  1. Mortgage Lending Logo

    Is that not the point of this site? to post your work for review among your peers, hopefully getting helpful tips along the way? Me thinks you've started hitting the bottle a bit earlier than usual today.....
  2. Mortgage Lending Logo

    Real estate people actually pay for design work in your neck of the woods? Man I gotta move the shop! Cheapest, least loyal clients out there!
  3. Mortgage Lending Logo

    The one on the right is my favorite so far, my only comment is that due to the detail, it won't reproduce well in some mediums such as embroidery & cut vinyl.
  4. How do you deal with potential legal issues?

    i think you are misunderstanding, no one is saying you don't need insurance, but having insurance does not make up for a lack of knowledge. If you install a sign that you are not qualified to install or the install is not deemed to be reasonably done and the sign falls down and hurts/kills...
  5. Sign quoting / Job Tracking software solutions

    I can't speak for everyone, but we track the progress of a job, so everyone in the shop can quickly tell where any job stands. I.E. -John's Barbershop sign is ready for installation - We're waiting on acrylic for Jim's garage sign face - while i'm ordering vinyl for Jim's sign, I can also order...
  6. Sign quoting / Job Tracking software solutions

    I agree, I'm not a huge fan of the monthly subscription model, I don't have any issues with the cloud. My biggest pet peeve with all the software I've looked at is the price per user, in our shop we have 1-2 people quoting/creating work orders, however there are other people who need access...
  7. Display hardware supplier sells direct???

    This is the way to do it!
  8. 2000 store install pricing

    Also, have you thought of something like wrappermapper.com, there are installers all over the country who you could sub out to.
  9. 2000 store install pricing

    I would think long and hard about this, you are basing your schedule on the cabinet installers, Like someone else said, I can't imagine a cabinet installer crew installing 5 locations a day, it's just not going to happen, and if they don't meet their quota, your profit goes down the drain...
  10. outstanding invoices

    I'm not comfortable getting a huge loan from the bank to do a job for a customer, especially a new customer, at the end of the day, if the client files bankruptcy, you are still an unsecured creditor and therefore at the bottom of the totem pole for getting paid (if they even have any money left...

    I've never heard of this Prevailing Wage, can you elaborate? Edit: Nevermind I assume it's an american thing.
  12. outstanding invoices

    We do this for some clients, other clients won't accept an invoice for a PO that has not been received in their system, so we can't invoice until the job had been delivered. on another note, we got a request to quote on an interior signage job for a new hospital, HUGE job, but the client would...
  13. outstanding invoices

    This is not always an option, i would estimate that 85% of our clients have net 30 or net 60 terms with us. Sure some walk-in off the street pays 100% up front, but the reality is, if you deal with large companies, you have to accept their terms, if we tried to insist that General Electric pays...
  14. Looking for advise / info on wrap vinyl and laminate leaving scratch marks on surface

    vinyl is not the proper product for this application, no matter what you do it will look like garbage in 6 months.
  15. Early Christmas present!

    The tipping point for us was the fact that the rolls roller came out with the entry level model, we looked at others, but I couldn't justify paying 2x the price for a light table and a larger work area. as far as I know the rolls roller is the only one to offer a "stripped down" version. Size...

    Glad I could be of service! You answered your own question in your post, AT75 works well or you in the past, so keep using it....
