    Learn that you can do branding with no talent and still charge for it.
  3. One of "those" guys...software? What's that?

    get a heat press and do apparel vinyl on shirts. that is where the bank is.:thumb: otherwise, good luck on this. we spent nearly 2 years studying cutters before we got into it and our focus was and is still apparel vinyl. We do cut vinyl for decals, storefronts, and such but the garment biz...
  4. Credit card sales?

    That cc charge being illegal changed with the passing of the lastest legislation on cc's and the financial industry. Aside from that you could always offer a cash price and credit card price. Regardless, no one is coming after you on this unless you have so much business you don't need...
  5. What is the best way to grow your customer base?

    If you want to get on Radio, they often do trade. Keep in mind these are the smaller stations that don't have many listeners but you can get 'free' advertising that way. Here in Los Angeles you can get on the number one station in the country between 5am and 6am simply by feeding the morning...
  6. What is the best way to grow your customer base?

  7. Am i over thinking that a retail store front will work better?

    what, you can't do that at the shop too?
  8. Credit card sales?

    We went through Sam's Club which uses First Data. Costco has a similar program. We were taking checks through it but unless you have a large check volume then spending $20 a month for that service, telecheck, is not worth it. After a year with FD our Credit Union started offering merchant...
  9. I like this 419 scam

    Came across this one a few days ago. I like where this is heading. I bolded the parts I really like. I know the previous types would threaten prison time if you didn't finalize the transaction. Now they skip everything and just start there. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/10/28/419_terror/...
  10. Love these job offers by email

    I was confused by those phrases as well. All I could think of was responding 'Me love you long time' and 'I like work on you for to ever' I get a dozen work at home scam emails a week but this one has the most convoluted wording.
  11. Embroidery Equipment

    more heads is more work out the door in a shorter period of time. embroidery has a nice margin. tajima is considered the best. next up is swf, melco, toyota, brother, and after that everyone else. the process is mechanical to do the sewing. not complicated at all. digitizing is a...
  12. Am i over thinking that a retail store front will work better?

    We opened our retail space across the street from 2 other shops doing the same thing (they were next to each other) and a total of 8 places doing the same thing within 1/2 mile, basically all in the same business district. When I say retail I mean retail, not commercial or industrial. We have...

    Got this in the old email today. I just love the requirements.
  14. TV and Movie Remakes

    Last chance for 5-0. If they go 3 weeks in a row with using a spy satellite to solve a crime I am out. After all, this is a drama, not sci-fi.
  15. Shop Rate

    I think you need more dynamic pricing that a standard per hour or per day rate. Different customers have different price points. Your own volume also may determine your price. If you are fully booked then you can raise your rates on everyone or cut less profitable customers or jobs. At the same...

  17. Repo Sign?

    Well, you gotta love no-nonsense guys like that.
  18. Streaming Live Video From My Shop

    too many ads.
  19. Equipment Complaint

    We do a lot of vinyl on t's. If the design is complicated to weed then we screen print. If you properly prepare the shirt by preheating to remove the moisture the vinyl will stick forever. The only problems we encounter is on ribbed material or when someone wants to wear a shirt too small for...
  20. Repo Sign?

    A friend of mine had a similar dispute with not being paid. His solution was to go to the guys house and remove all of the outdoor fixtures such as lights, railings, anything that was screwed or bolted on. Funny thing this guy knew who did it and paid right away. The fixtures were returned...
