Time and changes

Wow! Has it really been that long since I posted? Well of course, Google wouldn't lie...

The last month has been really busy! My main supplier closed their warehouse here in town and moved it a convenient 2 hours away by combining it with a SMALLER facility in another state. Oh and they fired all but one of the local employees.

I found this out when I wanted to place an order and the person answering the phone filled me in on the situation. To make things even easier and more convenient for their customers they no longer carry many of the materials I often use. The name of this wonderfully managed company was Vinyl Sign Supply who has been acquired by Sign Supply USA.

If you use them and are having problems getting things you need I recommend that you call Pioneer in Pittsburgh. Rob usually answers the phone when I call and has always been helpful. Although they don't stock some of the brands I was used to using he was able to recommend alternates that have proven to be as good and in some cases superior products! Thanks, Rob!

Enough discussion about problems. We have been very busy with new projects over the last several weeks and will be finishing and installing several new signs in the area. I'll post pictures when we have them completed.

Since it is supposed to rain today I'll work inside preparing the site of one of our larger projects for installation on Monday.

I better get to work!

Remember,

The sign for your business is your 24 hour sales rep. New customers receive their first impressions from its appearance and what it says to them.
