  2. Best way to advertise

    lol u crack me up. it was quite a while ago and if i remember correctly it was an idea that you had and nothing that you have done...i can't imagine you are out making too many cold calls at this point in your career. what you posted was a way to overcome rejection and engage the small...

  4. Best way to advertise

    a couple of other things that i want to add.. another problem that i see constantly in our industry when i am hired by a sign company to come in and help them advertise their company more effectively is that it is very hard for a sign company to talk their clients into doing things that you...
  5. Starting a new business

    :banghead: i think it is a great time for isign's quote that i just love ' you pay your money and you take your chances' if you want to get started on the right foot..take the time to write a business plan. work through what you are going to do, how you are going to do, how you are going...

  7. Anyone have pictures of signs featuring a big ear for a hearing aid shop?

    i'm laughing to m'self. i had a very loyal client that did hearing tests and sold hearing aids. they were amazingly successful. about every 5yrs they did a fairly major remodel of the outside of their building and we would replace the signs every remodel and every remodel they were bigger and...
  8. Best way to advertise

    there is no one best way. it is important to constantly and consistently use multiple means to promote yourself, you should have business cards, brochures, post cards, etc that are all identifiable as being from the same company..pieces that work together. you should have a website. if...

  10. Getting into screen printing coro signs

    it is frustrating to me to continuously see business owners fall into the most common trap that i see in our trade and that is the trap of creating a job for themselves versus creating and building a business..the trap of looking at and working in a direction that they are generating hourly...
  11. Getting into screen printing coro signs

    see and then i have to come in and disagree..here is my input if you are wanting to screenprint. you either need to keep it super simple, doing smaller quantities or you need to go full tilt and print by the pallet. those are the ways i have made money screenprinting either doing small...
  12. Why do I get all the dummies as customers..

    i wouldnt have a problem writing the letter..it might just be easier than having back and forth conversations that aren't really going to change the facts. in the letter i would state that what you replaced was a non formed face, that what you quoted and what you provided was a like product...

    YEAH! BIG CLAPPING MAD PROPS and all that stuff. I am so proud of someone with enough sense to listen...I'm not being sarcastic Jamey it is just that NO ONE ever listens and then they end up in over their head losing money on a project they were warned not to touch. Right On...

    there are So many different ways i have done projects like this depending on the situation, customer demands/worries, etc. but if the letters are going to be mounted at a height that it won't make a difference mount these bad boys on rails and be done with it...quick and easy.
