Seems like if this were legitimate, you would have received a certified formal letter in the US mail, properly formatted and proper grammar used. They did not even properly identify the company making the charge. The party claiming infringement should also be named and examples presented so that...
We have different items, tumblers with our logo, notepads with all our info on them. Recently started giving leather coaster sets with our logo to our high paying customers. Custom usb drives, phone chargers, earbuds, etc. I am a promo products distributor as well and I can get some good SWAG to...
I frequently use printograph.com and navitor.com, both provide wholesale options. I have used Navitor for years, they have excellent customer service, but have never really encountered any problems with them. They don't always have everything I need but they do what they do well.
Great thing about this industry is we can get as creative as we want and make some amazing products. Maybe team up with a local artist to create a piece for you that they would not mind being reproduced. Win win for both parties.
I had a law enforcement officer call in today. He has a Ford F-150 aluminum body truck. Does off duty "POLICE" work in his personal vechicle and wants "removable and reusable" non-magnetic graphics option. I have tried iDot a few times for a couple of my customers but they did not like the...
We use CorelDraw and do contour cuts on a Summa S2-T140. There is a plugin within Summa Go Sign that we loaded into CorelDraw that will add registration marks with the click of a button on the toolbar. Try this link to determine what software you may need to do this...
Had a customer come in today and he indicated that he had purchased this material on Amazon and wants us to install it. I have never heard of it, don't know anything about it and I am wondering what type of product it is. Looked it up on Amazon, saw some reviews and videos. It looks like it...
I had to fill out a lengthy application which was reviewed by the bank that was underwriting the service. They also reviewed my website and it was listed as a service we provided at that time. Regardless, this is just one more thing that does not make sense.
We use Traveler's. We do vehicle graphics/spot and/or fleet graphics. To date we have not had any issues. Along similar lines, I was turned down by a company providing credit card processing services because of the fact that we did permitting at the time. What?? I still don't understand that...
My crew is on a job currently removing cast vinyl graphics on the windows of a restaurant we installed 3 years ago. All the vinyl is off but the adhesive left behind is a mess. They are using Rapid Tac Rapid Remover, then once the adhesive is wiped up coming over that with Windex, then lastly...
I have found it is usually all about the bottom dollar. I get calls frequently from people wanting the lowest price or wanting something TODAY! I get it, we all want to save money. What really gets me fired up is the customer who once worked in the sign industry (supposedly) 15 - 20 years ago...
Thanks everyone for all the pointers. Marketing is not my strength but I am trying to learn what I can. I do know that what worked 20 years, even 10 years ago, doesn't necessarily work today. I am going to give these ideas a shot and see what happens. Once again, thanks.
All good points everyone. I have a couple of younger folks working with me and I was trying to get their ideas for increasing sales and this was one they came up with. I personally do not care for social media and think it is a big time suck, but unfortunately a necessary evil these days. I have...
I have been in the business for 11 years and I know I still have a lot to learn, especially about marketing, which is why I come here to learn from the more experienced veterans in the industry. I am the creative in the business, I am looking for ways to generate more business because I don't...
UPDATE: I appreciate all the feedback from everyone. This has been a learning experience. We had a waiver done up, our installer had taken a 3M class and knew how to do this work, we just wanted to be sure we were protected. We presented it to the customer along with our estimate and have never...
