A Signage Crush in the South Bay Area - San Jose, CA

By John Kitts, CityScoop Staff Writer

To Love, Love, Love a Sign Company - San Jose, CA

Even though he is a dashing gentlemen, Doug Enns, the owner of a signage company in San Jose, CA called Mission City Signs, is not who his customers fall in love with. No it’s his signs…

“Doug, I absolutely love, love, love my new signs.”

That’s one line of a great testimonial from Leilia, owner of Pelo Salon, in Los Gatos, CA. I read the testimonial on Mission City Signs’ website and wanted to share it. They must be pretty good at making signs to get that kind of a raving review. To love something once is good, let alone 3 times.

Sometimes product information, examples, details, comparisons and lots of analyzing is the right way to make a business choice, be it for signs or for stamps. And sometimes the best way is just to check out what other people say.

Get your sign made from a Master Black Belt - Raleigh, NC

By John Kitts, CityScoop Staff Writer

A Sign Company in Raleigh, NC with a Black Belt

Get your sign made from a Six Sigma Master Black Belt in Raleigh, North Carolina. Sounds dangerous! I think I’d be a little nervous around a person like that. Unless they were on my team of course and then I’d feel the opposite; really safe! I’m sure the other employees at SignCraft Solutions in Raleigh / Wake Forrest, NC don’t mind having Bob McEwen (The holder of the title Six Sigma Master Black Belt) on their side of the counter.

But what does having a black belt have to do with signage? Why does it matter if someone with a black belt makes your sign? That’s like having a software developer paint your house.

Well it turns out that this is not your typical type of black belt. It’s not a measure of proficiency in the martial arts. It’s a high level quality certification signifying excellence and it isn’t just handed out. With a BS degree in Civil Engineering, Bob McEwen has 15 years of experience in quality management and engineering in both manufacturing and financial services. He is very qualified in many different fields including signage.

And in signage it’s all about quality and a professional product. If I’m going to buy a sign and I have the option of someone with a black belt degree in quality, it’s not much of a choice. After all, everyone would love to have a black belt in something. Not only does it signify the mastery of something, it’s sounds cool.

Born To Be An Ear Doctor - Walnut Creek, CA

By John Kitts, CityScoop Staff Writer

In Japanese the word mimi means ear. Dr. Mimi T Salamat is an ear doctor but she isn’t Japanese. But when she got into school and then became a teacher and then eventually opened her own practice she at one point learned that mimi means ear in Japanese. So it makes sense to brand her practice as Dr. Mimi’s Audiology Clinic, because an audiologist is an ear and hearing specialist.

Not to be confused with a regular ear doctor who gives you ear drops when you get an ear infection from too much swimming. Dr. Mimi is a hearing specialist, a hearing scientist, and when you have a hearing problem like tinnitus or if you want to make sure you’re being properly fitted for a hearing aid from someone who really knows what they’re doing, you go to an audiologist. And if you’re in the Bay Area you go to Dr. Mimi.

Dr. Mimi T Salamat is a practicing audiologist in the East Bay Area, in Walnut Creek, CA. She has a PhD, has been a professor teaching at a University and has two Masters degrees. In short, she’s extremely skilled and qualified. But more than anything she has a very gentle nature and freindly personality, which is not only a great trait or quality for anyone to have but especially when you’re working with people who are hard of hearing like the elderly. She has a real gift for her craft, she is brilliant as her credentials demonstrate and she makes everyone feel very comfortable in her office.

Born to be an ear doctor.
