  1. Facebook Paranoia?

    It seems to be the trend to post stuff on FB and other sites. I refrain from doing it. One reason is that I simply do not have time to play around on FB.
  2. Pricing Your Services

    what ever the price, make sure you are making money. Too many people add services thinking that its simply a way to attract more customers. While it can work out that way, when you start doing the math you're losing your tail. This segment of your business should be able to stand alone and make...
  3. Should you fire this employee?

    Since he left the keys on the desk its possible that you don't see him on Monday. Sounds like you guys were friends, and you want to help him. Even as a friend, I would have to let the guy go. That does not mean that you cant still be available as a friend.
  4. Dead, dead, dead......dead.

    pretty steady in Atlanta. Making 50+ PR calls a day helps keep things humming nicely.
  5. Clear Bra's....has anyone installed them here?

    never installed a clear bra, but have removed a few over the years

    This is a great idea!
  7. New shop.

    looks like an indoor car lot.
  8. Doesn't seem fair... what should I do?

    You donated the voucher in order to help a worthy cause and get grab some attention. I would make the most of it by allowing them to use the balance. You can make it back 10 fold by doing a great job. They will be back for more.
  9. How did you get into the signs business?

    I simply needed the money
  10. pdf proof forms

    Adobe has a digital signature feature. Not sure if some of the other "PDF" creators have it.
  11. Need Opinions

    if he turned in his best work, and didn't lie about having it done, no harm done. I have 4 kids and simply stress the importance of working first, then playing.
  12. This is a really compelling idea.

    frankly most of my prices have doubled already, if not completely, almost. Price increases on supplies, taxes, fuel, health insurance, food, you name it during the past few years. I sell service, not signs. There is always a fool who will have a lower price. I love fools. I just ran across...
  13. Getting Payment

    Sign at Counter says: 50% Deposit required. All Jobs under $250.00 require full payment to begin. Tell the guy to have his Wife to stop by and pick up the sign since she seems to wear the pants.
  14. Chalkboard

    Does anyone know if there is a material that's very thin that can be written on like a chalkboard(actual chalk)? I'm looking for something to adhere to PVC A-Frames. I have a customer that wants 10 A-Frames and wants one side with chalkboard and the other to features digital prints. I need to...
  15. Not a "what would you do?" But a "should I do..."

    Man I love accents! I guess lots of people don't like dealing with them. I have tons of Hispanic and Indian customers. Almost all of them pay in cash upfront(no cc fees), and are very loyal. It's rare that they question a quote. When they do I'll play along if needed. FYI. I speak Spanish...
  16. Today?

    my favorite: Lady walks in at 5:45. Needs a 4x10 banner NOW! I act like I'm doing some math on the computer. I print out a quote and place it in front of her. She pulls out an AMEX card and says thank you so much. I left the shop at 6:20 all smiles with an extra $500 in sales for the day. The...
  17. Deciding to go my own way. Logo critique.

    no comments about the logo. I'm more interested in why you feel now is the time for you to strike out on your own. I'm assuming that your current shop has been around at least a few years. What make you think that you can make it on your own? In general the economy is down for sure. The current...
  18. Before and After...

    It's amazing what a "car wash" will do!
  19. Does anyone have any experience hooking up a payphone?

    best advise is not to hook up a pay phone. Pay Phones attract the worst crowds these days...besides every hooker and drug dealer I know has at least a prepaid phone! LOL
  20. Bullet Resistant Sign material???

    found only in deep Brazilian jungles, this material comes from the Simianus Plant. This organic material was first discovered by local hunters about 40 years ago. It was discovered by accident when a local blowgun marksman blew too hard at a swinging tree monkey and missed. He noticed that the...
