  1. What is your quoting procedure?

    I usually do estimate that includes a range. Most people are ok with that. Sometimes I refuse to give an exact price if the job is small and they are being cheap about it. I tell them I'm very busy and I don't have time for exact pricing on multiple sizes - this is the range, period. Asking for...
  2. Interesting business opportunity

    I get a lot of people ask me if I do engraving but it's just for "a few trophies" or single name plates. Personally, if you could go after a hospital or school...larger jobs then I would. If it's all little orders then it could be a time sucker. But, with engraving the same people might need...
  3. Looking for help in deciphering this coloring code

    I had posted on this estimate a month back. Several signs for a local business - I guess I got the job. They sent me this and it has a gradient in it. Am I just matching up the main colors to the PMS colors or do I have to match the gradients also? I have a HP 115 latex. He comes from the...
  4. Discussion More organic traffic but less conversion, how is it possible?

    I would check on Etsy, that's where everyone buys everything these days. Modern farmhouse - keywords. These abstract lines and circles are all over the site...must be the new thing now. A lot of color blocks also. Nursery decals are popular among new parents...

  8. Cool little promo video of us

    I love the video! Your installation area is really nice, bright, cheery, spacious...really like the dinosaur on the wall.
  9. Discussion More organic traffic but less conversion, how is it possible?

    I completely agree with Victor on this. Design trends change. Everyone on Etsy is doing them also. Slightly different...I used to make wood signs with wording on them. I sold them at craft shows, on Etsy, my website, I had "sign-making" classes and sold a crap-ton in my shop. Stepped back a bit...

  13. One man shop growing pains

    I'm not sure what variety of Spectrum internet I have at my shop but no lag with 6 PS4's playing Call of Duty at the same time.
  14. ISO Ideas for shop walls...

    I moved the entire shop around to fit my printer. I took everything off my pegboard walls ugh. Yesterday we touched up all the walls and moved some wires around in the ceiling so I have a little work to do first to clean up a little from moving. I thought of... Printing some old signs or old...
  15. Cool things

    That's awesome!!! It would be great advertising for you with some catchy slogans!
  16. Mesh banners tearing in wind

    I'm not sure what is on these banners but if it's something more long term give them some ACM pricing just for kicks. Paying you to go out there and fix all this stuff is costing them more than if they had just went with ACM in the beginning. For our high school I made a ton of "senior...
  17. Not to contribute to that mess being created in another thread

    The knee pad pants would be perfect for me - hidden knee pads! I wouldn't get anymore of those BJ jokes during my installs.
  18. Vinyl print skewing using Big Squeegee...static cling?

    I could but then I have to mess around with the tension to go back to doing prints...I still don't have it completely figured out. Notareal give me some help yesterday and I did several prints perfectly so...I'm scared to change it LOL

  20. New rite media laminator

    All I have is a 2 roll laminator with a hand crank. I ended up starting from scratch last night. I lifted the rollers so there was just a sliver of light, then put them together...then just a little crank. I feel like there's not much pressure but finally last night I got perfect lamination...
