Welcome from 10 miles away.
Do us all a favor and learn correct pricing, so that us local "veterans" don't seem like we're asking for the client's left testicle along with the price of the sign.

From your username I am assuming that you do race cars?
Luckily I only have to do one of those a year (in Callery) because people here who are too cheap to go to Flinner generally end up just buying a plotter and doing it themselves.
It's a tuff world out there.
This is my 27th year in the trade and my worst year to date.
I started out as a painter but had to keep up with the times so I got a plotter in 1988.
I blame the economy, and also hacks who can't design or price but know how to stick a sticker.
Not saying that you are one, Lord I hope not. We could use a few good people out here to run the "signmakers" back to McDs or wherever they came from.
:)
I do try to stay friends with a few other local companies, it's better that we stick together.
I had to get a "real" job last September, it's embarrassing as hell. But signs were deader than Janet Reno's girdle. I do signs before and after work. I've had my busiest July to date, but it doesn't make up for 11 months of sales under $1000.
Love....Jill
