    since your boss is all about the $$$, go to signs2trade. They are a MM here and can do a full color (with edge bleed) delivered to you for cheaper than you buying blanks and then applying the graphics. have tried stripping old vinyl off and it looks like POO-POO, banners are too cheap to re-use

  12. Do you care if your suppliers become your competitors?

    Exactly! perfect example http://www.b2sign.com/ (no connection to them) is also http://www.flags-banner.com/ Their wholesale only price is a $29 dollar difference for a feather banner with stake. with their retail price DRASTICALLY undercutting the MM here who also offer feather banners.
