Don't do it. The purpose of all marketing communications (regardless of media) is about building a relationship between you (or your company, or brand) and the customer. If they don't know who you are, don't like you, don't respect or trust you... they aren't too likely to buy from you (or keep...

Hey! Happy Birthday, Old-timer! :)

Looks awesome. "Brewing" on the ribbon and "Co." sort of abandoned underneath looks weird. I was going to suggest putting both on the ribbon, in one line, same height and weight... but (thinking like someone who might be looking for a new beer to try) I think the ribbon should actually be used...

Hello peeps. In the last several months, I've had several "distress calls" from signs101'ers ( and others) from people whose businesses are in what I can only describe as serious trouble. I'm not a turnaround specialist, and I think "turnarounds" are frankly more difficult in small, or micro...

Sorry. It was late, I was tired... and I completely misread your post.

If you listen to Wal*Mart... then no. No there isn't. This quote comes to mind: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. ” ~Joseph Goebbels

Can I add a couple of theoretical "morals of the story"? If all you sell is "output" (a commodity) you better be prepared to (continuously) get alot more efficient - in every aspect of your business. It's not easy to be the "price leader". Customers loyal to low prices are easily converted by...

I've always been partial to 3M myself - for a variety of reasons. I was just tagging along on a tour that ND's brass were giving to a couple of new partners I wanted to introduce. (I'm pretty familiar with the place, myself - spent 18 years working for ND).

Will do. Ironically, I think was actually at ND Graphics the day you were there. The party I was with was being given a tour that passed through the demo room / training facility... where we stood around for quite a while, watching a bunch of people wrap a van. A couple of my old pals from 3M...

So... How did you make out?

G'day mate! A warm welcome from Canada. :Canada 2:

Ha! I bet jiarby's right. They just ran out of space to add sign making, and vehicle graphics.

Just time for a couple of quick comments... I agree that the shortest (and cheapest) distance between two points is to simply change the name to "Speed Needs Signs" (or "Advertising" or "Media", or something)... but that's not necessarily the right answer for every situation, and may not be for...

Lots of good advice above. I don't have much time to add to it at present, but would suggest that you take me up on my free, no obligation, 90 minute consultation offer. Check me out first. Sorry to sound like a commercial... not really my style. As I said, just pressed for time.

Call me crazy - but if you know your costs and can safely estimate the average design time... I see no reason why you can't feel comfortable offering a "custom" product for a fixed price.
