The Story Behind Our Name: A Blast from the Past
You ever wonder why our company's original brand name was AAA ABCO Termite & Pest Control? It's a bit of a fun fact that might make sense if you're old enough to remember the Yellow Pages!
Back in the day, before search engines and the internet, companies relied on printed phone books. To get their business listed first, many would strategically place "A"s or "ABC" at the beginning of their names. The idea was simple: if you were the first name someone saw when flipping through the Yellow Pages for a service, you had a better chance of getting their call.
This clever marketing tactic was a testament to the forward-thinking vision of Arnold Fishon, a true marketing business owner and entrepreneur of his time!
