AFrom Peter Beenen VP Business Development, signsearch, Inc.

Brian, I see that you are a customer of ours, so you already know that engaging with a vertical industry search engine like signsearch (www.signsearch.com) is an extremely effective and relatively inexpensive way to reach new customers. In fact, Rob Praemessing from Talley-Anchor Sign Company who responded to your question earlier in this blog is also a customer listed on http://www.signsearch.com. To help you gain MORE new customers, you may want to consider expanded advertising on our site. This will certainly increase the number of potential sign buyers and new customers that engage with you.
