they aren't available yet. I emailed their corporate offices a few weeks ago. they said they will email me back when the branding package is ready. I think its BS that they introduced a new logo and brand identity before they had the package ready for their franchises to use.

When do you cancel installs? In light rain, is that an automatic reschedule of any outdoor work? We have to install a 4x8 carved sign on a facade, and we'll be using a scissor lift (which we rent). The top of the sign is about 12-13' off the ground, and we're hanging it with a french cleat...

I can make suggestions when I see the layout... there are a lot of different ways to register vinyl, but it really depends on what the sign looks like.

Eh. We are busier than ever and we get fewer "that's just the way its got to be" clients than we used to. BUT we also weathered the storm. All of the sign franchises near me (3 of them) went out of business in the past few years. The other smaller companies have been around for 30+ years and...

Why not just add that in to their invoice? Like, if they charge you $250 a year for the ability to be paid, then you charge them a $300 Admin Fee for doing additional paperwork and covering the fee.

Our biggest clients have been those that just walked in. We've considered moving many times, but our rent is very reasonable and we'd have to move out of the area to find something better than what we have now. We honestly don't get too many tire kickers. There a flea market a few miles down...

We are in a small strip mall. There is a print shop at the far end who is impossible to do work with so we just don't get along. A few years ago the owner stormed into our store demanding that we stop selling business cards, and we just were like "whatever dude, go away." Its not like we...

current business partner, former life partner... literally never taking a vacation with only me when he was able to close up a few days every year to go away with his family, maybe had something to do with it. List of places he refused to go: Hawaii, Portland Oregon, and Martha's Vineyard...

My partner refuses to take a real vacation, but that is his problem, not mine. I schedule vacations when I know we are less busy, and tell my big clients in advance. I try to take long weekends whenever I can.

we're busy, and most of it is truck lettering. We picked up a few accounts in the past 2 years who are getting multiple new trucks every few months, so that is good money coming in. Right at the beginning of the year my client called me to say he was about to make it rain... He had 9 trucks to...

we emailed them last week and they haven't responded.

We have a ustech cold laminator and its been great. But after 4 years of regular use, the rollers no longer have grip, its almost as if the paper back of the vinyl/laminate have burnished them smooth. They are still smooth (no nicks) and round, but even with good pressure, material doesn't...

nevermind. derrr. here you go. I just looked at it, and its not a very nice vector. I don't remember if I made it or found it like that (its in a file from 4 years ago.) I'm going to guess I downloaded it from somewhere because my vectors are usually way nicer :) Anyway, its a start, you can...

pm me your email, i can't figure out how to attach a PDF here

You can stop using the wholesaler if you believe they are undercutting you. But can you find out if this trade shop has a retail price list? There are two local "wholesale to trade" shops near me that have done the exact same thing. One literally posts their wholesale rates on their website...

Hi Gino, would you mind sharing that supplier's info? thanks.

Harbor Sales has 3 rolls of 15"x10yd in stock

"You don’t need the pdf file." Is the response I got from a client today. She sent me two different jpg versions of a poster that were clearly designed by someone who knows what they are doing. One had gradients and the other didn't and I guarantee if she asked it would have been no problem to...

I think I saw something like that at signwarehouse.
