  1. Need Help File corrupt

    Okay, just updated to windows 10 and versaworks says that any file I bring in is corrupt. So then I updated versaworks to the newest version and made sure that everything updated with it and the problem is still there and i'm at a production stand still. Please help!
  2. Association Memberships

    I think it's great to belong to the local chamber, and every year I continue to send the $200 for membership and attend the annual gala (+$100 ticket). However, I have never had a single person walk in and say they got my name off the chamber member list even though I am very active - I even sit...

    Was wondering if you belong to any associations, guilds or organizations in the sign industry or graphic design profession? If so, which one and how has it helped you in your company?

    So simple, yet so effective! Much appreciation!
  8. Local Competition

    Great advice! We do warranty larger projects but might make this more of a thing in my advertising. Forgot to mention one headache is that people almost always come to me first to quote. So when they go to my competitor for a second bid and he inevitably undercuts me, that customer doesn’t...
  9. Local Competition

    I am one of 4 sign shops in my relatively rural area. We all have our niche, one guy is an old school painter, one shop does jam up wraps, while I am known for my creative abilities with outside-the-box concepts and larger projects. I do my best to collab with the others, sending referrals here...
