WHAT I ORDERED vs WHAT I GOT 😭
I wish I was joking.
The first photo is exactly how my new boards were designed to look. Elegant, understated, premium, with a dark timber post and hanging board.
The second photo is what has actually appeared outside one of my clients’ homes.
No post. No hanging board. Just… planted in a hedge.
I genuinely don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
After spending months creating my new brand and obsessing over every tiny detail, seeing my name sticking out of the top of a hedge was definitely not part of the brand guidelines. 😂
Joking aside, I am actually incredibly disappointed and, frankly, embarrassed.
My clients trust me to present their homes beautifully. Presentation matters enormously to me, so these boards simply do not represent the standard of my business or the service I provide.
To my clients who currently have one of these boards outside their home, I am so sorry. Please know this isn’t what I ordered, it isn’t what I approved, and I’m doing everything I can to get them replaced.
Apparently even estate agents can have their own “what I ordered vs what I got” moment.
Mine just happens to be displayed publicly around North Yorkshire. 🙈
So… HELP!
If anyone can recommend a fantastic estate agency sign company that cares about quality, installation and the little details, please DM me.
Because the beautiful board in photo one is what I ordered.
The hedge ornament in photo two most definitely is not. 🤎
