1. How long has A-Nete-Idea been in business?

A-Nete-Idea Novelty Sign Service was started in 1987 By Nita Clark. A-Nete (pronounced Neat)-Idea was named so, because it is Nita's nickname. Her nieces thought that it was the perfect name for such a neat business. We created a successful business by being a pioneer in the field of Lawn Sign Displays. There was no one to ask, we did it on our own, through trial and error, we have perfected our products.

3. Why a CNSS Dealership?

A dealership with CNSS, Inc. gives someone interested in a yard sign display business everything they need to start a successful business without the intrusiveness of a franchise.
By offering Dealerships not franchises, we have little control over what YOUR business does, we are your supplier. Making it truly your business.

4. What does a dealership get me?

As a dealer for CNSS, Inc. one would have the ability to grow as they are ready. A dealer could start small, say with just the minimum order, and then purchase other displays for special occasions as they are ready. You get exclusive guaranteed territory, we will sell to NO ONE within your territory. Support based on the experience we have gained in this business since 1987. Exclusive dealership offers and designs.

5. What is the difference between a dealership and just buying a few signs, or supplies?

Every dealership comes with

• Guaranteed Territory (we will not sell to anyone else in your territory)
  
• a business owner's manual
• a listing or link on our web site
• unlimited consultations, phone or e mail
• help with picking out a name for your business.
• miscellaneous office supplies.
• Business flyers to get started
• and more,

these are things you would not get from just purchasing a sign or two.

6. Do I have to buy a dealership, or can I buy signs and supplies?

As of the fall of 2006 you can purchase some of our small theme items as well as the "our Adorable Baby" display through A Happy Day Lawn Display, Inc. However our life size lawn greeting signs and supplies can only be purchased by purchasing a dealership. A Happy Day Lawn Display will not sell to anyone who is within a Clark Novelty Sign Sales, Inc dealership's territory.

7. What makes your small sign display props different?
We use high impact plastic for all of our small items*, not
corrugated plastic (which quickly fades easily bends and creases).This plastic is flat, and resists fading. Our vinyl decals can be replaced if ever needed. All small theme yard decoration items are PRE drilled, and come with stakes, that we have designed and manufacture on premise (all included in one price). Flat decorations are superior to molded 3-D items because:

• They are easier to store, one or two totes can hold all of onetheme.
• You can get several yard display deliveries into your vehicle at a time.
• The special occasion yard display can be quickly set up, with fewer trips back And forth to the vehicle.
• They can be easily identified, because they can't be purchased anywhere but from Clark Novelty Sign Sales, Inc., And we do not sell to anyone not in the Yard Sign Display Business.
• They have loads of personality.

8. How are your Large Deluxe Signs different from others?

Each of our large designs, are on BOTH sides and stand completely upright. Each display has it's own unique and fun personality. Our smaller economy size signs are one sided and slightly lean, but are done with the same designs as the larger double sided sign, giving them just as much personality. Each sign weighs approximately 35 pounds

Our large deluxe signs, are done on BOTH sides, made from high quality sign board, stand completely upright, our large deluxe daily signs use our special fsms stands (a pair for each sign, no pounding required.) and measure approximately 74 inches tall and 42 inches wide, making them easy for most men and women to handle.

Our Standard size signs are light weight, measure 4 ft. by 4 ft. (66 inches in height, if detachable vinyl balloons are purchased to use with the sign), have graphics and wording on ONE side come with a light weight metal frame attached to the back for quick and easy set up , the only pounding required is a tent peg to prevent the sign from blowing over in the event of high winds . Each yard display sign has it's own unique and fun personality.

15. Why do you only have a few dealers, other companies I see have more partners, affillates, dealers, or franchisees than you do?

To insure that we are able to maintain personal contact with each of our dealers we restrict the number of dealerships awarded each year to no more than 6. This enables us to maintain an excellent working relationship with our older dealerships as well as the newest dealership. Giving each dealership the best personalized attention possible. We are not out to be the largest seller of lawn greeting business opportunities, just the best. Ensuring that our dealerships have the best looking products available, back by the best customer service available.
