Op-Ed: My House Gutting Sign is the Best
by Harry Breedlove, Out-of-Town Contractor

The other day, I took a break from hammering election-style advertisements on the Argonne Street neutral ground and looked around.

There are many signs up in New Orleans right now, but of all the signs out there, my sign is the best.

Why? Because against a sea of competitors offering precisely the same service that I do, I stand out.

First of all, I chose a powerful, bold typeface for the words “HOUSE GUTTING.”

My sign has a huge phone number. That’s really important, especially in a neighborhood with no working stoplights.

My sign is purple and gold like LSU. You have to play on people’s allegiances.

All those other signs have way too many words on them. Nobody cares if you’re “Fully Licensed, Bonded, and Insured.” It’s just too many words for people to read.

Finally, I think my sign is the best because I’ve got more of them. I tend to put them in large bunches of ten.

A message repeated is a message remembered. A message repeated is a message remembered.

See what I just did there? I rest my case.
