  1. Know-it-all

    I couldn't find a place for this in the gifts and freebies thread..."Don't conform your mission or fight with antagonistic clients." That's a big idea that I have in my head, but I can't live it for 15 weeks in a row. Hopefully someone else will. My biggest failure in business is trying to...
  2. Helping out customers really feels good!

    Beer induced ramble correction. @ relative gifts/sponsorships You can afford what you can afford. Advertising should always be drawn from available liquid funds with an expectation of result.
  3. Helping out customers really feels good!

    Customers are your life's blood, and people do appreciate things. Situation in reverse. I worked my whole life in a sporting goods store (athletic+screenprinting+trophies) we sold it, I was under a non-compete blah, blah 2 years later... I'm wiped out, just doing anything to meet my minimum...
  4. Chrome?

    Update. @the sale I told the customer that "there was no real option to the chrome problem and don't recommend using it and I wouldn't guarantee the look for more than 3 months" just to emphasize that it was a crap product. His reply, "I have 9 year old trucks with chrome decals". I felt...

    Thanks for all of the replies. :U Rock: Cut some of that material this weekend for some magnetics for a Nissan Dealership... Christmas parade. The material was branded on the backpaper CalonII by Arlon. What about the juice? CrystalTek, rapid remover, snakeoil? We're in a bit of a cold...
  8. Hello Signs101

    I grew up in an athletic sporting goods store. I still use my first plotter, Roland PNC-1210, and PC software, Corel7 :) We got the package from Stahl's late in 1998. We used the system to cut names and numbers for jerseys. I cut hundreds of yards of thermofilm between Feb. and July every...
  9. Graphic Removal

    Hi folks, thanks for letting me in. (I will post an intro later) About 5 years ago, I lettered a tow truck. Most of my vinyl is Avery A6. The best I remember, THIS material was a custom-house vinyl from Tubelite. It's metallic 2mil (not mirror, not reflective) silver. His door logos...
