Like most people, you have probably heard about the ANSI/TIA/EIA-606-A label standard, but have never taken time to learn about it. If you are typical, labeling is, at best, a necessary evil. At worst, it can be a nightmare. Why not take something that you consider a disadvantage and turn it into a strong advantage? This is the basis for success in any business. Success often means you have to add value. Going the extra mile up front, by showing a potential customer how you plan to label and administer the installation, will go a long way to creating confidence and trust. Price is not always the driving factor. However, you have to show the customer that you can save them time and money, now and in the future. Labeling is probably one of the most talked about benefits on any installation, yet it is also one of the most forgotten when it comes down to actually doing the work. What is the cost of NOT labeling or creating your own method of labeling? It is hard to measure in the short term, but in the long term it does have consequences.
