  1. Installation code of conduct agreement?

    I have customers that subcontract for others and they are required to wear specific colors, typically safety green. Sometimes they need vests with reflective, etc. so I'm used to doing rush jobs for these guys.
  2. How would you decorate a convex mirror?

    I'm glad this is your job and not mine LOL It sounds like a question I would be asking!
  3. Helping Competition/colleagues?

    I help out other shops and they help me. It sounds like maybe you are the first to "open the door" and I think it's great you did! Hopefully the three of you can start a working relationship going forward.
  4. Bid package nightmare

    I would find out what they actually need to see if it's worth your time. And some places send all the signage from corporate and you might only do installation.
  5. Rate my very first sign

    Well, honestly, I was wondering if you might be part of the community with the rainbow but I didn't want to offend you lol I think keeping it to 3 colors is good. I agree with Boudica maybe the paw print could be a solid color. The thing is...I changed my logo last year and nobody even noticed...
  6. Rate my very first sign

    I don't think the layout is terrible. I'm not a real fan of all the colors in your logo. Can the footprint maybe be one color? IDK. I do like how the logo is on top and the other items on the bottom. Signtline is right - ditch the bullets in front of the item lines when you center them. Others...
  7. Canva

    I'm talking about my customer LOL
  8. Threat of Closing this year...

    I like advertising on FB - I post my jobs with cheesy music, people like it. I go to other small businesses and patronize them and this drums up business. The school systems have lots of money to spend. Maybe you have too much equipment. I started with a plotter and ordering prints from...
  9. Canva

    There's a cheese factory in the area I've been working with. She asked me if I would design a new logo for them as they bought out the old owner. I refered them to my friend who is a graphic designer head of creative for a sausage company. Instead of paying him to design a new logo, she created...
  10. Making a transition

    I just ate the last of my tomatoes from last season! I'm going to plant this weekend...at least I'm going to try...I will need a stool since I can't bend my leg very well LOL
  11. Making a transition

    Yes! My mom is 75 and should have had her knees replaced at 60. She gets cortisone shots but they only work for so long. My sister and I both have had bad knees since high school. We used to do a lot of water skiiing, knee boarding, tennis and running - none are good for the knees. We both...
  12. Vinyl on angled trailer front?

    Instead of a canoe your customer has a trailer...
  13. AI conundrum

    I would use it. I had a customer a couple weeks ago do the same thing. I'm not sure if he paid for the service as he could only get me a png. I recreated the wording and was able to use the graphic. Funny because he led me to believe he had hired a designer for a number of graphics he sent over...
  14. Making a transition

    Thanks everyone for the encouragement! I'm pretty excited about this, it will be several weights lifted off my shoulders both mentally and physically. I've lost all my helpers! My oldest son has his own business and my youngest graduated and works full time and now races 2-3 nights per week...
  15. Making a transition

    Yes I do have a garden! I'm certainly excited to be able to take a break during the day and do some gardening! I just installed a patio door in my garage that walks out to the patio of which you can see the entire back yard and garden so plenty of natural light and great views LOL
  16. Making a transition

    I've done a lot of thinking the last couple years and have wanted to transition from having a storefront to working from home and cutting way back on the products I offer. I'm 50, female and single and I own the building my shop is in. There is an attached 2 family home and storage shed which I...
  17. In need of a fabric banner

    Perfect! Why didn't I think of that? LOL Thank you!
  18. In need of a fabric banner

    Looking for a "fabric banner". No idea what that is. She doesn't want mesh and doesn't want canvas. They want fabric to hang behind a display because the regular banner, even matte is too shiny. Ideas?
  19. substrates from customers

    That is just the reflection, its on coro
  20. another stupid story

    I have a couple big places that are 30 days but they often pay CC if it's smaller. School prints checks on the 5th so if you get them an invoice on the 6th...you're waiting. They have made exceptions for me with very large orders and she cut me a check knowing I'm a small business. Typically...
