Greetings list,</div> <div> </div> <div>I have been shopping around for a magnetic sign to place on each side of my car.  What has been your experiences with this method?  I prefer magnetic so I can take it off when my car is sitting for a period of time so no one will see that I have tools to steal.  But then, if I got into an accident, would having the sign be more liability for me?  Or am I just worrying too much.</div> <div> </div> <div>I also would like to know if your business has increased because of the signs.</div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div>Thank you,</div> <div>Matthew</div> <div> </div> <hr size="1"/>Looking for last minute shopping deals? <a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=51734/*http://tools.search.yahoo.com/newsearch/category.php?category=shopping">Find them fast with Yahoo!
