How the partnership works.
Leadmill generates demand
Local Meta campaigns for illuminated signage, in your market only.
Your shop sells the project
Your lead, your customer, your retail price.
You deliver the job
Survey, permits, install — your shop, your way.
Optional: we fabricate
Trade-priced from our UL-certified Houston facility. Many partners never use it.
If you use our fabrication, one job can look like this.
Fabricate in-house? Skip this section — the leads are yours either way.

How we know this works
Our first client became our fabrication anchor.
Leadmill started as the campaigns behind Houston Sign Crafters — the UL-certified shop whose work fills this page, and the anchor of our fabrication network. Now both sides of that system run for shops outside Houston.
Why $1,000 and not an agency retainer?
Agencies charge you before you've seen a lead.
We work free for 21 days — you fund only the ads.
We make our real money when you sell signs. When you win, we build.

Check My MarketBuilt for real shops, not everyone.
A strong partner looks like:
- ✓ An established shop with local business customers
- ✓ Someone comfortable quoting and selling projects
- ✓ Able to handle or coordinate site surveys
- ✓ Able to handle permitting and installation locally
- ✓ Doing roughly $30k+/month in revenue, with room for a real ad-spend test
- ✓ Wants a lead source they actually control
Probably not a fit:
- ✕ Needs us to handle permits or installation
- ✕ No way to survey or measure a site
- ✕ Can't invest anything in advertising, or ad account not in good standing with Meta
- ✕ Only wants occasional cheap fabrication
- ✕ Greater Houston shops
A note from the founder.
If you've been burned by an agency, you should be skeptical of this page.
So here's the plain version: I'm not a marketer who picked your niche off a list. I own the sign shop in this photo. We quote illuminated signage, build it, and run these exact campaigns for ourselves every week — that's why the first 21 days are free.
If your market doesn't make sense for this, I'll tell you on the call and we'll part as friends.
