very true Dave. I carved out the interior architectural signage niche for myself and pretty much owned the market in Omaha and surrounds for many years. Omaha is one of those strange places that defies simple logic. There are a number of International Fortune 500 companies headquartered there like ConAgra for example, the Union Pacific Railroad. All have huge campus complexes of buildings employing thousands, all needed signage on an ongoing basis. Add a huge insurance industry, Mutual of Omaha, Physicians Mutual and several of the world's largest architectural/engineering design firms like Leo A Daly and it was a good place to have a niche and be noticed. One of my accounts was USWest. I got plugged into them when they were headquartered in Omaha as Northwestern Bell. After the consolidation of all the baby Bells in the late 80's, I ended up supplying interior signage to most of their properties in a 14 state region. I probably made 20,000 tactile signs and other ADA compliant signage for them over 10 years. I never wanted for lucrative high-end projects. I have work installed from Pacso, Washington to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and points between....

....end of credential rant.......just trying to let prople know that I do understand this product and market.

It is doable. The point I was trying to drive home is that getting involved with ADA compliant tactile signs is more involved than drilling holes and inserting beads. Much more involved than a typical engraving job. But if someone is up to the challenge and sees a way in, Go for it!

Mike,

I understand what you're saying.

As much as I've created a niche, in taking on unusual engraving tasks, it's not something I would recommend to most people.

Similar to learning the intricacies of ADA signage protocol, it's not for everyone.
