  6. Signmaking is territorial, and that can hurt

    Several years back I lost a bread and butter client that I had for many years to a much larger union shop that took all their work nationwide. It almost did me in but I learned a great deal from it. Sometimes you can be doing all the right things and it still doesn't matter. I had to quit doing...

    For vinyl, roll. Printed not so much. I used to do two rather large movie theater frames with new releases. 14'x20'. Just install what was sent to theater.
