  5. Virus Software?

    Micro$oft has a free anti virus software calles security essentials. We will probably switch to them as we purchase new computers. Eset has been very good for us and has a small footprint but did have a few false alarms over the last year. Mcafee was ok until a few years ago, it may have...
  6. Hand made calligraphy is alive and well, but should cities pay for it?

    The story is a little old but it is still going on. You have to go half way into the story to read about the calligraphy part. I did like the part about not being able to hire another billboard inspector but they can spend the money on the certificates. L.A. City Hall Spends $1 Million on...

  8. Favorite Quote from a Customer Today

    We are closed but still working about 9:30pm and a woman is pounding on the door. I open up and she asks how much for a pair of magnetic car signs. Give her the price and the answer is.... "I get them for less from someone else. He doesn't do them right and they fall off. I think I will go back...
  9. Adding customers to your mailing list?

    Two of our competitors sent us emails, one promoting their business and another discussing details of a project they were working on (we were included in error) but both of them use cc rather than bcc or individual emails to us and we scored the entire customer list from the first one and the...
  10. Cutting problems

    Go to the Braille Institute. They have a store with some great stuff. We got a 7.5 diopter mangifier and a 3x lighted magnifer from them. The 3x lighted shows true colors with a very intense light for a small package and the 7.5 magnifier is great for small items such as looking at the blades or...
  11. why are some files so heavily masked?

    We just went through this with someone. We find that the worst artwork comes from someone who has a product they want to sell and they do their own artwork to save money. Some of them are very creative but as mentioned, they don't understand the requirements for different applications of the...

  13. misdirected anger at lowballers

    Hate you or anyone like you? Nope. Don't care. We even do subbed work for basement shops that don't have the proper business license or pay taxes. We charge them sales tax and a little higher than wholesale but it is just part of the game. Some of our best customers are those that tried what you...

  15. misdirected anger at lowballers

    The sellers permit is a tax collection vehicle in California. If granting an exclusive area is illegal then several of our vendors master companies are in violation of the law as well as any number of property owners that limit the types and quantities of business on their property. I don't see...
  16. misdirected anger at lowballers

    Still, I am not complaining, just observing. Some vendors control the market channels. Here are some examples. American Apparel will sell only certain items to us because we are an apparel decorator, not a retail store. I can buy t's, and the like from them but not bathing suits and items...
  17. misdirected anger at lowballers

    more of an observation of a bunch of pissing and moaning in this forum about customers that want lower prices and competitors that are priced lower. if you want reform then our vendors have to respect the channels and market segments. that is all.... on the bright side, those are the posts i...
  18. misdirected anger at lowballers

    Just reading a thread on some of the price shock some customers have and the complaints about low ball prices from some who have entered the sign business but whose fault is it really? My number one complaint is that our vendors will sell to just about anyone. Anyone can buy a cutter, printer...

  20. Just got the T-Shirt Scam

    They over pay to cover shipping for the goods with a stolen credit card and have you pay their shipping agent with your credit card or via western union and then no one ever shows up to pick up the goods and your money for the shipping is gone and the cc transaction they paid with gets charged...
