We didn't think about neon, but this past Monday we did have "ENGRAVING" and "TROPHIES" added to our sign out front.
It's worth noting that trophies actually only account for about 2% of our annual sales. However, it's been pointed out here that many people will associate other award-ish items with the "trophies" sign.
It seems to have already been working! We've had a couple of new awards buyers come in since Monday.

I want One...
Dave,
Where did you get your Neon Sign, and what size is it? I'd love to hang one in my window.
Thanks

I had the sign made locally by a gentleman who has been bending glass tubes for neon signs over 50 years. It cost me about $375. When comparing that price to what I have to pay for a simple newspaper ad, it seemed to be a no-brainer.
The dimensions of the sign are 10" x 42".

Matching your truetye fonts
Noticed this typo on your site (truetye) and I am assuming it should be truetype....

Thanks Dave,
Sorry it took so long to respond, I've been out of town since Thursday. I do like your Neon Sign. If I chose to buy one, would the man that did yours be interested in another customer?

I'm sure he would be more than happy to make one. I must tell you that neon does get a little tricky to ship. You will likely be better served by finding someone that does that on a regular basis.
There is another neon sign manufacturer I have done business with. Thier website is LINK. Click on the "NEON Custom Signs" section. Their pricing should be very appealing to you. They are located in South El Monte, Caifornia. http://www.expressionsengraved.com

"A neon sign is an eye-catcher. It's something that will stick in people's minds; maybe even subliminally, until the time they need engraving services. "
That's not subliminal, its just burned into the retina of their eyes so every time they shut their eyes that is what they see. :O)

Yes Dave, Hans is quite a character. He really is a great guy, but what a character. I'm chuckling as I write this and my wife wants to know what's wrong with me. Have you lost your mind?, she asked.
Hans told me he had a wooden crate built for your IS400. I was out of town for a few days last week and haven't seen him. I assume he has already shipped it.
Have a great day,

He is shipping it tomorrow. We got the best shipping rate from Yellow Freight.
