  2. How do you advertise / promote your business to get more business?

    I'm currently grappling with the same question of how to expand my business. Currently, the majority of our clients come through referrals from existing customers, and I feel that this approach is limiting the speed of our business growth.
  3. Inventory management:

    Thank you for the response. Occasionally, I may not be aware that my stock has run out until my staff informs me. Additionally, there are instances when our suppliers are out of stock, especially when we place last-minute orders. I agree with you; sometimes, we create more work than necessary.
  4. Inventory management:

    How is your approach to managing inventory? For instance, if I initially have ten sheets of 4'x8' 3mm white acrylic, and I use one to cut it into a 4'x2' size, I'll have the remaining size of 4'x6'.

    What printer would you recommend for prolonged outdoor use, considering exposure to sunlight and rain? I've heard that latex printers are more suited for indoor applications.

  7. Help on staff salary structure:

    Yeah, I'm in the same boat—I'm on salary, while the production crew gets paid hourly. I've been considering offering them an additional allowance for extra tasks. For example, during busier months, they'd receive this extra allowance. But before making any decisions, I wanted to check in with...

  9. Help on staff salary structure:

    I believe there might have been a misunderstanding. The calculation for my staff's salary involves both their hourly rate and overtime pay. However, what I'm specifically referring to is the allowance or commission related to their work.
  10. Help on staff salary structure:

    Hi guys. I'm hoping to tap into your collective expertise to address a challenge I'm facing at my family's sign company. I recently joined the business and have identified several areas needing improvement, with the most pressing being our employee salary structure. Currently, we have five...
  11. Discussion What specific systems or strategies does your company employ to enhance productivity?

    My friend told me that my company should implement a system to increase productivity and transparency. For instance, we could use a system to track production status or check stock levels. I just finished my degree and I'm thinking of returning to my parents' company, specifically their sign...
  12. Suggestions Suggestion on how to manage project work flow:

    Good day everyone. I joined my parents' company two years ago and they didn't have a proper project management tool to track the status of projects. My friend suggested setting up a job progress tracker using Google Sheets, which is what I did. However, I don't think it is user-friendly...
  13. How to increase workshop productivity?

    You're right, Gino. I initially thought to bring in a system to monitor them because I wasn't always in the office, and I might have to meet with clients out of state, so by synchronizing the system using the cloud, I can track and monitor their progress. But you're right. I should seriously...

  17. How to increase workshop productivity?

    This method worked for me in the past. We have two floors in our work office, and the tools on the ground floor are green, and the second floor is red. It worked for a few days, but as soon as the paint started peeling, it'd be a mess again.
  18. How to increase workshop productivity?

    We're having a similar problem too.o_O
  19. How to increase workshop productivity?

    Thanks for the advice. I'm going to google some Trello info to see if it works for us.
  20. How to increase workshop productivity?

    It seems like a good idea than asking them to replace things if they go missing. I found some company hired a facility staff who kept track of everything that came in and went out.
