I don't use any of it, word of mouth advertising (and the occasional goody branded with contact info) go a lot farther in my business. Facebook is decent for bars and restaurants and even retail stores to promote sales and generate interest on events ... twitter is one I would use and have used...

Something like this? http://www.123rf.com/photo_8872368_pig-mascot-costume-dance-striptease-in-hat.html

A few ... you could write off one beer of every type you buy since the bottles are "research" material ...

There are a lot better printers than that out there (and less expensive too) ... For all my personal printing I use overnight prints ... good stuff, inexpensive and a couple options available. oh and apperently Moo Printing is excellent ... a lot of my designer cronies rave about them. As for...

spray foam ... that is easy ... fiber glass resin ... i cant remember which one you want to use ... there are 2 different types, marine resin and polyester resin ... polyester resin is the stuff you find at home despot and the such. just test them and you can go to town with the resin ... i...

I don't even bother with 4over ... i use a few wholesalers that are about 25% cheaper than 4over for their basic stuff and even if i'm in a pinch I can get it done at overnight prints easier than 4over with no issues. Some people love them, some people hate them ... hell, I'm just glad my...

It happens, yesterday I had someone try to sell me their 'sign shop' about 12 tire kickers, someone who wanted me to design them some 'sick' graphics for their trailer but not want to pay an art fee for the time to design it, had 3 people come in and not understand that custom illustration costs...

You'll find it very hard to find anyone who can give you help with what you provided them in the OP. Nothing in it stands out to me as a helpfully specific, later on you mentioned it's a 4x8 panel and I know it's dibond, but 'basic vinyl, laminated and mounted' is pretty generic are you talking...

If a boss saw a post like this from his/her employee ... that employee would be fired. there is a place and time for everything ... not on facebook. I would have caught it on fire, then put the fire out with a sledge hammer.

I got nothing then. start a new post here http://signs101.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=282 so you're not hijacking someone elses thread. that way you can get fresh eyes on it.

I personally think you should do it ... if your shop is getting too small for the filling (not unlike a womans pants when she eats too many hohos) then go for it, just make sure everything is in writing ... makes it easy to deal with that way. Building a shop is great (Oh and OLD PAINT ...

And Joe.

+1 to grimco ... thing I missed the most about Orlando was the local Grimco supplier ... bought all my 3m and reflective blanks (even odd shaped blanks) from them. good quality.

Well he wasn't pleased when I pulled out a laptop and found used graphtecs for $500 and his computer used on ebay for $125 ... I told him I would completely buy him out for a grand and I would need to see his books to see signs of profit before I bought him out if he expected me to take his name...

if you use flexi 8 ... you'll need 8.6 or higher as for the designjet ... download the newest drivers from HP website and that should fix that ... other than that .. don't know what plotter you have ... make sure there are drivers that are windows 7 compliant.

+1 ... I'll probably be going to flexi pro or cocut in the next year or two in my home studio ... but i've been using flexi starter for about 5 years now ... I just import all my work in, it has the full cutting utility of flexi pro without costing a few grand ... even when I upgrade I'll still...

Question ... if the blanks are reflective, and the surface needs to be reflective ... and it's a road sign ... why not just use cut reflective vinyl? Unless you need to print black or flat colors on top ... should be your first step ... ***** to weed but easier than trying to re-invent the...

Is this stuff normal? dude came in, told me he was getting out of the business so he isn't so 'busy' and said he would sell me his 2 year old 'company' to me for $10k ... all he has is a 30" graphtec, a crappy computer with no real software in it and some half used supplies ... I mean seriously...

You install outside ... not hard to do. If you're doing a vehicle wrap you need a garage (partial or full) but rain and snow not with standing ... outside is fine. I mean crap and a half ... what happens if you have to go on site to install some graphics ... same conditions. Just sucks when...
