Just contact the manufacturer and get a referral. If you're looking for a technician that is looking to pick up side work, I wouldn't hold my breath. Most techs will not jeopardize their career to pick up a few extra $$ on the side. Checkers

If you're familiar with EstiMate, get it and use it. The learning curve will be minimal. That being said, there are many programs available that basically do the same thing. If you use the search button, you'll find a lot of good research/reading materials. Checkers

Hiya Dennis, Although I don't like cold calling from either side of the phone line, it can work for you. Advertising is basically a numbers game. The more exposure you get, the better chance you have at getting a sale. However, like sarge and others have pointed out, there may be better methods...

From my experience, when the manufacturers start pushing their products and offering "deals", change is coming real soon - normally, right after you make your purchase. This time, it might be an act of desperation though. Here in the USA, prices in general will be going up on nearly all...

Don't forget that you should use a thicker substrate for a 2 sided sign versus a one sided sign. I would normally use 1.5" for single sided and 2"+ for double sided, but it depends on the material, budget and design. Checkers

Oh Gawd Jim, I hope you're going to offer us a better website than this... http://signmaking-superstore.de/ Although I appreciate another company for embracing the wrap industry the way they did, I did not care for the "gangsta" brand they put forth. I'm anxious to see what you have coming...

Hey OP, I would enjoy phone calls like that - when I have the time. An important rule of growing any business is to make contact with your prospective clients. After talking with the client and determining their needs, I can then decide if I want to play the "price match" game. Although it's...

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Some, if not most, of the franchise shops (and many independents too) invested their life savings and taken on a lot of debt to establish their business. Now they're stuck a huge nut to crack every month. So, they'll do whatever it takes to make ends...

It looks like a butchered copy of a letterhead font. The "T" reminds me of Boston Truckstyle, but I'm not sure of the others. www.letterheadfonts.com Checkers

HDU has it's uses, but it does need internal support if it's hanging or mounted between posts. I'm still a fan of good quality MDO. But, I have used PVC for hanging signs too. Checkers

With all of the estimate and price questions here, I'm surprised that only a few people mentioned estimating or bookkeeping software. For business, my favorites are: Corel, EstiMate, QuickBooks and SeaMonkey suite which is Netscape with a new look. I still use and prefer M$ Office because I...

How long is a piece of rope? Since no two printers, images or profiles are exactly the same, ink coverage on the print will vary. A light colored image will use less ink than a dark image. If you're just starting out, I would estimate 500ml of ink will cover about 500 sq ft of media for...

Temperature and humidity can have a dramatic affect on both the media and laminate. Some more than others though. Look what heat does to intermediate film - it shrinks. Also, film with a paper liner can act like a sponge and expand or contract from humidity too. The real concern is, over a...

And you still use this program? Quit your complaining and replace it with a better program - Seriously! Just like a bad customer or employee, bad software or hardware needs to be fired too. Checkers

There are many risks and rewards of running your own business. In theory, the higher the risk, the better the reward. For me, I had several things fall into place at the right time. So, the reward outweighed the risk. However, if you're going to jump in, you better have a good plan. Do a...

Well, I'm still "dancin' here and getting nowhere quick and, unfortunately, i think I''m getting to the end of my rope. Despite practicing extremely safe surfing habits, I still managed to catch this bug and, from what I can tell, it appears to have happened when I decided to get the latest and...
