And guess what???? 13 new Sign Shops have opened in the area since the last new phone book came out in August (we have 2 books, I don't advertise in either). I also noticed a couple are no longer there. A good portion of the new guys have taken out quite large ads, you would think that they would wonder whay so few other sign shops don't do this??? Maybe because the phone book doesn't work??? (my opinion anyway)

I checked the St Louis phonebook for sign suppliers and guess what I found?
300 sign shops.
2 Sign Suppliers, one of which only supplies neon equipment.
Hmmm...

Here we have a population of spprox. 300,000 people. All signs shops included (vinyl, hand lettering, illuminated) we have 105 shops. This doesn't include the screen printers who are not listed in the signs section. We have 2 sign suppliers, both who carry vinyl etc.. One sells lighted sign supplies also, the other, slik screening supplies. I have 11 shops that are within about a 2 mile radius.
