Has anybody used a product called Pano Film? It is a non-adhesive, perforated banner material. They are used in windows as an alternative to perforated vinyl. I have seen the product in the Fellers catalogue, and always wanted to try it. I am quoting a job for a retail chain, and thought...

Some of my card collection, from my youth....

Looks to me like an affiliate program for the signs and also for all Home Depot products. So, let's say I don't want to mess with magnetic signs. I could refer my customer to my affiliate, not do anything and still make 3% on the job -- which is about all you can make on magnetic signs anyway...

This is not your problem. So stop acting like it is. His truck and his inferior paint job. The magnetic didn't fail. In fact, it held on better than it was supposed to. It exceeded the expectations. Don't call your insurance company. That will have a negative effect on your rates...

Thank you for the helpful information and feedback. The job is for concrete sidewalks on private property. If we are going to do the job -- I think 3M would be the way to go. Wayne, I just sent you a PM. Michael

Wayne: I am still considering my options for the sidewalk graphics. Would you be interested in this job? It could be a nice piece of business. It is for an outside mall, right off I-95, outside Baltimore. Some of my friends run up to see Steeler games, so we can't be too far from you. Let...

We would like to wrap outdoor sidewalk sections, in front of storefronts, with large format graphic vinyl. I have seen the material in catalogues and pictures in magazines. I always thought it was an interesting product -- and now I have a prospect interested, for a 3-6 month outdoor...

I think you might have a real big problem to reconcile. You just might have upset off your TWO BIGGEST CUSTOMERS -- which is how you described them If they are sponsoring the event, it is very special to them. It seems to me, you donated the signs because of your customers -- not for...

At the bottom, there are "google ads" for wrap and design companies -- which are not $400.00 wrap companies. I have a hunch it is a brilliant technique to grab attention and increase traffic to other sites. I also believe someone, because of the ad, has made money just from the views from this...

Interesting product. We sell a lot of yard signs, so I could see a market potential with something like this. I searched an hour on Google, but no luck. I would also be interested if someone has a source.

You really should motivate yourself to call your doctor tomorrow morning!

Very simple solution, since you are both working out of the house -- and there is no trust on both sides. Next time, just ask for a 50 - 75% deposit on the design -- Not the whole job. This way you are getting paid for your work, and it is easier for the customer to swallow. Lot easier on the...

Forget the square foot bullshit, so it is not tedious. Figure material and labor. What is the material cost: $100 -- $150.00 (and remember packing materials)? That leaves you about $500.00 for about 7.5 hrs work, based on your estimate. You didn't include administrative: selling the job...

I think you killed the original design and concept. It struck me right away, and I am surprised I am alone on this. The first design you did was far more interesting than the current. Go with your original inspiration. It is more alive. I liked the distorted text -- and it worked with the...

Print the banner -- not vinyl letters. That way you don't have removal and vinyl residue to worry about. Next year, you sell them a vinyl decal strip to cover the date. They can very easily overlay it themselves. You design it so the date is maybe white letters on a black rectangular...

Try Manny at epdwindowfilm. His company does exactly what you describe. mhondroulis@epdwindowfilm.com

We experimented printing on banner material that reflected, that was introduced to the market about 10 years ago. The product, as many in the sign business, didn't really take off. In theory it was a great idea, but it really didn't work effectively in the field. It was expensive, and the...

You might want to consider putting more emphasis on the products he is selling, than the design ornaments. Too much design, and the copy and the images for the products are too small in proportion. At first glance, I wasn't sure what the products were.

Call it a file transfer fee. $75.00 $100.00 or whatever you think is fair. Printers do it all the time. Explain to customer you are storing the file, and it takes labor and equipment to archive, find, and email the file.

It is a black and white -- businessman decision. You do the job, or you don't do the job. Nothing in between. You don't know if the signs are stolen, and that is not your role. Your job is to make signs, unless you moonlight as a cop, or ethics professor, or something like that. You don't ask...
