My friend is in a smaller town and she started doing apparel only. The sign shop guy in town died so now she's doing a lot more signs and vehicles. I cringed when I see some of her very simple designs (like the ones posted here) but - she's absolutely gotten better and more "advanced" with her...

Just helpers for me to hold vinyl up when I'm installing vinyl on a trailer, clean up after me, etc. The only helper that uses any tools is my son. I should have clarified that...

What about Fivvr? Do people on there do this kind of thing?

If you don't use a physical fastener you might not sleep well the next windy day you have. I wouldn't worry at all about going back to the customer and changing your plan of action. You are being responsible by asking others and doing your weight calculations. I like to think customers...

I think hourly, maybe a part-time person...a couple days a week or something like that? If it's just a part-time position you may need to pay a bit more to retain them so it's worth their time. I pay $15-20hr cash for help with installs plus lunch. My son makes $30hr delivering furniture a few...

I like Gnublers and ProSigns ideas...Perfect for a temp solution!

For this kind of stuff, if the customer is looking for something specific, I tell them to go on IStock or Shutterstock and find the image they want and let me know the ID#. I remind them that if I have to look through 1000's of photos to find a specific scene, they are paying for me to do that...

2'x4', 15oz, no hem. I do one design per school, per year and they have a couple parents "with fancy camera's" take the photos and send them to me. I remove the background and zits and set them in the banner, change up the name and print. The "Raiders" do a banner for each sport and some of the...

Sounds like most people are still busy as heck, that's great! I have also had the best year I ever had, super happy about that! Nov-Jan is typically slower than the rest of the year. Second week in February I get really busy again. I'm OK with a month or two of not being in a constant state...

Just curious how everyone’s doing? I noticed a slow down but I’m still busy with larger projects. The work load is manageable compared to the last 2 quarters in which I was very overwhelmed. Im not so rushed which is nice and cuts down on errors. I have quite a few jobs for business who want get...

I voted yesterday but apparently it didn't make much difference. Still have "Bernie" from weekend at Bernie's at the helm. My brother-in-law voted before work. Then an hour later my sister voted. Obviously their names were next to each other. She noticed he didn't sign the book!!!! She said...

Yes, you are 100% correct on this. Last night I watched a couple videos and I'm still a little confused however, I did see that entering all of your pricing is easy with a spreadsheet. I already have one so I just need to make some column adjustments to upload it! I am quite impressed with the...

This is close...I took a chance and clicked on something on Etsy. I buy quite a bit of girly clipart on there...

I had leftover chili

Currently I do my estimating on a spreadsheet and I really do like it but I looked at the SignTracker and I think if I set it up I could get used to it. It seems very similar to my spreadsheet. So now...I have my spreadsheet, Signtracker and Wave. Definitely going to use the "slow period" coming...

I don't...I use Wave Accounting which is free online. I am thinking of switching but I like Wave because it's really simple and clean. So far I didn't look too much at the estimating feature but once I figure that all out I might switch to Quickbooks.

I replaced my pile of job boxes with a monitor that has Signtracker on it! LOL!!!!! And to be honest...3 monitors is plenty, I'm getting whiplash with 3!

If it's something you don't do often then just order it from Firesprint or Signs365...you will receive in a couple days just upload your file for pennies compared to ordering an entire roll. For vehicles I always use a cast vinyl. Signs365 is this stuff below and Firesprint would be the...

That's an interesting thought...

The photos are from that business Gino found. IF this is his business...BEAUTIFUL WORK!!!! I would be very proud to own this business. The one photo is from a Bar Mitzvah "inspired by his favorite line of sneakers and luxury goods. Custom made elements featuring Nike Supreme, Adidas Yeezy and...
