Want to give Mike at Insignia another shout.
We had a customer bring us the artwork on 5/3. After cleaning everything up and doing the layout, I sent it to Mike on 5/18. Banners arrived at our shop today. Customer just picked them up.
These were the mesh type. Three total. 66 x 4 -- 43 x 4...
We outsourse those. The company has a two week lead time after the client accepts the proof. No exceptions.
They will knock a replica out of foam and get it to us in a couple of days with a rush charge if the client absolutely has to have something for an event. They look just like real deal...
We're busier than all get out right now. Almost every year since we've been in business, we had a slow period from Thanksgiving to the first of the year. Not so this time.
Election year has helped a bunch. Seemed all the candidates were all on the wagon about buying their signs local. We had...

I had listed all of the job duties expected of the employee. Along with "Must have at least two years experience" with the hands on part of the job. Also had in it about the use of power tools.
Of the replies we got, only two came close to what the ad stated. This made it a heck of alot easier...
What would be the proper wording when placing an ad for an employee that would do everything from basic design to layout to install.
I didn't want to use the term "Shop Monkey" for fear of not being ploitically correct, but basically this is it.
I tried the Graphic Designer/Shop Worker route...
I don't get this part. If you don't make any mistakes and all goes well with the order, do you reduce the price for the customer?
I don't build a mistake factor into my pricing. If we make a mistake, we bite the bullet and might lose some money on that job. Our profit from an order is figured...
