    YESCO, a Leader in the Electric Sign and Lighting Industry, Expands Through Franchising

    in General Message Board

    Posted

    Guys - I applaud your comments and opinions - but drive down the street in your towns and tell me how many big name fast food places there are - most are franchises.

    While a lot of people on this site are independent and like running their own companies "their way" - the reason why it will probably work for YESCO is because they are very successful and have a recipe that works. So essentially and metaphorically - "a lot of people while drive thru their restaurant". People like something familiar and if YESCO spends the right amount of time and money they can become the household name.

    Please remember that YESCO is the company that builds a large share of the digital billboards on USA highways - dont you think they are very well positioned to become a name people recognize by being an advertisement on the signs they rent to end billboard/advertising companies????

    Or think for a minute on how you would compete with a YESCO sign company down the street from your shop that has material pricing that is about 30-50% less than yours? Do not forget folks that N Glantz and YESCO are very very close. N Glantz has offices in YESCO buildings in Las Vegas! So if YESCO extends their low pricing agreements they have with N Glantz to their franchises - wouldnt that be interesting?

    Big companies, or the largest ones in their sectors, have a lot of leverage and can move in like a Walmart and give smaller business a lot to worry about.

    Just because you dont like it does not mean it is not going to be something that doesnt work.

    I always use the analogy - the world was once flat, but boy did someone change our minds.

    I applaud YESCO for doing this... and having seen some of the service systems they have in place, my bet (and I live in Las Vegas and do not gamble) is that they will win...

    Sounds like a great opportunity for anyone within the company who already have experience to give a go at it, people who already know the ins and outs of the company. It will be interesting though to see.

    Would someone "give up their existing sign company" to become a YESCO sign company/franchise? Seems like it would be a huge boost for a talented small company wanting to expand.

    CAO Group Files LED Light Source Patent Infringement Lawsuit

    Riding on the coat tails of recent similar actions??? I dunno.....

    Actually it appears they are going to "give it a go" because their products are performing so badly in the industry. Just take a look at the Great White Hope and Tighty Whitey tutorials - they are doing horrible!

    From the names mentioned it looks like it is an issue with something in one of their 3 other fields and not the sign industry. Pretty sure Sharp, Toshiba and Feit do not make sign products.

    CAO uses the same LEDs in those other products - buy an expensive LED lit TV - it will only fade about 40% in 2 years!!! Isnt that high value????

    But lets all agree - if we went to their country we would be respectful of them - we would be in their country.

    I guess I dont understand when people want the liberties we are afforded here in the USA but they cannot give up on their values of their old homeland.

    My mom is a foreigner, from Spain, and she taught us to be respectful of wherever you are and more importantly to respectfully be American to foreigners.

    People forget that if you take a dog from one country to another country - they will still walk up to each other, smell each others' business, wag tails - and be civil. We have a thing or two to learn from animals.

    Hell - my dog learned to urinate on marine wharf cleat instead of a tree - thats what they had where we lived. I didnt tell them to grow some damn trees because the American was in town.

    This bugs me so bad... when I travel to other countries I respect their cultures...and the same back the other direction.

    I would have dropped my drawers and taken a dump in front of him and then said - "If you think Americans are crappy - I wanted you to have the full experience. And if you really want I can rub it in your face the way you put your cultural norms on our society"

    Respect is a mutual sentiment... not one side.

    Kirstie - that really sucks for you to have gone thru that!!

    Enough is Enough - N Glantz

    Ok, now I have completely seen enough... I learned a long time ago from my Buddhist business partner that Karma is a journey... we must go through the road of our negative crap before it turns and goes the other way.

    So I have had enough of N Glantz.

    I am tired of being negative - it is rather unproductive. I exchanged an intelligent and entertaining and quite smart dialogue with a top member of N Glantz membership and they said that they couldnt type on their Blackberry as fast as I could on my iPhone...so they were going to go sell LEDs.

    It was a great and valid response.

    I am done bashing N Glantz.

    I respect what they have done and think they have a pretty brilliant approach in a down market - we have all indirectly and directly benefitted from them keeping the market moving despite the economic pressures.

    So with that - "Cheers to N Glantz, my negative journey is over, I applaud your success"

    AxiomLED Did Not Mean to Offend N Glantz

    Well nobody seems to know how to laugh or have fun - I think we do a good job of making fun of ourselves.

    Larry Market at N Glantz saw that we posted our "Cheap Value Products" video on the Sign Syndicate and was Offended by it. My personal and sincere apologies.

    We did try and meet with Larry and N Glantz a few times prior to our debut of the video to let them know we were doing it in jest and humor and even offered an invitation for them to come to our party. They did not come to the scheduled meetings or our party - I tried.

    We did modify our video and if you were at our party and do know Larry Market (770.331.1291 or 770.419.9517 or lmarkert@nglantz.com) of N Glantz can you all let him know that it was just trying to lighten up the group and to laugh and have fun. Somebody on the party bus did send it to him - didnt you tell him it was just for fun!!! Because the rest of the night was so serious....right!!!!??

    I have a lot of respect for N Glantz and what they do... too bad Davey Glantz and Larry Markert could not meet with us to bring a very High Value low cost product like AxiomLED to the market.

    We updated the video - please see it here
