  1. Marquee Lettering

    I can google too, but have you used them. I'd prefer to do business with a recommendation not just a search. Congrats on less then a minute though...

    Hi All, Doe anyone have a source for this type of lettering with exposed edison bulbs, will need custom sizes...

  4. 4x8 Pan Faces

    This thread is great and I agree with everyone but the OP. But the OP did get it right about ddarlak’s logo.
  5. Need Help HP Latex 360 prints have wet spots! Help! Always in same area. Not drying

    We had this issue w/ our 365, and it turned out to be clogged holes in the vent around the heating module. Had a tech come out, cleaned out all the tiny holes and we were good to go.
  6. Texas' High-school Football Obsession and half million dollar sign

    That makes more sense, but wish we had the income tax deal!

    I wish we were taxed at that rate, that almost a full $1 less per....
  8. Some clients...

    I have to agree with Texas, you need to send a warning shot. You can’t just think it’s “implied”. We do a ton of graphic art, many things we do not produce, and at the beginning of a project we discuss how things are billed etc (hourly rate in 15 min increments). This request was not part of...
  9. How to build a $1,000,000 Sign Shop

    You do realize (actually based on your comment you don’t), that there is almost a similiar affect as the law of diminishing returns as you grow. A small 100k-500k shop, the owner is doing way more work then a larger shop (if structured appropriately). A small company has an owner playing...
  10. How to build a $1,000,000 Sign Shop

    Growing your business does not need to be at the expense of your family. I have young children, home by 5-5:30 for dinner every night. If you grow and create the proper infrastructure you can have both. I've always been of the belief that my role is to be the hunter, and growing by business...
  11. How to build a $1,000,000 Sign Shop

    That’s not surprising. Sorry if I did keep score by how my company does and grows, I don’t understand owning a business and not trying to be as large as possible....to me that would be a hobby. And please don’t give me “happiness” as a reason not to try and grown you business...

    You mad bro? Sounds like you fall into the category I mentioned.
  14. How to build a $1,000,000 Sign Shop

    “Not everyone wants to own a 5 mil $ business.” Hopefully they want to be even bigger. Smaller companies that don’t want to be a 5 million dollar company (as you are implying), are like guys at the gym that “don’t want to get too big”. It’s because they are incapable.
  15. How to build a $1,000,000 Sign Shop

    Yes the margins are significant, and the control becomes increasingly more important. Once you hit the proper volume, you'll realize the add'l overhead is insignificant. You'll also quickly realize that jump in margin, trust me we opened our new facility 11 months ago because we got to a size...
  16. How to build a $1,000,000 Sign Shop

    A few reasons to bring in house (as this is a stupid comment, and you need some help): -Control -Margins -Growing a business (Your book of business is not sellable, it's worthless. My shop w/ my book an equipment is worth 1x multiple at worst). You probably have not hit the delta where it...

  20. which you recommend for someone just starting on the signs business?

    What Roland, even w/ the 2k you claim you need for proper powers the overall spend on a latex may be less? And if 2k is going to make the decisions for you then you’re not ready to invest in equipment. As stated you will need a laminator as well, regardless of what machine you buy. The major...
