I haven't promoted this site much this winter or spring, indeed, It's been very hard to keep it up. Business has been very slow in this small town and unless I start travelling to the surrounding cities of Barrie, Newmarket where the distance is far and the competition is stiff, I will be doing other things - cabinetmaking, machine work. And I'd prefer not to travel because I'd rather be close to my kids.
The kids store decided after 4 designs that they were going to make the sign themselves on the cheap and good luck to them. Same with the optician ( 9 designs ). Same with the juice bar. (7 designs). I am a Fool for not getting a deposit sooner if only to cover my design time. I may be a very good sign maker/artist but rotten business guy, going to small business and expecting them to see value in having a proper sign. Mind you, most do, I just bad-lucked out on getting 3 bummers in a row.
The florist shop and the cabinetmaker are going ahead, both with good budgets and will get themselves attractive eye catching signs in the next week. Other than that, I don't know yet.
Meanwhile, I'm keeping this blog open because I put alot into it, especially the earlier posts October - November. Check them out !
