I have the 64 gb wifi version with my entire portfolio on it for making presentations on the rare occasion that I need to. I recently was asked to attend a town commissioners meeting about a new town hall sign, as were other sign companies. Only one other shop attended the meeting besides me. I was called first and had my iPad for photos of all the local signs I had made, along with physical samples of my work showing every material option with color samples and carving examples. The five attending counsel persons spent about fifteen minutes going over everything I brought and asking questions about everything.
The other company that showed up followed me with a 3"x3" piece of white dibond and explained their sign would have vinyl lettering and a digital print stuck on the dibond. The sign was to be a double face sign and theirs would be the thickness of the dibond. Their price was also $850.00 whereas mine would be $3,700.00
One of the councilmen called me the next day to request a visit to my shop. He said he felt bad for the other shop and that he should be able to persuade three of the other four members to go with my proposed work.
The iPad I have cost about $700.00 but on the three presentations I have used it for so far, the projects I've sold are worth nearly $70k. So what price is a good presentation worth to you?
