RE: I did this Little 'one man' Business and Full Time for over 4 Years back in late 90s' ...It was a Blast too , Check it out :)
That's actually a really cool business idea. Serves two purposes as well, better for emergency services response as well as friends and new people being able to find your home, but also its kind of cute as well. I really like the Texas flag street numbers, super cool. You could do a lot of creative stuff like for Chicago do the Chicago skyline with the address below it. For california do like a setting sun and a palm tree with street address. You could get really creative with this
Yep. You could definietly do that. I kept it simple. And the way I promoted it was pretty cool too. I would put Flyers on the post of mailboxes ( against fed. law to put it on or in mail boxes) and it would be kind of official looking saying for I.D. and Emergency purposes we are coming around the nieightborhood to put address numbers on the curbs. And the flyer went on to say if you want this Service please take the back of this Flyer and print your Address numbers on it. And then tape this to your window so we can see it from the street no later than by 7am tomorrow .
So I would drive around putting these flyers down the street. Come back the next morning to see who had the flyers with address numbers taped to window. Then start painting the numbers. And collect right there. Or come back later to collect if they were not home then.
well that was just brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
