<DIV> <DIV class="messageinfo separator"><FONT size=2>Hi Cy,</FONT></DIV> <DIV class="messageinfo separator">I have vinyl lettering with my phone number on the back side windows of my Camry wagon. I've had people call while I'm on the freeway, but have only gotten a couple of new clients from this type of advertising. Customer referrals work better for me.</DIV> <DIV class="messageinfo separator"> </DIV> <DIV class="messageinfo separator">I like having the lettering on the car when I drive up to a new customer's home, though.. It tells who I am, and that I'm confident enough that I advertise publicly. I've been warned that someone will break in and steal my tools, but it hasn't happened yet (knock on wood).</DIV> <DIV class="messageinfo separator"> </DIV> <DIV class="messageinfo separator">Looking in the new directory, it looks like some of those techs that work for the dealer need to join the PTG! Anyone know who services the pianos at WV Wesleyan in Buckhannon? I'm going to be there next week for a conference.</DIV> <DIV class="messageinfo separator"> </DIV> <DIV class="messageinfo separator">Dave Davis</DIV> <DIV class="messageinfo separator">Renton, WA</DIV> <DIV class="messageinfo separator"> </DIV> <DIV class="messageinfo separator">p.s.
