What do you think -- the perfect client is going to walk through the door of a career center? You see it as a negative experience, and I see it as a great opportunity. It's a gift... paid gig, portfolio piece and you haven't even graduated yet. Get off your high horse. Get his absolute top...

I have no idea what the marketing message is about, or what the brand is that you are promoting. I don't understand what the selected graphic has to do with the product. Is it about shampoo? yoga? sky gazing? praying? I just don't know.

Other than the Watchfires and the Daktronics, are there other viable alternatives for wholesale digital LED Message Center signs? I have a few clients interested, but they are just too expensive for a small business, and they don't want to finance a $20,000 sign. Maybe there is another...

I think the fishing equipment theme should be primary, in order to get more corporate contributors. The logo has to mean something for them -- the sponsors. Also, the storm shouldn't be primary because you want it to be positive, not negative. Maybe a tackle box character, with the top...

I vote no apostrophe. Technically, if you were writing a document, I think it should have one (s') because it is showing ownership. But it is going to look out of place on a sign. By the way, it might be a fun consideration to use a font like "The Simpsons"? I google imaged "The...

Very nice, custom work. You might consider signing it...

I took out an YB internet ad about a year ago. Figured I test, and if I got a couple of calls a month, it would pay for itself. Well, I got a couple calls all right -- for the entire year. If that. YB does no marketing. No promotion of their product. I don't even see the TV ad anymore...

You won't be able to explain to your customer. We had this happen to us. We brought in a mobile detail company and they buffed for us. As I recall, it wasn't that expensive. The client was ecstatic, and it was worth the investment to keep a happy customer.

First of all, I applaud the mentioned sign shop's effort. They are doing a good thing. From a business analysis perspective, what about other expenses other than material and ink? Don't you have to consider maintenance of printers, labor to print and produce, grommets, packing materials and...

I wouldn't bet on vinyl work as my career and for it to be the medium of the future. Vinyl replaced painting. Flatbeds and printers are replacing vinyl. In 10-15 years, the industry will be onto something else. So, do you really want to be 40 and be called "Old Vinyl" on the forum? By...

Good advice. Thank you...

That would be great. My prospect is located in Baltimore, MD. Thanks...

Similar. What I am thinking is more of a communication board, programmable by software. Not the type with video commercials that are in doctors' waiting rooms.

I have a client looking for Electronic Lobby signs. Not the scrolling LED type, but the high-end programmable units you see in hotels, hospitals, etc. I would think this would be a profitable, growing market, but I have not seen or read much information about them. Is there a vendor on this...

Gino: I respectfully submit that I couldn’t disagree more with your opposition comments on this issue, and with the 11 who disapprove so far. And I think this decision is very important. I say let them in. I feel that this forum has a growing pervasive “protective” and “mom and pop”...

Just remember, it is not $250.00. You'll need extra phone line, internet, heat, AC, trash collection, alarm, insurance, etc. etc. Call it $1250.00 when it is all said and done. Then you probably need another, what --$5,000 extra in sales to cover the $1250.00? That's a lot of meetings...

I think you are both over-reacting. So you made a mistake and the invoice you submitted did not include all the services and fees provided, which totals $1,000. What is the big deal? Also, sounds like you did a good job and delivered the signs you were hired to do. The client should...

Hey, Old Paint ...How was your Sunday

Don't use the term "outsource." It has a negative connotation to some. I tell people "we are affiliated with another larger company," or I tell them "our production plant/facility for this product is out of state..."

Would you consider making the owner an offer for the business? You might be surprised by the response.
