    Monday bump!

    The only one I know is bank Gothic for Battery. Love....Jill
  4. Weigh-Ins for the signs101 Losers (the good kind!)

    I have got to get back in the swing of things. I swear Rachael being so sick during her recent pregnancy compelled me to "sympathy eat" I now weigh 153!!!! Once the weather warms up we are putting the baby in a stroller and going for walks.
  5. More new "competition"!

    No, I check every time I go in there and the cards are always on the cork board. My best pal also checks them (she has a stack of my cards) This is a real recent development. I really don't feel threatened by either new "sign company". I especially thought it funny that the flyer had a big ol'...
  6. More new "competition"!

    I've seen more corosigns go up (why anyone would use white coro in the snow is beyond me, not that you can read them because they are crammed with 1" lines of text, all-caps) near me. Real long big ones that flop in the breeze. Yesterday when I was at my local hardware store (the one I worked...
  7. 48"x30" Magnet on a Van

    I saw this van late yesterday afternoon (bad cell phone pic) The mags were as big as the side panels, and you can see the buckling of the left back magnet.
  8. A Respected Member Could Use Some Help

    Bump! I also think it's cute that someone gave $101.
  9. 48"x30" Magnet on a Van

    For some reason this brings to mind the song "Blowin' in the Wind" because that's exactly what that thing is gonna do. Try to make her see common sense and sell her regular applied vehicle lettering. Love....Jill
  10. How do you help customers will low budgets out?

    I hate asking the dreaded budget question too and try to avoid it. You can't always tell by appearances either. I've had the rattiest looking customers pull up in a rustbucket and not quibble about what I charge then pay cash in advance. Usually it's the yuppies in the beamers who act like...
  11. Some truth for you guys.

    Those are great. Isn't it funny that no matter how much we strive to be unique, we all do mostly the same things? Gotta love being a human. Love....Jill
  12. Etched Glass

    I was sure I posted on one of these threads but now it's gone. And I can't even remember what I said. :(
  13. I'm in such a rut here....

    I like the old guy's suggestion.
  14. Sandwich board sign

    Holy cow! That's the part I don't like. hahaha guess my critique is totally pointless. :)
  15. Locate Utilities

    Back when I was married my hubby used to install signs (this was in the 90s) the fee to PA One call was $50 a year, well worth it. He was a dumb schmuck but he never dug without us calling PA One call first. I think it's just plain foolish to dig without such a service first, and if the customer...
  16. How do you help customers will low budgets out?

    I agree wholeheartedly with Darlak. I don't want to be known as the sob-story-give-a-break sign shop. I tell them what I charge, for a good design, decent layout, quality materials which will bring in business. If they don't understand that budgeting for a good sign (which is their best form of...
  17. Sandwich board sign

    Bob I dread saying this to you but I really hate those colors! Is the lighthouse really red in real life? Other than that it's a nice idea and a fine sign. I'd worry about the PVC here, but it would be nice to have a sturdy yet lightweight A-frame sign. Love....Jill
  18. Shop pet

    Here's our new shop pet. He's 7 weeks old and sometimes he really stinks up the place. Love....Jill
  19. Why I don't donate signs.

    I just give the receipt to let them know the value of the donation.
  20. Why I don't donate signs.

    I would have put my logo on the backs of the things and made them as the client requested. Whoever said early in this thread that no good deed goes unpunished is right. I donate only very rarely, to causes which matter to me, and I'm usually quiet about it. I do give the place to which I donated...
