ALUMINUM SIGN INSTALLATION

This company whose signs are pictured below, brought the sign on the right hand side of each photo, which was made by another vendor into the shop recently. They had three issues. First was the fact that the other company couldn't duplicate their logo with the proper turkey that they used in all of their other advertising and they couldn't do it in color. The next issue was that the signs were beating themselves to pieces in the mounting hole locations when they would swing in the wind. They didn't even know they had a square corner issue. Never let an aluminum sign out of your shop with square corners. It is non conforming to code and is dangerous to people, especially children, who end up in close proximity to the sign and may run into it.

We showed them our method of reinforcing the hole for the mounting hooks with brass grommets and how we rounded all corners on aluminum. Next we ran down the proper turkey that they were using on their website. It turned out to be in the Corel Draw 8 clipart collection. We had to scan a copy of the chicken and retouch it to print and apply a vector cut outline.

Yes, this was a lot of work for just a dozen farm signs. But the client was so happy with the final outcome that they sent us two road tractors to letter. We are now working on several other projects for them also. By going the extra mile to give the client what they wanted and needed for this job we built a relationship of trust that has landed us the entire account. Repeat clients are much more important to me than any individual sale. Quick and easy gets you a check for that one job. Quality and service gets you an account that will bring you work for years.
