    This will help, a few things I would suggest: May is too late to start on the grad signs. If you are going to work with school districts, you should start now. We'll print a couple hundred thousand of them before May. https://www.firesprint.com/graduation/products/ Back when we were retail...

  12. Just In Am Robert Addo

    Welcome! Probably the biggest industry associations are SGIA and ISA based in the US here. In Europe, there's FESPA. I do believe that the vast majority of us learn by doing. We follow around someone else that knows a little more than we do (If we're lucky), and make a bunch of mistakes along...

  20. Be More Profitable #1

    I am currently reading Profit First by Mike Michalowicz. The basic premise is that we should take our profit first, set that aside, then pay the bills with the rest. If we do it this way, we get more focused and frugal - accomplishing the same goals with less. It's a good read for a business...
