Dave Skromme wins top award at FASTSIGNS Convention

Carrollton, Texas - Dave and Linda Skromme, the owners of a FASTSIGNS® sign and graphics center in San Mateo, received multiple sales achievement awards, including the top award from the franchise system, at the 2007 FASTSIGNS International, Inc. convention held recently in Colorado Springs.

Dave Skromme, who has owned his FASTSIGNS center since 1991, was awarded the convention’s most important recognition, the FASTSIGNS award, which goes to the center owner who represents the concept and the spirit of the FASTSIGNS name, both in the business community and in the FASTSIGNS network.

“Dave Skromme is an outstanding representative of the FASTSIGNS system and well-deserving of this award,” said Gary Salomon, FASTSIGNS CEO and co-founder, in presenting the award. “He has excelled in our vision of ‘Sign and Graphics Solutions made simple,’ and is generous and cooperative in working with other franchisees to increase the strength, size and integrity of our network.”

In addition, the Skrommes’ center was recognized for achieving more than $1 million in total sales from October 1, 2005 through September 30, 2006.

Dave Skromme received one more special recognition at the convention, for his service as a member of FASTSIGNS National Advertising Council (NAC) board for the past four years, where he represented the Western region, providing strategic direction for the development of services, programs and materials that benefit the North American FASTSIGNS system.

“It is such an honor to be recognized, both personally and professionally by my peers and by those who have helped me reach these significant milestones as part of the FASTSIGNS network,” said Dave Skromme. “I was elated when we hit over $1 million in sales at the center this year, and on behalf of Linda and myself, I want to thank our staff for all their hard work and dedication. These recognitions are due in large part to my great team.”
