Good catch. Thank you.

Free bonus. Just this morning, I learned a new awesomely simple tactic and I want to pass it on to you. Whenever you start a new conversation, take out your pad of paper and pen, and in the upper right-hand corner, write the word listen. Reminder. As a merchant member, I am allowed to have one...

It sounds like you want to know the dollar value of a partial roll of vinyl, right? RICHARD SIMMONS approach works if the remaining meters is printed on the backing paper. If it is not printed, then here is an idea. Several Signs101 members use the weight method. (Lindsey for example.) Weigh a...

KatePhillips First of all, thank you for replying to this thread. The difference is in the term "durable goods." Those are goods that are intended to last more than three years. Many sign makers manufacture durable goods and deliver them directly to the end-user. Does that maybe help to...

First, thank you to all Signs101 members that have read this thread and those who have replied. It is interesting to me to see the diverse viewpoints. As I see it, here is another significant difference: Manufacture durable goods and deliver them directly to end-users. Even a one-person sign...

I invite other viewpoints. This thread is open for various input and feedback. If you agree, disagree, you are welcome to reply.

Wide open discussion. I believe that the sign making industry is significantly different than most other industries. How do you see it? What are some of the specific differences? Let me start the ball rolling. Most of the signs you make are seen by thousands of people. Just asking. :) :guido:

Gino Let's talk about the topic of "What are your credentials ?? " First of all, I am sure that you are aware that I could purchase just about any kind of credential there is and still not be capable of delivering a productive conversation. Second. If you have a particular set of credentials...

Gino Thanks for your feedback. It has been my own personal experience in talking with sign makers to find that our conversations are productive and helpful. Nonetheless, there have been a few times when it has not worked. In one way, I could describe my service as being a sort of sounding board...

CanuckSigns Yes, YouTube is very helpful as long as you have internet access. And then, the variances in what all the YouTube videos have to say is confusing to say the least. At the bottom of my written instructions there will be a list or recommended YouTube videos. Indeed, even making that...

Gino Thank you.

Boudica Once I have completed it, I will consider posting a link to the Google Document. Yes, I am open to proof reading. So far, it is over 1,000 words so it might not work as a Thread. We shall see.

Billct2 I have almost completed my written instructions, but would welcome the chance to compare notes. Could you maybe send me a copy of the instructions that you send?

eahicks That certainly is your free choice to run your business that way. My client wants to help his customers who have no access to skilled installers.

signage Thank you. My client is asking for detailed written instructions. Written for someone who has never installed anything like a vinyl decal. The instructions are to include surface preparation. I am well into the project. Just wondering and open to what others may have written. The videos...

Gino My client is asking for detailed written text only instructions. I have completed most of the project and am open to considering other tactics. Yes, Google and YouTube are great resources. In the few places where I found written instructions, too much was assumed and left out. To be sure...

Let me clarify. I am writing the text only instructions. I am open to comparing different approaches.

Reveal1 Let me focus on what you describe as the "doors, DOT?VIN." If your client/customer asked for written instructions on how to properly apply, do you per chance already have something written out? Thank you.

signage Well, what if your client lives in a rural area, hundreds of miles from someone with the skills? And, you will be mailing the vinyl in a tube. Let me explain. My assignment from my client is to write out those detailed instructions. Not as easy as it sounds.

Per chance, for the "Do It Yourself" installer, does anyone have any written instructions, step by step how to apply the vinyl material to say something like a vehicle door? I have someone asking for that kind of text only written material. And, I have my own that I am working on, but would like...
