Truthfully, there is no sense in trying to talk sense to someone of this caliber. These people have their mind made up and regardless of what anyone says, they have a comeback. Usually it’s a lousy comeback, but to them it is sound reasoning.
I would just like to know why or how someone with absolutely no experience or inkling to this industry would think they can do it differently ?? Why is it that people with no knowledge in their head about something, suddenly becomes a type of authority and thinks vinyl 3, 4, 5 years and older vinyl is good, simply because it’s in a controlled area ?? Just about everything sold in a store, a warehouse or even our food has expiration dates on them. Even a ladder has a weight limit written on it and you can’t go past that or you void out the warranty. The vinyls, just like paints in the old days have a shelf life regardless of how well someone took care of it. Most manufactures tell you and it’s written on their literature, it’s only good for two years. Oh, excuse me, I forgot…….. these are people coming into the trade without any prior hands-on or first hand experience and they just resort to their own stupid common sense which they can’t even read the label on a pill box and we expect them to read up on the industry. How fuckingly stupid of me. What was I ever thinking ??
Someone wants to come into this industry and wants to gain all the knowledge to do business, but doesn’t want to take ten minutes of listening without biting the very hand which are trying to help.
Why come here at all for answers, if you already know the answers ??
You wanna go pound the pavements, or hand out calling cards ?? That’s the best way to becoming a successful sign company. That’s how I did it. The only thing different is…. I knew what I was selling. I knew the trade almost inside/out. I knew about permitting, electrical to a point, silk screening, pictorial art, hand lettering on various mediums with various based paints. I learned everything I could while growing up, going to school and then working in sign shops, until I could go out on my own. I didn’t walk up to someone and ask them if I could perform brain surgery on their kid because he acts dumb and I wanted to fix it for free until I get my name known in the neighborhood.
Your kind are always passing through these doors and I admire that you have the balls to ask these mind-blowing questions, but I cringe when I see how….. and in the fashion in which you ask them. You sound like a complete novice and come across as being a complete dolt representing an industry which you have no business being in and therefore are making a complete mockery of a profession that has taken some of us years and decades to build and you can ruin it in a few minutes for the rest of the companies in your area for a long time.
You could put such a bad taste in the public's mouth and mistrust because of your ignorance…… just because you thought and wanted to do something you knew nothing about.
