I don’t wanna ruffle too many feathers but…
isn’t it time that we, as alleged signmakers and guardians of the nation’s sticky-backed plastic, stopped sticking vacuous dull ginger garbage like the following on our unsuspecting customer’s vehicles etc.
For example:
1 For ALL your (whatever) needs.
2 Your One-Stop (whatever) Shop
3 Specialists in ALL types of (whatever)
4 Creative (whatever) Solutions
5 You’ve tried the rest, now….(Yaaaawn)
6 Um
7 That’s enough for nowWe’d all be better for it if we could…

If my client requests any of the ‘mantra’ you mention, they can have it.
We of course point out that everybody has the same,but it has little / no effect.
Thay are after all unique,……..like everyone of us!!!!!!

What a name! HAHA
How’s your head?
I put it on if the customer wants it.
What I have a problem with is:*CALL
*PHONE
*TEL. (or any abbreviation)by the darn phone number.
To me, it is redundant. I ain’t that dumb!
If I see a phone number, I know to call it! DUH!
Also more than 1 number bugs me.

My pet hate is companies that include either “Logistics” or “Solutions” as part of their business names. 😛
A few years ago the craze was to have “Millenium” as part of the business name – I bet they feel a bit stupid now though 😕
I must check companies house records and see if there is a company called Millenium logistic solutions Ltd. (Bet there is 😉 )
-
Just checked – there’s a company called “logistic solutions ltd” 😆 . And hundreds of companies (most of which dissolved 😉 beggining with the name “Millenium” 😆 😆
-
Even worse if they only spelt it with one ‘n’
-
There’s loads of “Millenium” companies spelt with one “N” 😆
When I tried looking for Millennium Logistic Solutions (Using the proper spelling) I found “Millennium Logistics” and “Millennium Solutions” but the elusive “Millenium Logistic Solutions” doesn’t exist (yet)..Maybe I should register it for myself given that I’m so obsessed by it all 😕 😳
-
Best to register that name quick. Beat the rush in 2999.
You could have “Your One-Stop Millenium Logistic Solutions Shop for All your Millenium Logistic Solutions-age needs. Specialists in ALL types of Millenium Logistic Solutions” all over your company vehicle……..Great….

Jill,
I put your “Tel” argument to one of my customers this morning and asked him if the thought his clients were so dumb that they wouldn’t realise that it was a telephone number.
His one word answer was “YES”
😀

I don’t know about you but my life is too short to have people phone me who don’t know their local telephone code.
If you live in Gloucester, if you don’t know the code is 01452, and can’t recognise a group of numbers beginning with 01 and looking something like this 01452 789789, then don’t call us, we’ll call you. And don’t vote or drive a car but check yourself in to the nearest home for the bewildered.
Top Tip: If you feel tired while driving, DO NOT stop, put on your pyjamas and slippers, grab a pillow, a teddy bear, and a mug of horlicks, tune in Lullaby 101.5 FM (or similar) and then continue driving…
Hmmmmmmmm

Hi johnchilds!
Any chance your client was from Butler?
HOME OF SUMMER TEETH
(some are missing, some are brown, etc. etc.)
You know, two years ago the area code thing bit me in the butt.
Not only am I opposed to “Call” “Phone”, & “Tel.”,
but I also used to talk folks out of adding the area code.
(I thought “Any idiot knows if ya see 625 it’s Mars”)
Then the blasted phone company made a new rule
that you HAVE to dial the entire area code & number with every call.
This is because of the fools driving with a cell phone in one hand
and the steering wheel (or super-sized Mickey D’s fries) in the other.
I did make a bit of $$ adding the area codes to old signs tho…
Love- JILL (:) 🙄 -
Hi Jill (cool picture is it you?)
What do you think about the redundant “www” at the start of (almost) every web address.
I reckon we should make signs in short hand – it would save on vinyl costs AND weeding time.What about “01745 812448 SIGNS” for a company name – learn the company name and you’ve already got the phone number stored.
