That's true enough, still doesn't discount the fact nobody here ever got $800,000 for a design project.

Let's remember the important part, the part that should make you think, is why can the agency that did the project get $800,000 for the branding campaign and you struggle to get somebody to pay $250 for a logo design? Logo and branding may look bad to you (personally I like it all) but the...

They own the rights to their logo....you own your digital files of that logo. In this case I'd charge them for burning the logo onto a disk. I would not give them the job files. You can stand your ground and refuse to work with them but there's really not a "win" in doing that. The other...

What he said. $6. Keep in mind that the very nature of foam tape is that the longer it's on there the better it sticks. Signs that feel like they're barely held will be impossible to remove in a couple of days. The foam slowly conforms to the surfaces and sticks to every little nook and...

If he doesn't want nails in it he sure as hell doesn't want liquid nails stuck all over it. Liquid nails and silicone are horrendous when the signs are removed down the road.

Which is exactly why your landlord wants a personal guarantee. Far too many people go into business, rack up debt under the company name, then decide they don't want to be in business anymore and just walk away. With your name on the line you're less likely to screw the landlord over...and if...

It's my understanding that the plan is to have most of the country 1 day shipping from two different locations in the next few years. Right now I can get orders from three different warehouses next day with ground shipping. Eliminates the need to two employees in a warehouse if all they're...

I put 3/4" x 2" labels on the back of most of my banners, especially convention work. Coro signs get a 1/4" x 3" label on the back. I get quite a bit of repeat business out of them. The decals are small, unobtrusive, but the give enough info to get people to call me for re-orders. No, I...

I think it's incredibly cheesy.

For a lot of people that's the worst source ever.

We tried that once. We bought 4 dozen two ounce spray bottles, filled them all with Rapid Tac, printed our own labels for them and tried to sell them for $6.50 each. We weren't making much on them after figuring in the spray bottle cost, the cost of the Rapid Tac, the labels and the time it...

:ROFLMAO: But not so disgusted that she didn't drink half of it first.

You scare me Mosh.

Rule 1: Don't give away your craft. Rule 2: Damn sure don't give away your time, money, and talent in order to help somebody else play at their hobby.

There's a reason 99% of the wraps on the road today are atrocious.

This one time, I didn't answer the phone and lost a sale. That customer went to another local shop, ordered $1500 in banners, got them to bill him, then never paid them. Another time, I did answer the phone late one Friday. Customer offered to let me letter his racecar for free in exchange...

Glad it worked out for you!
