Gonna preach a little knowledge about hot dogs.
There is a good reason cancer is so high.
protein in the hot dog
- sodium nitrite in the hot dog (curing salt in almost all processed meat)
+hydrochloric acid in your stomach
= nitrosamines
Nitrosamines are what they give lab rats to give them tumors so they
can test their cancer poisons on the rats.
T h i n k a b o u t i t !!!
No BS. NOT a conspiracy.
I love hot dogs too as well as sandwhich meats but you have to get
the “uncured” meats, sausages, and sandwhich meats.
Another reason smoking youre own bacon/pork belly is so much better. (ofd)

Just 10?!? I was starting to follow your posts but now I am questioning your dedication to the business…
Might be the same guy that’s ripping my signs out the ground and putting his $99 sign in it’s place! Called him the other day when I saw that and told him nicely that’s there’s plenty to go around for our work and it’s really disrespectful to trash another guys sign just to place yours in it’s exact spot. He said it’s free real-estate and deal with it. He does painting as well and other odds and ends
I do yard signs once per season. Beyond that they’re a tremendous waste of money and effort. Kansas City proper will send you a violation and fine in the mail if they happen to find one that doesn’t get stolen. The $99 house wash signs I pull all the time and toss them right in the dumpster. Typically, I’d admire the hustle, and I’m staying busy so what do I care? That guy is a hack and may be the same guy that was paying for fake reviews on google. I turned that company in to google and they took away 2/3rds of his reviews.
This year, if I see signs from companies I don’t know and not based in the Northland in parkville, Gladstone, liberty, Platte city, north Kansas City, and a few other townships, they’re getting pulled and trashed. Too many hacks.

Actually, I have a couple friends that have pulled some signs for pressure washing and house washing because they didn’t have SquidsKC.com on them. LOL those are good friends.

Little selfish don’t you think? You do the same thing once a year but trash his ones because he’s cheap and your busy and don’t care.

I didn’t invest in yard signs either. I only bought 2 to put out infront of the job I was working on because I didn’t have any truck advertising at the time. Once I got alittle advertising on my truck, I just put the 2 signs I had in high vis areas. One lasted a day, the other lasted a month before that $99 guy ripped it.
I do admit I have pulled about 3 signs in 2 years. Now I am no where near as busy with jobs as squid and I guess you could say I’m still in the startup phase but, these $99 guys just make everyone think that’s how much this job is worth and when I tell people the real prices, some say it’s way to high and another guy said he could do it for $100 and I loose the job. I try to land jobs based on the quality and service I can provide not based on the price. I don’t really do yard signs anyways. I’ve moved on to google ads, social media ads, and word of mouth.
Don’t pull the $99 signs. Put up your own close by that say, “we fix $99 house washes”
This will do more to correct the mindset being created, than simply making the signs disappear.

Sure. But it’s my business, my market, and my experience that dictates what I do. To each their own. And the guy is the consummate hack. I don’t think twice.

Well I can understand you doing it, your young, hungry and green but not someone offering marketing advice on YouTube and then saying they pull down competitors signs because there cheap and have an illusion of poor quality based on there price, some people aren’t out to make 100s of thousands of dollars but just to have an income, or simply haven’t got the knowledge or means to achieve it, but why should they be handicapped based off of impression? I’ve sold $500 house washes in ghetto area’s and got laughed at at very high end places for the same amount, not because I was expensive or cheap but because they weren’t my customer. It’s easy to police areas and pull signs but let’s not forget, some people aren’t going to pay market price no matter who you are or what you promise, it’s just the reality of dealing with the public.
