  1. Exit Strategy for Sign Business

    Just from personal experience your best bet may be to sell it to a current employee. I bought my shop from the previous owners for more than anyone in their right mind would have given them. I worked in it 16 years, I knew it's potential, all the customers were used to dealing with me, and I...
  2. Poor business strategy

    When it comes to "firing" customers we firmly believe in pricing them high. Some customers go far and above pains in the ass. They can't make decisions, they constantly change decisions, they make unrealistic demands and they complain when all of their demands are met. We price them high to...
  3. Exit Strategy for Sign Business

    Customer list is worthless unless there are some iron-clad contracts in place for future work, something most sign shops won't have.
  4. Big squeegee

    Yeah, every time I mount a 4x8 print in five minutes I think about the years we spent applying them wet at the end of the day so they'd have time to dry out overnight.
  5. football field signage - need solutions

    Misread it twice unless they've got dang small football fields around there. :ROFLMAO:

  7. QR Codes in the Sign Biz

    Okay, I admit we didn't put a whole lot of thought into it when we first did it but it's working for us. We used to use the label in my signature with the addition of the phone number.
  8. QR Codes in the Sign Biz

    We've been sticking them on the back of our signs for a couple of months now and we're actually getting a noticeable response from them. I'm not exactly tech-savvy, I barely use the features on my smart phone, but I find myself scanning them all the time....it's a brilliantly simple way to...
  9. To share or not to share? customer logo

    Send it to them.
  10. Can we talk about my logos?

    I missed the part about them being 10-15 years old. Please allow me to briefly critique this whole thing then: WHY ARE YOU HERE FISHING FOR AN ARGUMENT? You post some crap that you did 15 years ago, make a few comments about them not being current and tell us you've updated them but don't...
  11. Can we talk about my logos?

    Damn boy, talk about somebody begging for abuse. The NESC Logo: ...having the text outside the oval at the top and inside the oval at the bottom looks ridiculous. It destroys any chance you had of achieving balance and harmony. ...the shadow on the NESC is black....except for that sliver at...
  12. Can we talk about my logos?

    "THE PROP FACTORY" The stars shooting out of the stack aren't following the path they'd take if they'd actually come out of the stack. They come off at a weird angle instead of straight up the arcing over. It's petty I know but you're the one who asked.
  13. How do I get this powerpoint file into Flexi

    Call them back and tell them you were mistaken, you need a graphics file and not a video file.
  14. Where can I get this

    I doubt Dave Dorsey, president of Aurora Graphics, would notice....he hasn't been back since all that happened.
  15. Where can I get this

    What?! Doug, Doug, Doug....don't you remember that Dave Dorsey, President of Aurora Graphics, doesn't allow links to his business from this site? Or something like that, I may have muddled up the details but I still fear Dave Dorsey.
  16. $75,000

    There's a hell of a lot more to branding than just hacking out a logo design. I do love the part where they admit that Pensacola has been using "Florida's Warmest Welcome" as a slogan for years but never bothered to trademark it. Since it wasn't trademarked Pompano Beach felt it was fair game...
  17. You can kiss your T-mobile plan goodbye...

    Hey, have I mentioned to everyone how cool the new Android phones I got in December for me, my wife and my mother in law are? Personally I've been really happy with T-Mobile and the family plan we're on. The rates are good, the connections are good.
  18. Farmers Market Logo

    By the way....they spell it FARMERS' according to their facebook page. I looked it up last night when I was playing with it and that's the only reference I could find. Of course I still did it wrong but whatever.
  19. Farmers Market Logo

    Oh come on. Are you serious? You're actually willing to admit you're new at logo design but you think you're ready to start "offering that service"?! You're going to offer to create an image for a company that they can use to identify themselves to potential customers? Edited to start my...
