  1. Very annoyed.

    Absolutely and completely right. The renewed customer is the one who makes your profit. Building up a renewing client list is a secret. This is the results of using a good marketing model and a good business model. We cannot do it all. Some work makes big bucks. Go for the work that makes big...
  2. Very annoyed.

    a phone call or an email with a photo is not an info call. it is a speculation call. The plan of attack is to turn that spec call into an info call. That leads to an appointment. The appointment turns into a sale. Proceeding in any other order will always lead back to a speculation sales call...

  8. Johnny Bench wants a Wrap ! Who wants to tackle this one ?

    Especially when the key secret decoder word is used. "kindly": once that work pops into play in an email it is a guaranteed scamm.
  9. Honor among thieves. Who is the competition?

    And there it is.. Tims post is a good pointer. The old guys were hating on the competition (takers) and mercenaries (thieves) and striving on existing on a higher plane..
  10. Honor among thieves. Who is the competition?

    Some 55 years ago I first saw the magic flowing from the brush of a sign painter. I remember being so completely fascinated that I watched him until he was done with the panel. It must have taken at least an hour or more. That says something about the magic for a 7 yr old to stand mesmerized for...

  12. What would you charge?

  15. SignCraft magazine is letting me down

    Right on the money. There are plenty of down home shops doing some really good stuff. But I would guess most of them do not have the time or desire to write an article with photos. And then have to listen to some one pick it apart because the kerning was just off 1/4 of an inch or the color...
  16. Fellers Catalog

    He "is" the brand. Its a great marketing scheme. When will some of us learn to emulate his branding scheme? His brand sells other peoples products. What does he have left to show for his work? He has his brand and he works it well. His photo is his logo. Most of us put our logo on every thing so...
  17. adobe illustrator CC ?

    I went to a seminar in Nov. All software packages there went to the subscription model. If I subscribed to all the packages it would cost about $1500 a month. Very few average users could afford or willing to pay for an increase of $1500 a month in expenses. Needless to say,, the vendors were...

    the challange is,,,, what is the product? How can one ID the product samples without some kind of label in the first place.
  19. Hello there boys and gals, advise please.

    make sure you heat press is even heat all the way across where you want to press it. Or you will ruin a shirt or two. I would charge the same as a screen printer.. I do not have much call for this any more. In fact I still have about 8 rolls of the flex material here. and I have a heat...
