  1. What to do when a long time customer uses a competitor

    Sometimes for someone like me it is about being in the right place at the right time rather than you doing anything wrong....I might call on a potential client many times and sometimes that persistence pays off when I take work away from another supplier....
  2. Printing for personal use

    Ditto what Binki says but the key is permission.....As far as folks complaining, most folks that have complaints tell the world but not you directly...so not getting any complaints is not a very good measure....
  3. Printing for personal use

    Whether or not your client gets the rights to the artwork, it is "unethical" do anything with it without permission....It should not be printed for your own use and/or hung on your sample wall....
  4. It's come to this. Drumming up business

    So what kind of effort do you make to go see the people?....
  5. Just took the plunge and purchased a new shop

    site:signs101.com will limit results to this forum only......Without the site: you can still get links listed on other sites....
  6. It's come to this. Drumming up business

    I see CA is "Not Open for Business".......
  7. Converting in CS5 and compressing to send

    IMO you can not really convert the file......You can change a cdr. to ai. but there will still be a few things than do not "translate" 100%....Embedded filters will be imported as bitmaps and some get lost completely....
  8. It's come to this. Drumming up business

    Instead of giving 25% away, go see the people.....January is off to a great start for me.....No doubt because most of my competitors do not knock on doors and I do....

    Stahls maybe....
  10. Where to purchase pre-cut banner

    www.signsupply.com has 10 oz. 4 x 6 for 12.00....
  11. Can't you just find it on the internet?

    Thankfully, walk in clients like that rarely find me.....
  12. Anyone want to join and barter?!

    I barter from time to time.....100% for 100% and always on the books.....
  13. State of YOUR economy- year of 2011

    Sales up 7 1/2%....Margins up 6% due to better exchange rates and hungrier suppliers....Marketing expenses down 3% because of more re-orders from existing clients.....So despite the struggles of 2011, i will take another year like it....
  14. Making Decisions - Banners we Offer

    I think the prices are far different for "instant" versus for folks that have time to order in....Most of my sales are to folks that have time to wait....I do not compete on "quick" like they can get from a local shop...."Quick" usually can command a higher price...
  15. Making Decisions - Banners we Offer

    I get 108.00 for a 3 x 8 banner....But at that price I lose more sales than I keep....
  16. You *really* want your card to look like that?

    Not without an authorization to use the Subway logo.....
  17. No more Paypal for me!!!

    Not quite......Their gross revenue on payment processing was only 3.3 billion....And only about 20% of that (660 million) was carried to the bottom line..
  18. No more Paypal for me!!!

    Why would when you relieve the money matter for taxes?...This sounds like a 2011 sale in my mind but I have to admit i am no accountant...
  19. Does the search function work for anyone else?

    I just use Google site:signs101.com "whatever you want"....
  20. s101 Domain Special

    I do not want to use Go Daddy with them supporting SOPA.....Because I saw that your domain was registered with Go Daddy I thought I would ask....
