Doing It Wrong!!!

Well, I did put up signs all right and it did take me 10 hours to get 70 up (I was so tired when I got in last night or was that this morning.....I may have posted that I put all 100 up.....it was only 70).

Why doing it wrong "Title"?

I just reviewed my Edge 2011 material; where bandit signs were reviewed and....yes, I knew yellow signs with hand written receives twice as many responses....

and then Matt said, "Don't deviate from this verbiage.....its proven to generate the most calls".....

So, now I had to put out twice as many signs than recommended to make-up for color and then for verbiage then.......this is the bad part.....I hope none of the DG team won't be reading this next section...but.....

I wanted to save money and time and had those 100 signs pre-printed........oh mannnn again.....Don't tell..... shhhhhhh shhhhhhh shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Well, the only thing I did right was (besides putting-up bandit signs) was that I strategically placed them in my hot pockets....and other advertisers weren't there.

I did see where the other investors were doing it wrong.

I also have mixed emotions on wire stakes....for the most part, they were awesome but there were places that the ground was so hard I broke many trying to find a place to stick them (wishing I had an old fashioned Greg Murphy tomato stake

Hats off to Mr. Murphy

So...I'll have a few of those next time. The only thing is that you need to use a hammer not a rubber mallet to post tomato stakes or you'll take 4 hours for 20 signs like I did on my first weekend (part of that time was figuring out where to park to get to certain corners).

The second week only took me just over 2 hours to post in the same places....and I posted my signs where code enforcement don't seem to pick them-up....I have more tips now.

I can't wait to get the right signs-up in my next target area.

Thanks to all of you delivering quality info.
