Take it for what it's worth.... I spent the first six-months we started (2008) ranking in Google for "vinyl banners" (Lets Go Banners dot com) We got as high as number 3, and (I think) are now number 10 or 11. This was a CRAZY competitive term to rank for, and when we hit the first page, I...

We use Adobe CS3 and FlexiSign Pro 8.5. We do experience occasional color problems, and I'm not sure of any direct to rip programs directly from Adobe. However, our biggest issues occur when try to import Adobe Illustrator files directly into Flexi. We've had success saving the Illustrator...

We quote a lot of jobs for people who have had the vinyl printed by a web company but have no idea how to install it. We just quoted a job today that a company paid a lot of money to have the 3M vinyl printed for their company truck and sent it for them to apply themselves. They are going to...

Nice Job! Are you marketing your finished wraps on your website and/or Youtube etc? We try to post as many of our wraps as possible on our site (tsunamiwraps.com) with accompanying video and description (text) page with appropriate title tags. This has been primarily our #1 marketing method...

Am planning on going, can't wait. Maybe we could start a meet-up forum if it hasn't already been created? It would be a blast to talk to fellow-sign company owners, managers and staff.! Chris

Some professional positions have been almost impossible to do in the past with physical or mental disabilities, but with technology, we're quickly closing the gap. Please take a second to check-out what Honda has introduced to help with mobility. Here's the link (copy and past it into your...

We use a Dell Quad Processor running Windows 7 (with a sh*t load of ram for our primary rip station (using flexsign 8.5 and Adobe CS3)) and it hums. It crunches, rips, and prints most times in seconds. It's crashed twice (but we have a great back-up system, which I would recommend like crazy)...

thank you!

We have a 48" and 36" and it covers most of our needs (you can use the 36" for smaller apps.)

We've been serial entrepreneurs (my wife and I), and were looking for a great opportunity that would offer so many of the things our previous businesses didn't do for us (residual orders, referral customers, customer service premiums, consistent demand, "high satisfaction," easy to market, etc...

Thanks for a great suggestion! Never thought of using 94 for that but can't wait to try.

We've recently found a niche in designing and applying wall murals to decorate vacant tenant spaces in some local shopping centers here in Hawaii. The reason I mention Hawaii is because the sun has caused havoc on some of the prior murals (applied by other sign companies,) and we've had to...

This may sound really crazy, but for the last 2 years, we dismantled our GBC and manually size and place our 3M or vinyl with no more than 2 inches of laminate on each side. For the additional labor and time it takes to do this, we have experienced an almost 100% success ratio for laminating...

Sounds like you're ready to read a book that changed my business almost overnight. There are 3 different functions to every sign business: 1) the technician (the guy or gal who "does the work") 2) the manager (the guy or gal who "makes sure the work gets done,") and 3) the entrepreneur (the guy...

Aloha and good luck to you!

It's just a marketing ploy. Sure, sometimes companies really do charge extreme low prices, but they have to rely on crazy volumes and low skill/labor to attempt to pull this off. I've competed in different industries with "low cost leaders," and 9 times out of 10, it's a pure marketing tactic...

Aloha from Hawai'i!

Cool Wrap! Just wondering, have you used 3M before?

Only 2 short years ago, our company, Lets Go Banners, attempted to be number one on Google for "vinyl banners." We got to number three and quickly abandoned this goal. We quickly realized that certain products were becoming "commoditized" and abandoned wide internet search terms for these...

We have a system that is fairly progressive. It rewards sales people based on: prospecting, sales, and service. So we split the commissions based on the effort. We've used this system for almost 17 years and it works great (especially for straight commission sales reps.) I would be happy to...
