Somebody has a very long arm in the sign industry.........These people are out of Sarasota ( Joe's backyard ) and, still, they have their work all over the map, including most of the islands in The Caribbean.
there was a christian communal community that was selling internationally and making some very nice pieces and I think they were down under. Haven't heard about them in some years now. Called something like Dansonia? Anyone see there stuff anymore?

Rick,
It's Danthonia out of Australia. They have a really great website... very interactive.

I dunno... to me it looks like all their stuff is cookie-cutter pre-fab.
Posted by Ricardo Davila (Member # 3854) on :
Hey, Marty....It may be cookie-cutter ( I agree with you ), but my point is that their website is showing everywhere I travel in the internet.... that website is very effective....It even pops up in other sign shops websites.....Outstanding !
I would like to know how they have accomplished that......But, then, I am not too internet savvy.

P.S. --- Rick, here is the website of the Australian sign company:
I'm personally very familiar with this group.....quite an interesting situation.....
BTW, everything they do is hand carved.....no CNC's
Joe,
Makin Chip$ and Havin Fun!

I imagine they paid Google Ads so they will be every where for a while. They show up on a couple of my domains that are idle, I may have to put up a page so it directs to me rather than being an inactive page that others ads show up in.

What they pay Google for is the tech that follows anyone who browses their site. Thanx Davila... Jer?Artworx

The Danthonia folk have certainly raised the bar for signage in Australia.

What was that you were saying, Dave?
Posted by David O'Hanlon (Member # 2754) on :
Exactly that Ian. Having driven up and down the New England for the last 25 years or so, I've seen a steady rennaisnace in the quality of the signage along the entire route, starting with the saddlery in Glen Innes. Not saying that You, Paul or anyone else don't strive to make exceptional signs, but the surely the success of Danthonia has made it easier for you to sell signs with gold on them.
Posted by Ian Stewart-Koster (Member # 3500) on :
Dave, it is wonderful to see Danthonia setting a new standard as such. It is terrific for the industry. I also don't mind it because we get asked "Can you do 'those' sort of signs?" Of course we can - and for the same price, too! Posted by Kelly Thorson (Member # 2958) on :

Yeah, now that I clicked on their site the ad is showing up absolutely everywhere. I'm starting to really hate this information mining.
