  1. To any & all owners

    The unemployment rate is what, 10 -11% in this country (depending on interpretation)? There are a lot of people who would take your job in a heartbeat -- given the opportunity. Your situation makes me uncomfortable just reading about it. But from a business owner, trying to make a profit in...
  2. Solar Powered Lights for signs?

    Is the technology there yet? I am estimating a 3' x 5' post and panel sign for a condominium entrance. The client wants to consider solar lights as an option. (The sign sits back too far to use reflective vinyl.) I have tried some solar light brands from Home Depot, but they don't...
  3. Blogging... what's that like?

    You might consider using your Facebook page as your blog. You can post more detailed information like articles using the NOTES feature. So it basically works the same as a blog. I am also blogging on posterous.com. It is really easy to use. You just send an email to the website, and...
  4. In need of Health discipline...where do I go?

    Check out www.drlife.com. I recently read his book and was really impressed and inspired to start some changes myself. Dr. Life is 72 years young (real doctor) and he is built like he is 22-- with washboard stomach. But don't be intimidated. It's written for middle-ages guys like us -- not...
  5. Amazing Korean Grocery Store (sign & QR related)

    My thoughts exactly. I have been buying groceries off a local major chain's internet site for years. You select what you need, and they deliver to your door. It's awesome. But it was interesting, and makes you think about the power of faux images as graphics.
  6. At last...

    Congratulations. Has this process of building a plan provide any "game-changers" to your business?
  7. A con Artist Customer

    She is not a con artist. She is a consumer shopping around for the best price. You do it. I do it. We all do it. In fact there is a smart phone app just for that. Based on your title, I was prepared to read something totally different. You are 1 in a million shops that can handle...
  8. $2.88 for Coroplast Signs with wire stakes!

    Yes, you should call your customer and ask if it includes shipping, which could be costly -- with the stakes and the signs. So you might be more competitive than you think. Also, find out where your customer is shopping, which is important information. And you should shop your supplies and...
  9. The Price of Things

    As I wrote my invoice for $45.00 for a custom 18" x 24" corplast sign, which is about the same price I charged in 1992, I thought to myself what could I get for $45.00? Not much....Not a tank of gas, not a few groceries. Certainly nothing custom! Need to start charging more.
  10. Check out my new self help book, "Welcome to WalMart!"

    Welcome, from another Hon.
  11. pick apart please... i'm stuck

    That is just it. You don't know what the product is. When I see it, I think of Cadillac for some reason -- maybe it's the crown.
  12. Frogs!!!!!

    We are getting ready to read that story. Gnats and lice are next. By the way, you haven't noticed anything strange about your water -- like turning red or something?
  13. Cold-calling and gaining new clients.

    Here is my tip. If I was 17 again, the first thing I would do is take a good sales class. But it has to be a good program. You will learn about psychology, how to deal with interpersonal relations, etc. It will be the best investment of time and money you could make.
  14. To share or not to share? customer logo

    Tell them you need to know why they need the file, so that you can provide in the appropriate format. (You mention it is for a custom job, so chances are it is something you may not even do.) Then tell them you will take care of it, no problem, but there is a "file transfer fee." That is...
  15. Need Banner poles and brackets

    The product you are describing can be found at OPPTC.com (bracket and pole). Ask for John -- real professional guy.
  16. Hear the news......................... ??

    Wow. That says a lot about the industry. Good thing they changed the name from Ameriban -- a few years back.
  17. Light up Cereal Boxes.

    cereal That was wild. Here is another video I saw linked to yours. An electrical charge can be printed into the paper http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOwgtERQ00A&NR=1
  18. See Thru Banner Material for a window?

    That's it. My catalogue called it Pano Film. Doesn't sound like it's too popular. Thanks...
  19. See Thru Banner Material for a window?

    Thanks for the reply, but I don't think that's it. This is a specific material for windows, which is supposed to allow for one way viewing. So people can look out the window, but a graphic is seen on the outside, like perforated vinyl. But it is a banner.
  20. See Thru Banner Material for a window?

    I am surprised nobody has used this.
