140 Characters Conference Meetup
The 140 Chartacters Conference is coming to Canada for the first time and the event is being held at The Tannery. We’re very familiar with that building in regards to reception signage, window graphics and wayfinding signs.
To celebrate the arrival of the 140 Conference in Canada, there are meetups being held all over Ontario this summer. The final meetup will be held here 51 Borden Ave S. Kitchener Ontario. Once again we are partnering with Little Mushroom Catering and I’m sure a few other friends will be involved along the way.
If you are interested in meeting lots of people from different parts of the province, please plan to drop by! Make sure you RSVP at this link http://guestlistapp.com/events/64371 so we can ensure there are enough munchies for everyone!

3 Dimensional Sign Manufacturing In Kitchener Waterloo – WaterlooMIN Takes It All In
Where Will We Be Found Next?
Building a buzz around Waterloo Region is something that we enjoy creating, but we’re not the only ones. WaterlooMIN re-branded and is creating a lot of sparks in the local manufacturing industry. We were excited to be included in their re-launch event and took the opportunity to make several connections with those involved in the WaterlooMIN site.
Julia Rosien of WaterlooMIN came by The Sign Depot to get a behind the scenes glimpse of the sign manufacturing industry. She took the time to create a post and video about her experience. She mentioned that our OPEN DOOR policy is very rare in the manufacturing community and appreciated by their organization. It is great to know that Waterloo Region supports what we are doing and helping other local manufactures to excel in their industry through the use of the WaterlooMIN site.
Julia’s full post can be found on the WaterlooMIN site, as well as this video describing what we do and showing some behind the scenes of the 3 dimensional sign for The Silver Spoon located in downtown Kitchener Ontario. http://youtu.be/Tdm8sttN1hQ?hd=1Our online pressence through the use of Social Networks was discussed at length. That discussion evolved into how blogging and how our twitter and facebook pages are used to amplify the posts. Julia gave us a lot of great feedback on these topics and reinforced the idea that the blog is a great tool to create a community following.
This month we’re proud to announce that The Sign Depot has been added to WaterlooMIN ‘s EXPERT BLOGGER list under the heading of Marketing Matters. There, we will be exploring blogging in the manufacturing industry and steps you can take to reach a bigger audience. We’ll be explaining the difference between static websites and blogs. We want to show manufactures how to build a following and create a community, and tips to get your message out through the use of Social Networks. We think connecting with our online audience is a Sign Of Things To Come!
What tools do you use to create a online pressence?
