Late last month a friendly neighbor in Rolla made us aware of a potential issue with our roadside “Coming Soon” signage throughout the county.
Many of our signs posted at intersections North of Outer Rd. in St. James had been taken out of the ground and discarded in a nearby ditch, seemingly replaced by nondescript competitor signs with non-local hotline numbers.
While this alleged mishandling of our property is disappointing, we never pass up an opportunity to turn lemons into lemonade.
We are considering a lawn signage incentive program for our new customers. Since our signage is currently placed in public right-of-ways, not private property, we can’t always secure reliable placement for our signage. The program we envision is an exchange of bill credits for placing a “Coming Soon” sign in your lawn for a certain period of time. While we are working out the details, if this is something you might be interested in, we’d love to hear from you.
