So I get a call today from a well known local real estate company wanting a price on 2'x3' aluminum signs. I immediately asked why they were calling me and not their regular sign vendor? The very young lady explained that they were shopping around for better pricing due to the economy...
I said to her, well you have just called the most expensive shop around and to keep on calling I think I heard her jaw hit the floor! I know that most realtors buy their signs in quantities and they are screen printed for the cheapest price they can get. Even though I have a flatbed, I just can't be bothered cranking out signs for a few dollars profit. I guess we all have to decide what we will or will not do for a buck, but I want to make good money on the jobs I take on!!!
