  1. Selling your business

    Why wouldn't a well qualified, equally or more skilled purchaser who has done their due diligence and developed a realistic business plan for Neato's business not expect to step in, pick up the ball and run wirh it? I'm so relieved and encouraged to have gained the skills, intelligence and...
  2. Selling your business

    I think most of your comments are a generalization that insult the intelligence of masses of people and are not indicative across the board everywhere and ignore a million individualized variables.
  3. Selling your business

    The client list and supporting file archives are valuable regardless of the skill level differences between the outgoing or incoming owners for the same reason a restaurant's recipes and guest list are valuable. If the expectation of every new owner was that they would be rolling the dice and...
  4. HDU questions for a hanging sign

    We share a small business park with a custom door and woodworking shop that has a 5'x10' Laguna who does our routing for us. We only have a 2,500 square foot shop with half being clean space for our office, design stations and printers, etc. The other half is our "dirty" space for assembly...
  5. Selling your business

    The exception to that is when the incoming owner is actually better skilled and more business savvy than the outgoing one. IF customers were as flighty and prone to switch it vendors as is being suggested, then the 60-75% of our business revenue provided by pre-existing customers wouldn't kerp...
  6. HDU questions for a hanging sign

    Thanks. We really love doing them and I'm most interested in trying to mix even more mediums, textures, finishes and various depths into the work.
  7. HDU questions for a hanging sign

    That sign is about 24"x28" so we used a center core of 1/2" MDO to glue the HDU to on each side and also glued and screwed in lengths of 1/8" x 2" wide aluminum flat bar through the full height of the sign and where the tabs come out of the top. We used the 3/4" panel hanging brackets to through...
  8. Is 1/2" acrylic an appropriate to use for a sign panel?

    I'd lean to a piece of .125 aluminum for a sign that size. When you say laser cut? Are you intending to cut the logo into the surface and infill it with paint?
  9. HDU questions for a hanging sign

    We do a fair amount of HDU work and depending on the size of the sign, we always use some kind of center core or internal frame to glue the HDU panels to. You should never rely on the HDU alone for anything suspended over anything. I suppose if you used long lengths of threaded rod with some...
  10. New Product Digital design/ tea company

    Regardless of the exclusivity of the distribution of the product, potential purchasers shouldn't have to hunt around the label for what it is you're trying to sell them. Unless we're missing something here like the bottom area below the bridge being filked with the individual variety of tea in...
  11. New Product Digital design/ tea company

    Is package design something you are experienced in? Is this for a sign or a label? The product name and its producer is so understated that I'd be hard pressed to choose it off the shelf at the store. It seems like you spent 13.50 hours on the illustration and .50 hours on the text to...
  12. Question Brands of lettering enamel

    We're in a super high UV area but have only been here 4.5 years so its hard to really tell. I regularly see an old, vintage pickup I lettered about four years ago for a contractor who drives it daily and it looks great. We coat panels with Ronan or Chromatic Bulletin colors as background all the...
  13. Question Brands of lettering enamel

    I have a hard time imagining an off the shelf, consumer grade paint would perform as well as an industry standard lettering enamel. Willing to give it a try though.

  16. Selling your business

    If the client list is so worthless and clients are so disloyal, why do folks work so hard building one and retaining clients once you've earned them? I've worked in enough shops of many sizes to know that the vast majority of revenue for nearly everyone is generated by repeat business with...

    Sorry for taking your layout and running with it.
  18. Need Help Vinyl not sticking to surface

    Is there an actual graphic being applied to it or is it just the color that keeps changing? Why not paint it if you have the facilities and its all one color? What is the use of this door that demands such frequent changes to it?
  19. Need Help Any ideas on how to make this??

    If there is a chance of your company doing more of these vehicles for this entity, I'd put your best effort into it and make it known to them that you now have the asset in your archives for the future. That should give you an edge against anyone else they go to that would have to do the work...
