  1. I'm Done.

    We just put out the lights and other decorations on the front of the shop today. Perfect weather for it, I'm glad it's done. I don't like the snow I see in your pic, you can keep that for now.
  2. Gran Turismo?

    Not judging, but for the same money you could buy a beater and run it at your local dirt track. Ya can't get more real than that! Can you tell I don't have any game systems? lol
  3. Why charge more than VistaPrint

    Yet he want's to bust your balls on price? Your work should speak for it's self. You shouldn't have to keep selling yourself to old customers, doing a great job and offering excellent service will do that for you.
  4. Credit card sales?

    I agree. It's all in the wording.
  5. Credit card sales?

    I believe if you want to add a charge you had better make sure to charge it as a "Credit Card Lost Cash Discount". I believe it's illegal to past the processing fee's along to the customer?
  6. What is the best way to grow your customer base?

    +1 for what Joe said. Word of mouth is the best form of advertising for what your doing. I would avoid high dollar ads such as TV, Radio and Newspaper. The ROI is terrible!! Be focused on who you want to sell to. We focus on local business. Print up some gift certificates to hand out to the...
  7. Ever been out of white vinyl and use non-printed digital vinyl in place?

    I don't see why not. If you have a concern go ahead and laminate it. Prob overkill but it'll give you peace of mind.
  8. Marker board vinyl?

    We use 210 lam. I don't know about dry erase but it works great with wet erase and doesn't leave a haze. We mount it on sintra or dibond, depending on the application.
  9. Lost Job but I have a Roland Versacamm VP540

    and Welcome from NY
  10. Lost Job but I have a Roland Versacamm VP540

    Adtech...it's not fear. It's the balls it takes for someone to walk into a room full of people that have put years into learning and making this their living and just asking for a handout without even taking the time to do any research on their own. And yes...I know the OP can't see this from...
  11. Streaming Live Video From My Shop

    Cool, I get to finally see whats going on and there's just some guy standing at the counter. Bummer. lol At least he seems to be enjoying the 64 ounces of what ever it is he's drinking
  12. Embroidery Equipment

    Mosh, You'll know this better than anyone...do you have a market? How often do you get asked for embroidery? I know it's something you could up sell to your current customers, but would they pay for it. Maybe sub it out to see if it's worth wile. Couple screen shops that I talk with that started...
  13. Equipment Complaint

    Ugh...Ink, not paint. Sorry...that drives me crazy. LOL
  14. What's with these tire kickers?

    Yup, nice and easy goin till they don't like the position or a shade of vinyl. Cash always before even cutting the doors, or doing the design.
  15. Do you get bored?

    Mostly just rot and feed your pet worms
  16. Do you get bored?

    Bored with doing the same things. Wouldn't mind trying my hand at 4 color process printing or maybe even some dimensional signs...just don't have the time because we are so busy, which is good. So maybe it's not so much boredom as it is burnout.
  17. Do you get bored?

    I've been threatening to get a grill and cookout for some time now, I love grilling and plan to build a small shed by the house just so I can cook year round, so maybe a trip to Lowes...right now :-) We did pumpkins last year and haven't done any yet, on a side note I grow a few 100 every year...
  18. Do you get bored?

    I don't remember the last time I weeded anything. Employees handle that task. I do the bulk (98%) of the screen printing and 100% of the sea of paperwork.
  19. Do you get bored?

    Coming up on having my business going for 10 years now. We don't offer the world at the shop, we keep it simple and quick. Six and four color screen printing presses, a few heat presses, a few plotters and a 30" Versacamm. For the most part we're busy with very little (if any, knock on wood)...
  20. Cheesy Franchise?

    There are none in my state. Time to get outta the sign biz and open a restaurant, I mean how hard can it be when the people cook their own food. Sounds like easy money!!!
