I thought I'd share some information from a conversation that I had with my boss the other day. My boss, who has asked me to keep him up to speed on what goes on here, few other sites along with some sign magazines.
He likes The Sign Syndicate numero uno because of all the information that is brought and shared here. He thought it was funny that after hearing it here, you would read hints of the same information in other areas soon after and in another form. Sometimes this information was even seen in blogs, articles, and used as damage control, these almost seem to be in chronological events.
Just the other day we got a email from Sign & Digital Graphics telling us "you missed January's issue" that we need to become premium subscribers now and pay $xxxx for two years after we have been getting it for free for years. I asked him, my boss what he wanted to do about it. He responded, "why should pay for a magazine that is just a big advertisement? The columns are all about product promotion, they need us more than we need them so they can get out their circulation numbers to their advertisers....they have a failing business model.....we get others who are almost as useless, but we still get them for free. Delete that email!"
After getting the magazines for free you can say he felt pretty insulted and reiterated to me, "nothing is better for getting important information and providing us with good tools than the sign syndicate anyway....where's my lunch?"
So, thought I would give another important persons input on this site.
Keep up the good work, and thank you for making my workday very entertaining at times.
