Elliott April 2024 Newsletter

Embrace Innovation and FUN at the ISA Sign Expo… No Kidding

At Elliott, the excitement is building for the upcoming ISA Sign Expo in Orlando this April 10th to 12th. This event is a cornerstone for the sign industry, offering opportunities to explore cutting-edge products, connect with industry experts, and gain valuable insights to propel your business forward.

At Elliott, we understand the importance of staying at the forefront of industry advancements. That’s why we’re excited to showcase our latest innovations and solutions tailored to the unique needs of the sign industry. We’re eager to demonstrate how our latest offerings, including advanced material-handling aerial lifts and control systems, can transform your operational efficiency!

The Sign Expo also offers a chance to foster camaraderie and indulge in some well-deserved fun. With April Fools’ Day just around the corner, it’s a gentle reminder of how a vibrant sense of humor can be the spark for innovation and resilience. At Elliott, we cherish this blend of fun and creativity as a core part of our identity.

We believe in infusing joy and levity into our daily interactions. I myself have been known to occasionally indulge in light-hearted pranks. Some of our employees may recall past April Fools’ antics, such as the infamous donuts filled with BBQ sauce and mustard instead of jelly. While those moments may have elicited a few unforgettable faces, they also served as reminders of the importance of FUN in the workplace. We believe that laughter and joy are vital for a thriving workplace culture, encouraging creativity and strengthening bonds.

As you prepare to attend the ISA Sign Expo, I encourage you to approach the event with a spirit of curiosity, collaboration, and FUN. Together, let’s seize this opportunity to learn, connect, and celebrate the vibrant industry that we’re proud to be a part of.

We look forward to welcoming you to our booth and sharing in the excitement of the ISA Sign Expo. See you in Orlando!

SPOTLIGHT ON SAFETY: CALL 811 BEFORE YOU DIG

April is National Safe Digging Month. Every year, contact with underground utilities causes unnecessary injuries, deaths, and billions of dollars worth of damages. Most incidents could be prevented by using the local One-Call service to locate utilities before you dig. Remember, call 811 before any commercial digging project!
