Yard-signs: a Cleaned by Pete employee
Working hard to get the right sign before getting them printed. I like that employe that keeps working hard and gets
paid very little. That describes the humble yard sign. I need to investment in some new yard signs the sun and weather are taking a toll on the old signs.
Also as times change so does or views and the signs are looking dated. While working a couple of weeks ago for one of our regular customers,
that we concrete clean and house wash for, they deal with buy and selling homes, an idea hit me.
Seeing their sign I started to come up with this idea for a new yard
sign using their sign as a guideline for my new sign. This is their
sign:
Yard-signs seem to be a great employee for me. I use them while on
jobs that I'm doing, then I can leave them there to keep working. The older
signs are starting to show some ware. Time to hire some new employees to
stand proud and promote what I do. Working 24/7 in all types of weather
what more can you ask for? These are some signs I've used over the
years, some are better than others but most have brought me some good returns.

But now for the new crop of employees this is the interview period I
would guess. Seeing what one will be the best fit and will work for us
in the future. Which one has the most promise for the company.
Playing around and working on getting the yard signs ready for
printing. As always I have do make a bunch of different formats and get
the ideas down in the computer. Then get the idea of what makes the best
look and what everyone likes. Then tweak them around a bit. So here are
the profs for the signs so far.

Why did I base my sign on one of my customers signs? Well I have seen
this sign in and around town and it always attracts attention and is
very visible. Using the yellow color as the background, with standard
black lettering I thought we'll see what it can do for Cleaned by Pete.
Keeping it simple has been my advertising agenda for years.
In any case a sign is a reflection of your company and says alot about you. You have to temper looks and messages with what you're trying to get across to prospective customers. That is what I'm trying to do. I find it relaxing and like to do things myself I know my company and area and feel I can capture and relay the message. Not brain surgery here just letting others know we did a job and can do yours. If you don't have or use this silent employee you may want to give it some consideration.
