  2. how often do you get files for print that have mistakes?

    Yes, It can be a "sensative" situation! Bottom line it cost money no matter who is at fault. We get things that are spelled wrong all the time. We have a 3 proof system in place so 99.9% of the time we catch it. Just last week I did a last minute rush job for a local PTA group. I spelled...
  3. Do postcards work?

    if you only want to target around 35 companies, I would not mess with a postcard. I would get in my car and show my face, drop a flyer and business card, then follow up weekly until they told me to blow off. I do send out monthly specials and newsletter via Constant Contact. Hands down a...

  7. Lease Prices & Negotiations

    Do you expect to gain an additional 5 to 7 K per month from walk-in traffic that you will need to generate to cover the lease payments and other costs involved? Personally if I had my shop at home like you, I'd hire additional sales staff to drum up business. Our shop is located on a high...
  8. Client's email leaves me at a loss for words...

    seriously, I cant believe that you are still dealing with this. You should have gone ahead and made the changes for him, as you have wasted some much of your "Free Time" dealing with him and posting here. I have now invested 4 cents and I'm out of here.....LOL See how easy that was!
  9. Client's email leaves me at a loss for words...

    "Bob I'm so happy that Boopsie's business is gaining traction. I'm very busy these days and simply do not have any "Free" time to format the files so that you can use them at home. My hourly rate is $$$ and I can schedule time to modify the files for you upon receiving your deposit or prepayment"

  13. It's official...NO Christmas cards this year.

    We have received around 20 cards, have them hanging behind the front counter. Had a couple of local vendors drop off the dreaded "fruitcake" tins. These were quickly REGIFTED to a few pissy customers.

  17. How much to charge for a rush job?

    I approach a Rush Job using the following formula: Job Cost X (Number of Soon To Be Pissed of Customers Ahead of Rush Job) /33 + 6.5 = Rush Fee. The depending on my mood I will also add the cost of a good bottle of Chianti and a jar of Fava beans
  18. Wrongly convicted...

    No chance, laws on the books in every State thats prevents him from filing against the state or feds. Let's hope he can make a few million on a book or Movie.
  19. What happens to all the repossessed printing equipment?

    Ask the printer company who they use for leasing. Contact leasing Company Directly. They often use a 3rd Party to liquidate the equipment. You may can strike a better deal.
  20. Go figure this customer........

    I would have never agreed to do a 53 ft trailer for $6500 no matter how slow. I know it's tough in this economy, but people actually do pay for quality work. Our shop currently has quoted over $100K for DEC. We have closed a little over 36K and should be able to nail down at least 50K more by...
