One of the reasons were going there. Connecticut has essentially started pushing small businesses out. Taxes, regulation, well pretty much everything here has gotten out of control. The taxes on the houses we looked at down there are what I pay for property tax here on my F250. Ridiculous.

Design is our strong point. And yes the banner and yard sign thing is a PITA but its what customers I have at the moment are asking for. At this point, I wont turn down anything. But in the future when I can pick and choose Id imagine well do less of it.

I dont want the public at my residence. You can have a business out of your home here but its limited on what is allowed. If it involves the public coming to your property,, its a no go. Th area of Tennessee however where we are moving,, its not an issue, at least as of now.

I just listed the business on Google. I just put the website up a few weeks ago so well see what that generates. What you said about the retail location is good advice. Ill use that for sure.

I'm considering using that a a selling point from the design aspect.even though my work on the SB involves Flames and Lasers :) . I will say the sign vendor they bring in for SB is quite incredible. They bring multiple hybrid UV printers and set up shop right inside the stadium. The signage...

Internet sales have been fairly busy but as I said earlier, Some of these outfits are practically giving the stuff away. Id rather stop swinging at pitches in the dirt and move on to more profitable projects. I cant understand how those outfits make money. It was one of the reasons I posted a...

I appreciate what your saying and will check w other shops. I do have knowledge but I have seen some of the work that people create on here and it is quite simply amazing. I aspire to be half as good as most on this board and appreciate everyone's help and opinions. S101 has been a great...

I was merely stating that I don't want to be idle while were waiting to relocate.. We have a business plan and follow it. I was simply looking for other ideas. In my business, I feel the best end product comes from collaborating w others, and such, I'm asking others.

Yes that's true but things can change and would rather be generating income instead of standing by so to speak.

That's what I mean, no one really knows we're out there to seek out. I've done a bunch of freebie stuff locally to schools etc to get the name out but what else?

No, Not at all Gino. Its just my perception I guess of what the client thinks.

Of course. Right now we make a lot of banners and yard signs, Problem is the online prices companies charge are brutally low.. I cant compete with that and it isn't worth my time trying to either. We also do dimensional/carved signs.

Currently, I am a special effects designer by trade. I design pyrotechnic and laser effects for the concert and television industry. If you've seen the Suoerbowl Halftime Show for the last 7 years or the MTV Video Music Awards then you've seen my work. Before this life however, I owned a sign...

Looking for some advice. Wife and I have really just finished getting our shop together. We are relocating next year to Tennessee so I didn't want to lease a storefront. We operate out of a workshop on our property. We've been selling our goods and services online at the moment and doing...

thanks for that.

My first font post:) Have to reproduce some labels for refurbished speakers. Can anyone identify this? Thanks in advance.

I agree. I had a customer complain. Im overthinking it. Ill stick w rolling them.

Right now I ship them rolled typically in a 5"x 5"x 48" box.

Sorry about that. Normal everyday, 3x6 / 4x8 etc. . I have been shipping these rolled but because of the length of the box, its pricey. I see that larger manufacturers ship them folded.
