<p>I serve my clients best by doing a consultation, either by phone or in person. During the time we spend together, I deliver real knowledge and value to you, tangible information that comes from the U.S Small Business Administration and Chamber of Commerce. If you just put just one of my ideas into effect, expect the result to pay for itself many times over.</p>
<p>I will assess the ‘real value’ of your location in a way you have probably never considered before. I help you identify ‘image-killers’ and show you how to eliminate them. Next, I will share my On-Site Marketing System, and educate you on the full power of the philosophy, techniques and message-creation concepts I use for the system. When we are finished, I will make a recommendation for a marketing display system which is perfectly sized and designed – with a message strategy aimed at helping you get more attention.</p>
<p>A half hour of your time will get you a no-obligation education about how to capitalize on potential visibility opportunities which you are almost certainly missing out on right now.</p>
<p>In order to provide you with the fastest, most accurate information I can, I have put together a short questionnaire you can fill out and email to me. This information will give me a ‘jump-start’ on your location with you. I will never share any of your information with a 3rd party. This is strictly to enable me to serve you better.</p>
<p>If you rather not email this information and would prefer to give it to me by phone, you can call me at 607-227-0465</p>
<p>During my consultation, I will be giving you – A Small Business Special Report: The Secret That Can Increase Your Cash Flow and Explode Your Profits. This report alone can educate you about marketing, by making sure that whenever your local people think of the kind of business you’re in, they think of YOU.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="heading  heading_size_medium heading_center heading_red ">The Power of Effective Signage</div>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>If you are a small business owner struggling to make money in today&#8217;s challenging environment, acting on this knowledge could be the best move you have ever made for your business</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>.</strong></span></p>
<p>One of the most respected marketers today, <a href="http://onsitead.781226.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=AP2608" target="_blank">Jay Abraham</a>, observed that, &#8220;Every business, first and foremost, <em>is in the  business of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">marketing</span> their business</em>.&#8221; No matter what your business is &#8211; a retail store, a restaurant, professional office, if you want people to know about you &#8211; you gotta tell &#8216;em!</p>
<p>You spend big money every month to have your business in front of all the traffic passing your location  every day. If you don&#8217;t find a way to get that traffic pulling into your parking lot and becoming  customers, you are throwing away a ton of money every month just as surely as if you took all the  cash from your pocket and set it on fire.  But <span style="text-decoration: underline;">this doesn&#8217;t begin to factor the profits you are missing</span> by not capitalizing on that traffic!!!</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;"><em>Let me help convert that traffic into higher profits for you.</em></span></strong></span></div>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Experience has taught me that the best approach to take toward serving new clients is to fully express what I actually do.  On the surface of things I am a  skilled professional in the sign industry.  But I learned long ago that I don&#8217;t <span style="text-decoration: underline;">really</span> create and sell Carved Dimensional Signs&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">What I actually offer is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">an intelligent, proven system for making your business location operate at it&#8217;s highest profit potential</span>! Most retail establishments are located at a very expensive location, with the owner(s) often spending several thousand each month to be in front of over 10,000 cars per day. Unfortunately, very few businesses effectively capitalize on that traffic, so the owner(s) often ends up making one of three choices:</span></p>
<ol>
<li>Spends hundreds/thousands per month on ineffective, usually very expensive advertising.</li>
<li>Spends thousands per month on off-site ads, TV and Radio which deliver a VERY LOW Return on Investment ratio.</li>
<li>Gives up on advertising and gets minimal business until they build up years of referral/return business.</li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>All 3 methods are ineffective at maximizing the profits you deserve</strong> because, in each case, your <strong>location</strong> under-performs!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Think about it with me: Why spend all of the expense getting a high-traffic location, if you are not going to:
<div class="checklist  checklist_medium checklist_left checklist_red "></span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong><em>Get 100% of their Attention</em></strong></li>
<li><strong><em>Promote Everything You Offer in The Best Light</em></strong></li>
<li><strong><em>Make a GREAT Impression?</em></strong></li>
</ul>
</div>
<p><strong>The Bottom Line:</strong></p>
<p><strong>It is VERY expensive to waste that traffic!</strong></p>
<p>I serve my clients best by doing a consultation, either by phone or in person. During the time we spend together, I deliver real knowledge and value to you, information that comes from the <a href="http://sba.gov" target="_blank">U.S Small Business Administration</a> and <a href="http://www.iccwbo.org/id921/index.html" target="_blank">International Chamber of Commerce</a>. If you just put just one of my ideas into effect, the result will pay for itself many times over.</p>
<p>I will assess the ‘real value’ of your location in a way you have probably never considered before. I help you identify ‘image-killers’ and show you how to eliminate them. Next, I will share my On-Site Advertising System, and educate you on the full power of the philosophy, techniques and message-creation concepts I use for the system. When we are finished, I will make a recommendation for a marketing display system which is perfectly sized and designed – with a message strategy aimed at helping you get more attention.</p>
<p>A half hour of your time will get you a no-obligation education about how to capitalize on potential business which you are almost certainly missing out on now.</p>
<p>Don’t Wait – contact me RIGHT NOW! You are losing money – as you think about it, another car just drove past thinking, “I wonder where I can get a good… or find the best dentist in town?”</p>
<p>In order to provide you with the fastest, most accurate information I can, I have put together a short questionnaire you can fill out and email to me. This information will give me a ‘jump-start’ on your location with you. I will never share any of your information with a 3rd party. This is strictly to enable me to serve you better.</p>
<p><script src="http://forms.aweber.com/form/54/227114054.js" type="text/javascript"></script></p>
<p>If you rather not email this information and would prefer to give it to me by phone, you can call me at 607-227-0465</p>
<p>Download your copy of <a href="http://jimthorpesigns.com/reports/Signage-Special-Report.pdf" target="_blank">A Small Business Special Report: The Secret That Can Increase Your Cash Flow and Explode Your Profits.</a> This report alone can educate you about marketing, by making sure that whenever your local people think of the kind of business you’re in, they think of YOU.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://jimthorpesigns.com/reports/Signage-Special-Report.pdf"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-634" title="specialreport" src="http://jimthorpesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/specialreport-198x300.png" alt="specialreport 198x300 " width="198" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>BE AWARE: When I do business with a client, I give them a 3- year 5-mile protected radius. In other words, if their competitor calls me, asking for my help, if they are within that 5-mile radius, I will refuse the business.</p>
