The manufacturer's store their vinyl on it's side. It really has to sit for a very long time before it will oval. I get sitting on material for a year or two if it's colored cut vinyl. Some colors move slow. But printed media sitting on a rack long enough to start to oval just needs to be thrown...

I agree with you. Our meeting currently has around 20 people in it. We all stand in a big circle. When there are 40 of us in the meeting, it will be much harder. We'll likely need to break it apart. We have worthless meetings from time to time, and we have really really productive ones from...

I don't think those brackets will be the weak point. In other words, they should last as long as the sign or longer. Make sure you used enough of them. Every 18 inches or so will help the lifespan of the whole product.

It's easy to get bogged down in meetings. Standing during meetings is the first way to help them shorten up. Yes, 100% of our day-shift staff is in the meeting. It's about 25 total minutes on most days. It is a significant cost for sure, and it's not really a good option for every company, but...

First, let me say that how you figure this out is part of your business's "Secret Sauce" there isn't a truly correct answer here, just what works for you. I think you're on a good path. It's good that you have a goal of clearing $350k after cost of goods. Your idea of $180/hr shop rate seems...

We go over customer feedback, late jobs, daily sales, all of it in a daily meeting with the whole company. Everyday at 10:35 am. The way I see it, pointing fingers is kind of part of the game. We need the people who messed up to admit it. Then we try hard to move on. I mess up all the time...

With such price volatility price increases can seem like a ruse. Not all suppliers raise their prices at the same time. Some are afraid to and delay, some are using up old stock. Some raise prices proactively to account for future volatility. In the end, the prices are certainly going up this...

So we do buy through our distributor (Einstein Graphics), but the supply delays are coming from Canon themselves. We speak directly to the Canon channel sales manager. Our stuff just doesn't leave their warehouse. Our current issue is that we have been waiting for matrix cleaning foam since...

This is another way to do it for sure, and while it achieves the same thing it feels a little less harsh on a customer. It's pretty much all credit card today, but for our first 5 years in wholesale, we offered a 1.5% discount if pre-paying with a check.

Are you working with a major carrier, or independent broker? I have had pretty good luck with larger independent brokers. They seem to understand how to play the game a little better and will shop more if something comes back with an issue.

Just got word that there are some pretty serious increases coming again! Uhg.

This. Would love to help, but your post seems kind of vague. Maybe I just don't understand, which is entirely possible. The stuff I don't know could fill a..... well honestly, I am not sure how big of a venue I would need, because I just don't know....

There is certainly a cost in collecting payment. Going to the bank, dealing with returned checks, chasing down checks, mailing invoices. In the end, in some cases, it might actually be a little cheaper just to take the card. As we grow in size, and we hire people to do things that I used to do...

So you're looking for vector cut files? The artwork?
