Someone on this forum is looking for beta testers for custom software they just made: BrysonMichael It sounds like something that may fit what you need. Good luck (this is a painful and time consuming process).

Agreed with many of the concerns mentioned (wild west being a very apt description). Theranos is a good example of people gaming others for pure monetary gains and the loss of focus on the cure or solution to a problem. It was a great idea. Sick people constantly have to get their blood drawn...

My doctor's office just implemented co-pilot and we were asked to sign a consent form. I asked if consent can be withdrawn at any time and the receptionist acted like I asked if I could cut off her hand. I am not unhappy with the thought of AI in medical uses. I have had enough off-putting...

Do you have a resource for stamped, engineered drawings? These are often required for permits. You'll also need to do a utility check. Have you researched that your client can have a sign that size and height and in a space that would tolerate that height? Have you outsourced these types of...

Per their TOS: 1. Font Licensing Restrictions Most fonts in Canva’s library are licensed for display use only within the Canva platform, not for redistribution or embedding in files like PDFs or EPS. Embedding a font in a downloaded file (especially editable formats) technically redistributes...

There's a movie called "The Sticky" about the maple syrup theft. It looks pretty funny, I've been wanting to see it when I get a moment.

I've seen a bunch of insta posts of people showing their stickers. It may be worth considering showing how they are made. People like watching those and they can organically drive traffic before you invest in a lot of ads. You could also consider offering wholesale to the trade. I've seen...

I must need a sandwich. I honestly thought that said ham and I thought... mmmmm.... ham. lol

We upgraded, used it for one day, it crashed and uninstalled itself. We had to reinstall it, so that was fun.

They are not able to handle text (yet). There was a very technical reason that I caught, but immediately forgot. Overall, the designs have an ethereal and syfy type style. Not to mention the mostly deformed hands and feet. I saw an ad on Linkedin and it was celebrating an AI conference that is...

This is both impressive and slightly terrifying.

I would confirm they are not mixing up the 911 address letter requirements for the building, with the unit number decorative signs. Have you checked with Mathews, PPG or Akzo Nobel for reflective flake paints?

Signage is a pretty small niche. It may be other structural engineers on there that could be of assistance. I remember we worked with one engineer that didn't realize the signage industry needs this service and opened up a new arm to his office to provide services to the sign industry. I know he...

Have you looked at Upwork?

A very easy to use and simple CRM is OnePageCRM. It is great to help keep up with scheduling calls and emails. Pair that with a VOiP system called Grasshopper (for professional answering services, virtual faxes if anyone is still needs this feature, lol, and an app to receive calls.

What are your product lines and what are your target markets? I've never worked with a marketing company. I have had sales experience in several industries (and of course this includes signage). We are very fortunate to get a lot of our business through referrals. I have seen a great deal of...

Each time there is an update, they reinstall copilot. I keep uninstalling it. Unless they are paying me, I would prefer not to be their test dummy. I always opt-out when I am able.

Agreed. We always provide a range to allow for any unexpected delays (life happens). Then, when you hit your ideal time you look great. If things take longer than you expected you are covered by providing a date range instead of an expected exact date. I know not everyone may be able to do this...

There seem to be two primary ways people gain access to ADA signage projects, bidding and relationships. Bidding is purely a numbers game. The more times you bid, the greater the likelihood of winning. The majority of the time it is about being the lowest bidder, but being the best resource and...

The willingness to ask questions and be proactive is a huge thing. This is how things really get done. Being able to work autonomously is a valuable trait.
