    You need to get UL or ETL certified. That could be anywhere from $20k - $60k depending on what you want to do and then ongoing fees. Also you need a letter bender, notcher, trimmer, etc. You'd be looking at the $150k range for that equipment.

  6. Local Competition

    There are 14 shops in my area. So having 4 in yours is good. But all your pain in the ass customers, send them over to their business. When they get screwed maybe they will learn and accept your price and work with you more. Any customer who is petty and will want the cheapest price, no artwork...
  7. Local Competition

    There is a shop in our area like that. His quality is so bad, he hurts himself. He only covers within about 20 miles of his shop. I cover the entire state and have more business than I can handle. The more you distance yourself from him, the quicker he will fail. Just educate your customers...

  17. Is mobile sign service a good investment?

    I actually ran a mobile sign business from 2005 to 2007. Let me tell you, I was miserable. The main issue is you drive a half hour for a $50 job and an hour away for a $100. Between the gas and running a generator, it eats up your profits. If you could do a thousand dollar job everywhere you...

    Merry Christmas to everyone. Have a safe and wonderful holiday.
  19. Desktop label maker for banners

    It does matter, they are completely different. How would you feel like someone told you to buy a machine for a couple thousand bucks and then it didn't do what you wanted?
  20. Desktop label maker for banners

    That is a label, not a banner. You can't make a 4' X 10' banner and hang it on the side of a building with a label maker.
