I don't mess with the client at all with these files anymore. I send all my low resolution. or obscure format files to India. I write "make this vector," email it out by 10:00 and by 7:00 in the morning I have a vector file on my desktop for about $8.00. Done....It is easier and more cost...

Thanks for the reply. It was nice to hear your thought and reactions. If you don't like maid, how about butler? I can see it being fun dressing up as Alfred or something like that...Or go to chamber events, dressed like that. Great marketing. Hand your invoice to the client on a silver...

I looked at mailchimp tonight, and it looks impressive. And email lists under 500 are free. Jesse, thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Seems to me the interior is more cleaning than detailing. So I don't know if detailing is really the correct term. But I don't know your business. How about? Car Maids... We Clean Inside Your Ride

It is better than the most of the color-blur wraps that I see as contest winners in our trade magazines. Really. It says who they are, what they do, and how you contact them -- clearly visible. It works as a sign, at least by my definition. I bet they get lots of calls for their services.

Welcome. Let's go get a crab cake!

The "realm of the graphics industry that would offer a higher earning potential" would be in sales. If you can bring in new business, you are perceived as a higher value to a company, and hence receive more compensation. And that includes many other industries these days besides the sign...

These types of facilities tend to be very price sensitive. The fact the previous ones are hand painted without a stencil gives me more information. You must MUST get an idea of what they have in mind to spend. $500.00? $1,000? $2,500.00. Without that information, odds are you are...

Should have used for your title: Getting started as a hobby! You probably would have gotten a few more responses. It is a shame -- because you initiated an interesting and important thread.

That is an interesting idea you have. We get a ton of bid requests for Blue Book contractor work type stuff. I am reluctant to pursue it because I find it takes hours to put the bids together, and my chances to receive the work seem very low. Or I can't interpret the bid (I...

Great design and execution. From the photo, it doesn't look like a wrap. It is quite unique.

Thanks, I got balls -- on Safari.

The situation shows the value of signs, and their importance. That location is now done... Seems to me they could have come up with some other type of sign solution (ex. different location) as a compromise.

I agree with Letterman7; he hit my opinion right on the button. But if you feel inclined to provide your opinion when not asked -- there is a simple technique you can use. And that is to ask permission before you start. And that might be something like: "Would you be interested in some...

Mike: Sorry to hear about the account. That is a tough hit, but we have all been there. This is probably not what you want to hear at this time, but these are my thoughts... I think you might be leaving out some details in your explanation because I am not following why you say...

The only green my customers refer to is how much less of it they have to pay. Hate to say it, but other than a few exceptions, I see no current demand.

Do yourself a favor and farm it out to an auto detail shop. They typically have the equipment and experience to do that type of work.

I think you should stick a big, bold decal on the sides of the vans "THOU SHALT NOT STEAL" sign it and call it a day....

Have you considered that the wind slits will look like bullet holes! Not good for crowd control signage. Sounds like they will put in and out of storage. After a couple of uses, they are going to look like crap. You don't tell them how to police crowd control. They shouldn't tell...

You're getting text book answers. The fact is, you live in a small town and the business culture is different than most of our businesses. If you are going to change your practice, you'll need to be very discreet, or you will insult your customers. We have used the economy as an excuse for...
