To be perfectly honest on this post. Texas has a pretty good handle on the price thing. He has his overhead down and can make a profit and compete with almost everyone. He did complain about the large shops getting jobs because of their size, but over time he will get that work through his determination and hard work.
He has dropped the small stuff because he can afford not to deal with the bottom feeders. Keeping his costs down and hustling every day will work out for him. He's a perfect fit in today's sign business with the availability of outsourcing and computers and software. He just has to use his blinkers and side mirrors when changing lanes.

You got that right, I just blow the horn and yell some obscenity, but some people don't like that.

I called around and got prices.. A large sign company and a franchise here were $6 and $5.35/sq. ft. A local sign guy that's been in business for 700 years (who some of you just adore for his articles and designs) was by far the lowest at $4.35 s.ft.
I'm going to raise my price to $5.25 sq. ft.

As I stated in post #42, Texas is on top of this price thing. He took the average of the three prices he received.
Who is the local 700 year old being. He was in business before Chris Columbus discovered America.

Another Update:
Just sold a couple of 4x8's at my new pricing. Thank you to the Signs101 community for making me see the light and repent the error of my ways. With the extra $$ I made, I'll offer to buy Gino AND Johnny some salmon kaboobs next time they are in Cow Town.

We sell our 13oz banners $4sqft.
We actually don’t even sell very many my competitors down the street sell for
$6sqft with terrible quality and stay busy.
Mississippi, man what can you do.

We're all going to have outliers on singular or local examples in our lives, but the important thing is trying to get what the work's full value is and not sell yourself short.
What can you do, even in Mississippi? You can accentuate your better quality, service and design if thats the case. The folks down the street must be working harder at that part of it if they can sell the same thing for 30% more than you.

Great thread. Lots of knowledge shared and ZERO attitude or condemnation. I am also going to raise my banner prices
