  1. Ugh, vendor had a fire. No backup

    Just an update. I had 4 alternates. The biggest one said 'F Off' in so many words. Basically the same thing they said 15 years ago when we started selling LJ's which is why we didn't set up an account with them. We just were not big enough for them. Two have not responded and the 4th will have...
  2. Ugh, vendor had a fire. No backup

    The only good side of this is nobody was killed or injured. The fire happened overnight right after Easter. The bad news is there were 4 days of production ready to ship that were sitting in that facility. The jackets we sell are high quality wool and real leather. They are lifetime jackets if...
  3. Ugh, vendor had a fire. No backup

    Holloway will survive. Custom orders is only one part of their business but you are only a Senior once. This is taking a quarter million custom jackets off the market as well as all custom sports uniforms so while baseball/softball season may be ok, football, basketball, volleyball, soccer are...
  4. Ugh, vendor had a fire. No backup

    Well, I am going to start making calls tonight to my customers who won't have a jacket for at least another 6 months and that is being optimistic. Some of them have already waited 3 months.
  5. Printing on Cling

    If you don't have white ink then change your print to uni directional. Make sure you are using the highest quality. You may also be able to experiment with color adjustment but do those first 2 and then see how it works out.
  6. Ugh, vendor had a fire. No backup

    Right now I have 3 places I think I can get jackets but the process starts all over and I had net terms with my vendor so I may have to pay up front just to place the order. Also, at least 2 of them does not have all of the options our current vendor has so what I can replace without changing...
  7. Ugh, vendor had a fire. No backup

    Well our vendor for Letterman Jackets had a fire in their only facility that makes them. All inventory is assumed lost either by fire or damage from the fire. They can't even tell me if any of my pending jobs shipped because they don't have backups of their computer system at the facility. Now...
  8. Corel 22 font selection is very sluggish

    My computer is new, SSD drive, Fonts stored on an NAS with SSD drives and selecting a font in Corel is very very slow and sluggish. I have been searching for a way to speed it up. Are there any tricks I can teach this dog to make it faster?
  9. Lettering on metal cups

    Dye sub should not be used in a dish washer no matter what anyone says. It will otherwise hold up unless exposed to sunlight.

    It's actually going to be that word on hats. Unfortunatly I only have the picture to work off of.

  15. Best repeat customer ever

    Got a call yesterday from someone who said he used us for embroidery before and wanted to repeat his order. I asked his name and looked up his artwork which was dated 12/23/2011. Hmm, so I look up his invoice and he had a single order for 3 jackets with just his name on them. I informed him it...

    Cutmaster integrates with Corel and probably AI. It is pretty easy to use.

    We just raise our prices when material costs go up. That is pretty much it.

  19. Zelle scams keep popping up

    Bank of America sent an email today warning of scams with Zelle. They created the app along with Wells Fargo. Along with that are a few more news stories of scams. Typical, I over pay you with a check and ask you to transfer the money to me via a cash app. Red flags all over the place on that one.
  20. ISO Ideas for shop walls...

    When we had a retail storefront we had a Wall of Fame for our best customers. We would put a decal on the wall (it was a wall of mirrors from the previous business, a dance or martial arts studio or something like that) with the customer logo. It was a big hit with our customers.
