This is a place to pitch goofy million dollar ideas that you had in the shower, as you were falling asleep, or during a fever dream. Think of it is as shitty Shark Tank.

Isn't this Spotify and their ads?

Exactly, except we provide an actually useful service. In the age of every Tom, Dick, and Harry trying to sell you a "subscription" under the guise of "IoT", isn't it better to just tell those solar/HVAC/Spectrum people to just fuck off?

How better to do that than one of my shiny new "No Soliciting" signs? I guarantee (30-day warranty) that these beautiful enameled signs will tell the best of door-to-door salespeople, "Not today. Not on my lawn. Certainly not on my porch!"

I know what you're saying, "Couldn't I just make the sign myself?" Yes, you could, and it would make total sense to do so, if we lived in the 50s. These days, you need a service, that will be there 24/7. You might say, doesn't my already existing security service already do that?" To that I say, "Yes!" Our service is basically taking the load off the security system, by providing a signature piece of lawn statement, that tells certain people that they're not welcome. Perfect for Karens!
