There is a guy in my area that is very succesful

Very Impressive

 

[Just Another Sign Guy]

I know a Mobile Sign Co., named Mobile Sign Co...who operates out of an box type ambulance. They do a bang up business and drive on site , do their survey, measure vehicles, whatever and then knock itout and move onto the next one. It's a very slick setup that has served them well for many many years.

These is what I will be using for monitors, a 27" p2770 and a 19" sa300 both samsung(i dont like laptops for my business, they are little and I really dont dig'em, but its just me, even though I own 1 but I use it for othere crap like tuning my truck, porn etc.)
I might be having a quad core 8g ram alienware built.

I think I am going to name it "Vinyl Imagez The Mobile Unit", or Vinyl Imagez Mobile Signs.

Those are pretty long and kinda tough to remember. Try to find one that slides right off your tongue by shortening it up a little.

Possibly just 'Mobile Image' would suffice.

 

[VINYLIMAGEZ]

your right Gino, it does seem long, the thing is that I NEED to use "Vinyl Imagez" some where(same name I been using for years, people in town Know that name already) , and maybe "Mobile Signs" smaller underneath my logo, I don't know yet, still thinking.

 

[Gino]

So, then why not use your name VINYL IMAGEZ real big and dazzle it all up and put under it..... 'Mobile Division' ??

I use GoPayment or square from my droid bionic or iPad 2. No monthly fees & a free card reader. I don't offer to take checks in my biz. Most people have a debit card they can use instead. That's just my personal choice. Taking credit cards has definitely helped me gt sales that I might not gotten otherwise.

Looks like you're on your way to making a nice mobile shop.

I have a few big accounts from the oilfield, they only pay with checks, I am trying to run this with no hassle, I won't even need to go to the bank to deposit checks no more

I'm confused! I get the whole thing with doing mobile cut vinyl but what good is bringing a printer with you? Don't you wait for the ink to dry before you give it to a customer? What about laminating? Someone please explain!

very easy to explain:
same thing like in a shop, just mobile

 

[bayshorecreations]

So you print and then just sit there in the trailer twiddling your thumbs waiting for it to dry so you can laminate it? I thought the whole idea was to not waste time.

no waste of time, ecosolvent printers come with heater element FYI, plus if you can use a hot air gun to speed the process up FYI

only lazy people would think this, sorry

I think what he's getting at is that eco-sol prints should really cure for about 12 to 24 hours if doing it properly before laminating. Speeding it up and using a hair dryer is probably a little frowned upon by most professionals and if the customer would see you drying prints with a hair dryer or heat gun would probably ask questions... forcing you to lie about the manufacturer's written warranties and directions. I don't think lazy is what he was referring to, but what else can you do, if you are stuck at the site and have to wait even 5 or 6 hours for things to dry ??

Die-cut vinyl is one thing.... or small printed stickers, but if you're gonna do something for that Texas afternoon sun, I would hope you'd take all precautions and give the customer a valued product produced properly.
