Hey thanks that's helpful!

Because they tell me they are when they come and interview. It's endemic. Here in Canada it's mostly indians not Mexicans. I feel bad for them, they make significantly less than minimum wage and their employers tend to miss payroll and find reasons not to give them even that.

That does seem to be my competitions' strategy

Does anyone have experience sponsoring immigrants to come over for sign work here in Canada? I get many applicants from Latin America and Europe, but I don't have a good understanding of how much work it is to sponsor

yeah glad to help man. So frustrating to constantly have cards getting compromised.

Nice that it isn't happening to you! Might as well switch to their paypal option for paying to stay safer though They've clearly had a large IT breach there. We have a sinalite specific email that only receives emails from sinalite and nowhere else. back in the spring that email was absolutely...

yes it's like clockwork with them for me. I have two shops and two credit cards so it was a little easier to figure out. This month someone accidentally used my card with sinalite, and i started seeing random charges from Quebec and Mississauga again.

Sinalite out of Ontario Canada is continuously compromising my credit cards. Just putting this out there in case anyone is ordering from them and hasn't figured it out yet. You can use their Paypal pay option instead and your card won't get compromised.

Usually the chromed finish, although we need matte black for the specific order I'm having troubles with. Curious how you do with this! I did end up finding silver ones from Signbracketstore. I can't say for sure, but it looks like they actually make them in house instead of ordering from JRS

I'd take like 10 24 ft lengths if i could get them and just cut them myself! They're a niche product but they look much better than angle iron

Has anyone been able to find Corridor brackets?

It turns out a whole bunch of our suppliers use them to supply us

Where are you guys getting your sign making extrusions from in Canada? Grimco has a fairly limited supply. I was just looking up Signgineer that JBurton was recommending, and Eastern Metal Supplies has way better stuff available for raceways, sides of cans etc..

Does anyone know of a good Dinoc alternative? I like Belbien quite a bit, but their shipping charges really just make it infeasible for smaller orders.

I can't speak to what has the highest reflectivity, but we buy 3M's vehicle grade reflective for even decals that need to go over big body lines on fords. Hopefully it's in your price--that stuff is 4k a bundle!

3M IJ180C works for us when we're worried about it. It's high tack, and long term. Obviously more expensive though

I'm consistently amazed that anyone thinks I can stay organized and on top of their job over text. We do 500ish projects a month. So impressed with people who can track that properly over text.

The biggest piece missing here is just when you're trying to do the upsell. You should qualify by phone, and sell them by phone at the beginning of the process. Trying to sell by email isn't something I'd recommend. If i were you I would limit your email upsells to things that are easy to...

I won't offer a lower priced option if i want them to go with dimensional. It's hard to make the decision to go with a $1500 sign when you know you could get away with a $400 sign. But as mentioned in this thread, nobody knows what a sign is worth until you tell them. Sometimes people just want...

Signboom out of BC Canada can do that. If it's a banner then someone is just printing on 8 ft banner and seaming it together.
