  1. Suggestions Hiring a marketing company?

    What are your product lines and what are your target markets? I've never worked with a marketing company. I have had sales experience in several industries (and of course this includes signage). We are very fortunate to get a lot of our business through referrals. I have seen a great deal of...
  2. I can't believe I missed this one...

    Each time there is an update, they reinstall copilot. I keep uninstalling it. Unless they are paying me, I would prefer not to be their test dummy. I always opt-out when I am able.
  3. Scheduling wrap installs when things take longer than expected.

    Agreed. We always provide a range to allow for any unexpected delays (life happens). Then, when you hit your ideal time you look great. If things take longer than you expected you are covered by providing a date range instead of an expected exact date. I know not everyone may be able to do this...
  4. How to find High Volume Clients?

    There seem to be two primary ways people gain access to ADA signage projects, bidding and relationships. Bidding is purely a numbers game. The more times you bid, the greater the likelihood of winning. The majority of the time it is about being the lowest bidder, but being the best resource and...
  5. Not sure how to title this

    The willingness to ask questions and be proactive is a huge thing. This is how things really get done. Being able to work autonomously is a valuable trait.
  6. Not sure how to title this

    That is such a true statement. Our Operation Director is the perfect example of learning the entire process from start to finish. That deep knowledge has protected us and our clients more times then I can count. We catch so many design mistakes and installation issues before they even get out of...
  7. Not sure how to title this

    If you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, offer him the job you would prefer to see him work. If he doesn't take the offer, then the decision was not yours and you did your part. Then, if you are impressed with his work ethic, allow some office / computer time for cross-training and machine...
  8. ADA and Braille Liability

    ADA tactile and braille signs are required in all permanently designated spaces (even if they do not have a door). Wayfinding signs have a different ADA regulation to follow. By permanent spaces I mean office, breakroom, storage, electrical, etc. However, ballrooms or rooms with a temporary...
  9. Adhesive for attaching sign face to wood

    If you are using 0.080 alum and a plywood type material (similar to the image), then bolt through the face in the white stripe (button head) and then paint the head white. These will be barely visible. Just make sure they are evenly spaced (do not rachet it down, there needs to be movement...
  10. We are Closed....!

    This does not make one feel safe and secure when seen at a changing room.
  11. Suggestions Wholesale to the trade supplier for ADA/Hospital signs

    Hello. Just curious, what kinds of ADA signs do you fabricate?
  12. 3D Printed Dimensional Letters

    As a word of warning, 3D printed text and braille are not compatible with laminate sign faces. They fail very quickly, at least in my experience. Although if anyone has a solution that would be great to learn.
  13. Well Color me Surprised...

    This is a MAJOR privacy issue. When you work on classified, NDA driven, or just private projects and now they have a window into your files... I cannot fathom how this is not breaking some laws in some way. I truly wish our governing laws would keep pace with technology to better project our...
  14. Wholesaler for 1/8" thick clear acrylic panel with braille

    ADA Central is another wholesaler to check out.
  15. Software Help Publishing to PDF from Corel 2019

    I'm just guessing and I can ask our designers to check it out if you need help, but it sounds like your pdf is adding margins. Check that your margins in pdf are zero because you're already setting them in corel.
  16. That Was Quick...

    The only good part, that I'm not sure I actually believe, is this is opt-in by default. Therefore this will not be running until you choose to activate it. But...time will tell and I think it would be a safe bet to guess it will do what everyone was worried about from the start. It supposedly is...
  17. Post & Panel Sign Kit

    Another resource that does quality post and panel (and traffic / wayfinding) is Ornamental Post & Panel - http://catalog.ornamentalpost.com/#p=29
  18. Agree with Savage or Not?

    An interesting read about how to prevent AI from training on your art - https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/10/23/1082189/data-poisoning-artists-fight-generative-ai/
  19. Camo Pattern

    Creative Fabrica also has a lot of camo patterns that might be close to what the client wants. They are very affordable.
  20. be prepared for Ai generated artwork

    I enjoy the new technology tools, like chat gpt. They are quite handy at generating content (but be careful to read what it provides because it is very frequently incorrect, learned this the hard way with hilarious results). I use it more as an editing tool. I'll input something I've written and...
