  3. General Tips for generating new business?

    Welcome to the forum from Maryland. I know your area well, as I lived in Harrogate, just across the mountain from you ( now through the tunnel ). The first step is to get people in your shop, and the best way is to advertise. Cold calling can work as well, but it going to require knocking...
  4. Ok, paypal isn't safe anymore...Possible Scam

    Well, I think it's a scam... Long story short, I am selling a truck for my son on craigslist. I get an email from someone asking if I was the original owner (which in the ad I said that it was a state owned vehicle, in addition to everything that has been done to it)... Then I get an email...
  5. Shop truck design

    I think the only thing I would change is on the rear corner. I would attempt to wrap the blue stripe around the corner, for a finished look.
  6. Shop truck design

    I like it. Clean and readable without a bunch of fills like a gawdy wrap. And you Aussies have some cool utes... nothing like we have here in the states.
  7. "No Guns Allowed" logo design challenge

    Ok, (2) things... (1) I have a muzzleloader, and it's not on the photo, so is that ok? I only get one shot, and give me about 30 seconds to reload, and I'm good... And (2)...Is that a star wars blaster on there? (on the left... 5 down and one over)
  8. So... what is a domain worth?

    And when i read up on it, it goes to an auction type of scenerio. If that happens, i read that itcan go for a lot more than the $150. And i am going to withhold the domain name for now. I will say that the name is a .com and the address is an easy to remember site, and it is spelled out...
  9. So... what is a domain worth?

    I have come across an elderly sign man that is selling off his shop, and I bought his collection of sign craft mags, and when I was spending some time with him, he mentioned his site. It's a great domain name, and I would like to try to buy it from him. It expires at the end of the month...
  10. Help with CNC service...

    Harbor Sales can do it pretty reasonable.
  11. Hey Fellers and Montroy.

    Ok. I hear what your saying... kinda...it was a little hard to read, but i personally called the 800# and asked the sales rep if my customer called and asked if they could purchase from Fellers, they would be set up with an account. She advised that my customers not find out who i purchase from...
  12. Hey Fellers and Montroy.

    I just called and was told that they have always sold to anyone. If someone calls up they will set up an account for them and sell to them. I called my sales rep and hope to hear from him tommorrow. I will tell him then that i wont be buying from them any more. And thats a bummer too... i...
  13. Gilding: NEWBIE

    Check out letterhead sign supply ( www.letterheadsignsupply.com and under the gold leaf secti....on look for shadow kaolin )... I picked this up from Francis Lansetti's site www.signsofgold.com and i spoke with him at the atlantic city ussc show.
  14. If you prefer Summa over Graphtec or Roland. I'm curious why? Fill me in

    I love Summa tech support. Best that I have ever had. Years ago, I worked at a national sign manufacturer, and they tasked me to purchase a plotter. I looked at them all, Ioline, Roland, Summa...more than I can remember... I chose the summa. We got the tagential 48", and it was one of the...
  15. Reversed Gold Leaf Vinyl..........................

    Ohhhh, I see. Yeah, I don't think there is anything else that will work. The only thing else positive I can think of is it's supposed to warm up this weekend, at least for us, and we are not that much further south that you, so maybe you will get some of that warmer air, and you can...
  16. Reversed Gold Leaf Vinyl..........................

    Out of curiosity, why do you say no to sign gold? Is there something about sign gold I don't know? I just flipped through the copy of sign craft I have beside me, and saw an ad for Real sign gold...is that any better?
  17. New Year, and thoughts are turned to improve my business.

    I hope this is the correct forum for this....but heregoes. When I started my business years ago, I was working at a sign company, and was asked to get my business license so that I could start “subcontracting”, to avoid my employer in paying more in taxes (yeah, I know the implications and how...
  18. Not exactly about installations, but rather......................................

    I wish I had bosses that thought like that. Years ago (like 16 -18 years ago) when I first started at a sign/billboard company in Mississippi, they would send us out before the incoming hurricanes to take down billboard panels. We would be the only ones on the road going into the city, and...
  19. Where to purchase Extira?

    I just got the newest issue of Sign Craft in, and was noticing that a good bit of signs were done with Extira. I did a quick search, and will sit down tonight to read through the posts using it. But my question is what supplier on the east coast carries Extira? How does it compare in...
  20. Another thing besides 4' flames that burns my butt...............................

    I have a roll of labels that I write the info on, (it looks something like : ORC 751-068 Grass Green / Winstead's Lawn Care / Fellers / 8/16/13 ). That way, I know the color, customer, and date purchased. A lot of times if I figure how much I have left on the roll and write it on the...
