Long time customer, and a good guy, who has all the design sense of an artichoke, finally decided to break down and pay somebody to create a new image for his company. He wanted something he could brand his business around. He does on-site computer repair (think geek squad). He's thrilled...

So I found a designer that I'm hiring to redo my logo....well not just my logo, the entire damn brand identity. I'm getting the logo redone, finally getting a website, redesigning the storefront, the road sign, the interior customer area and anything else that needs it. Now I just have to...

Apparently all these years I've been wrong. I always assumed that clean, legible, and attractive was the most effective way to advertise to potential customers. Who would have guessed that cluttered up, impossible to read, and hit with so many effects the company image is "Hey, look what the...

It rarely gets discussed around here anymore so I thought I'd start a new thread for it. Sure, we've all seen the 2000 posts about wrapping the shop truck and painting the building....I'm looking for something different. What are some cheap/free yet effective marketing ideas you've discovered...

So I emailed the guy and told him that Western Union had a new policy requiring me to submit a photo of the person who was going to recieve the money. He told me he would get with his client and get her to email me a photo. Instead here's what I got today.... ANOTHER CHECK, overnighted from...

I can't believe it. I finally got a scammer to send me a bogus cashier's check! I had a dishwasher for sale in the local classifieds. The dishwasher was $100 Here are the emails SCAMMER: Hello. My name is Baugh Jr. I would like to buy the DISHWASHER_-_WHIRLPOOL dishwasher from you. But...

Am I the only person getting more and more "artwork" for logos sent via cell phone? Just today I had a woman send me four logos she needs reproduced for sponsor signs by photographing the back of the event program and sending it. Yesterday is was a customer who emailed me SEVEN pictures of...

7' x 14' trailer, all cut vinyl. All lettered with Oracal 651, the logo is three colors of layered vinyl. I know I could have it printed but the print will cost me just about what the vinyl is costing and given the choice between the two I'll take the cut vinyl over the print any day...

That's it. Nothing else to add. Just bacon happiness.

After my post I made last week about the business cards I got to talking to two other sign people this weekend about "jobs gone bad" My worst would have to be a banner order I took many years ago. Back before there were digital printers on every corner we had a couple of suppliers who would do...

Gonna be hard to print everything in just CMK.
