  6. Discussion What is different?

    The only advantages we have left over online is design and installation. There are lots of clients who still want someone to listen to what they need and produce a professional design. And until Amazon puts those buckets on their trucks (won't be surprised) we still have the advantage of...

  8. Cash N Carry vs Install

    I sell ready to install lettering, have a group of truck guys that buy them all the time, mostly just about 12"x24". They give me the measurements, I give them a proof. They get a cheap squeege and some instructions I copied somehere years ago.
  9. copyright question

    Charging or not charging has nothing to do with it. But to do a single logo for someone on their vehicle or whatever has a very very low chance of getting noticed. I wouldn't post a photo though.

We have a small job to do and no architect involved so I was wondering if anyone had a supplier that has quick turn arounds...
  19. Sooo... why are rounds larger than flats?
