  1. be prepared for Ai generated artwork

    I guess we are going to have to get used to it. Personally, I hate doing artwork so for me, if people can do their own, I'm fine with it. The hard part now making it useable. I have dabbled in it a little bit just as an idea generator and sometimes it works, other times not so much LOL
  2. Facebook Marketplace anyone?

    I agree! I've never done "business" on marketplace but I've bought lots of household things on marketplace and I LOVE it! I've bought plants on it too LOL
  3. Customers

    Make a Facebook business page and have all your friends and family share it. Before you share it create a bunch of posts of the things you have done. I like to post a couple times a week but I've been busy lately so I haven't been keeping up with it. It helped to grow my business and create...
  4. Produced graphics storage ideas

    I don't have a lot of room so I roll them up and seal them with my handy new bag sealer.
  5. Mirror Glass cutting vector shapes

    You are always up to something new! LOL
  6. Help on Pricing Installation

    $547 for prints. $250-$275 for install 2 people. It think an hour is about right.
  7. Perpetually Connected Devices...

    To think an "update" can shut the entire world down is absolutely insane. Is there anything else reliable to use besides Microsoft products? Probably a stupid question but I have never looked into it so I have no idea. Just curious.
  8. I'm no wrapper...big old FAIL

    Friends...I'm an idiot. I used the wrong kind of vinyl on the bottom - it was regular, not wrap. I ordered some Avery wrap this week because I had to try again - just did a small area and turns out with the right vinyl all things are possible. I'm going to try it on my truck over the weekend...
  9. I'm no wrapper...big old FAIL

    That dent cost $2,010.00 to fix. There was 18 hours of labor when I said I would pay OOP. Then I told them I was running it through insurance ($100 deductible) and he put 24 hours of labor. They got the truck Monday late in the day and it was ready by 7am Wednesday. It's nice to know your local...
  10. Canva

    Agree. I'm going to start charging a "customer supplied artwork fee". If the artwork is fine I can always remove it. If it's not - it covers me sending it out for vectorizing.
  11. Canva

    VENT:::::::::> OK - I've got 3 jobs TODAY that have been about 15 emails back and forth. This is a major waste of time to even ASK people anymore if they have vector art. I think I'm just going to start working the artwork into the price. I'm only charging these people $25 to convert and they...
  12. Canva

    Well, apparently, I need to buy Canva and learn how to use it. This guy can't figure out how to save the logo as a vector file and he won't pay for me to recreate it. I gave a shirt quote last week and they used Canva for the design so I told them I either needed a vector file yesterday EOD or...
  13. Canva

    Circling back on this...I have an email this morning stating he's spent all weekend trying to convert it to a vector file LOL He doesn't like the fonts he used so I need to update them. I may just make a couple changes to simplify it and see what he says... I think I'm going to stay away from...
  14. Canva

    I've had 3 customers in the last couple weeks come in for logo design. They have a very specific idea. I execute the idea. They respond back with, "I was playing around in Canva and I think I like this better, what do you think?" Yes - I got deposits and everyone has paid so far. This is...
  15. I'm no wrapper...big old FAIL

    Well I'm glad nobody is ripping on me LOL I should suggest he have it all painted, I like that idea the best!
  16. I'm no wrapper...big old FAIL

    The black part under the door had horizontal creases - like 3 of them and then there's a bar that goes across also with a bunch of holes in it. I had to lay down under the truck and try and work the vinyl in all the creases - it was over my skill level laying on my back on a concrete floor then...
  17. I'm no wrapper...big old FAIL

    I failed miserably. One of my oldest, best customers wanted black matte vinyl on his hood and the bottom part of the sides of 5 Dodge 2500 Diesels. I said I would try it but I am not really a wrapper. Hoods were fine - no issues at all. The bottoms - complete nightmare, I got wrinkles and...
  18. Boots on the ground marketing?

    I've never gone door to door, just because I'm a little shy. Facebook has been my best friend for advertising. I'm in a small town and I get a lot of shares, etc. Not sure how well it would work if I was in a big town. But here, everyone knows everyone so posts spread quick.
  19. Wrestling Room at High School Signs with multiple names

    What is the best method for creating signs that you can add names to each year? They currently have the slide-in plastic things for some and for others just signs that I cut vinyl names for and we stick them up. I did not make any of these originally and as you can see lots of different fonts...
  20. Discussion Would you fire this employee?

    I think you already knew the answer when you posted but hopefully you feel better about your decision now! My friend is the HR at a factory and she is working on firing a guy with multiple personalities. He won't take his meds so she's constantly telling him, "Make sure you tell everyone...
