  1. how does the "little guy" compete

    . Although it takes a while to establish, word of mouth advertising has always been my best source of getting the word out. I market my business like a wild man by focusing my attention on making connections with people, not just throwing out the word and waiting. Marketing is not like...
  2. how does the "little guy" compete

    Ka-Ching! Anybody who goes to Google and types in "business failure" should know this by now. It would do a person well to do their own case studies on why businesses go broke...especially the businesses of those who are doing the same type of work. Continuing education should be top priority...
  3. Willysphere...are they in your toolbox?

    Come to think of it now...they wouldn't be too impressive on anything less than a dune unless you had one heck of a sand pile.
  4. Willysphere...are they in your toolbox?

    There are lots of dunes along our coastline. The closest dunes for me would be Warren Dunes in Grand Haven...on the west side of the state...Lake Michigan...awesome place, approx. 3 hours away, I believe. As a kid, we used to go to Silver Lake and ride on the dune scooters....way too fun for...
  5. Willysphere...are they in your toolbox?

    They're so simple, yet so amazing...especially for us "big kids".
  6. Willysphere...are they in your toolbox?

    I wish I lived close to the beach...these things are way too cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VvlEFQc9mU&feature=related
  7. The "B" Word...

    Just checking in to see how many of you write out a budget for the upcoming year. For the past several years, I just shot from the hip and handled expenses as they arrived, but now that it's becoming more complicated, I need to be a better financial manager. I've kept good records of the...
  8. how does the "little guy" compete

    Dang...that's nearly a Harvard MBA in one post. JB
  9. How to make Swooshes in Flexi?

    The instructions for pouring piss out of a boot are printed on the heel...I thought everybody knew that.
  10. Spice up your garage door(s)

    Cool...but I think some neighborhood associations might object. As for me, I live beyond the sidewalks. My only concern is the neighbors might like it so well and run off with it.
  11. how does the "little guy" compete

    I personally advocate the debt free route, but it does take a little longer, as other's have already said. But I keep hearing how that kind of purchasing doesn't help build my business "credit report". Why would I want to spend a lifetime building a business credit score that a disgruntled...
  12. Suitcase Fusion 3...Ready to buy

    I'm running AI CS5 on Windows and have been looking at Suitcase Fusion 3 for font management. I've tried a lot of freeware, shareware and demos for some of the lower priced font managers, but I still keep coming back to Suitcase for its ease of operation, simple and uncluttered interface, and...
  13. Aftermarket Plotter Blades

    Ditto for Clean Cut...Ross is great. JB
  14. how does the "little guy" compete

    Here's the way I heard it put...it's the three stages of business maturity: -First, you fear the competition -Next, you ARE the competition -Lastly, you no longer fear the competition (but keep an eye on them) because that's when you get your opportunity to differentiate and stand out...
  15. Treasure trove of sign textbooks

    Dang....just burned a half hour browsing their other stuff...wow.
  16. what does the .oz in banner material actually mean?

    I've always understood it to mean the weight of one square yard of the material. Obviously the higher the number, the thicker the material. Banner material, rip-stop nylon, Carhartt Brown Duck material...whatever....they all follow the same method of measurement. From Wikipedia: Fabric...
  17. Extremely Cool site

    I'm smitten...
  18. Inkjet office printers - Not large format, what do you use?

    Ditto the laser printer. After a handful of inkjets, I broke down and got the laser. In the long run, it's more economical and my invoices and proposals have never looked more professional. Seriously...the extra you will spend is well worth it. JB
  19. Husband Down

    She chased him down and ran over him.
  20. any Signlab 8 users here?

    Fisher Price, huh? I was thinking more like the Flintstone's. The only way I can get a razor sharp edge is to zoom in the maximum amount, but what's the use of that when you have to pan all the time? Hair width lines are another bugger. They actually appear to have total sections missing...
