Several people have emailed me saying they were having trouble finding the post I put up Saturday to add to the discussion about my book.
In response to that I am repeating the post here (with the blessing of Steve and Barb)to make it easier to find and continue the discussion.
Thanks,
Chip
At present I am only selling copies of my book by email request. I have lowered the price of the book to 27.00 USD until I am finished with writing and producing a revised edition. When the revised edition comes out, it will be at the original amount. (I put USD because people have purchased my book from every continent on the planet with the exception of Antarctica).
If you want a copy of the present book just contact me at chip@islanddesignscreative.com and put Book in the subject line. I will email you a copy of the book and include a mailing address of where you can send a check by mail. It's sort of the honor system.
In fact if you order a copy of the present book now at the reduced rate of 27.00 USD and then respond to the announcement of the release of the revised book on this site, I will send you a copy of the revised one for only 10.00 more. That will be 10.00 less than full price for the revised edition and you get both editions. How's that for a deal?
At Sign consultants we are presently doing more one on one consulting for both sign companies and sign buyers. Some of what we are doing is putting sign buyers in touch with the right sign company and in other cases we are assisting sign companies in marketing their services to get the customers they want. If you want more information on this service just contact me at chip@islanddesignscreative.com and put SELL MORE SIGNS in the subject line. I am also revamping the Sign Consultants website to have more information about our expanded services. This will be up before too long.
Over the last two years I have been setting up my sign company, Island Designs Signs, to run almost completely without me. I have now reached that point. Island Designs Signs has one full time employee, a part time book keeper and a part time marketing person. Last year it grossed 285k with a net profit of over 100k. It can be done! And when I go to sell it the new owners will not be concerned about needing me around.
Three years ago I started another division of my company, Island Designs Creative. It is an advertising, marketing and PR agency. This and doing sign consulting is where I spend much of my work time though I still don't work more than a 40 hour week. Within the next month we will be shifting Creative from a start up level to the next level. This is something the whole group is really excited about.
In summation, no, we are not dead, just busy and having a great time. We will be letting everyone know when we are done with the revised book and the new website through Steve and Barb here on the Letterville BB as well as some advertising on the Letterville site. In the meantime email me and get a great deal on both the present book and the revised edition.
