No more teaching? Dress nice & know your s**t. Be able to give them a price rite on site, catch them in the heat of the moment before they can think about it or shop around. This way you can get a deposit rite there. Store owners are usually there for opening and closing. Cash buisness' it;s best to hit them late in the day when they have all the cash in hand, or visit in the AM and show design in the afternoon/ evening. Add 20-25% to price and give them a 15% cash discount.

Have a selection of lease signs for holidays (20% off, clearance, ect.) leasing is 100% rite off and is residual income. do 2 week leases. if your traveling around, you can drop off and pick them up.

I've got a lot of ideas Pm me or call the office.

GOOD things happen for a reason......

Simple rule I have taken throughout my career - figure what your company does well first and why they get the business they do and how...I suspect Erik business is less on price on more on design and quality.

Once you understand how the business has come in - just do more of what has worked...and then add a little bit of you to the equation.

      Mounting Signs On EIFS

      By Rocco · Posted

      It depends on what's under the EIFS.   If it's plywood under the foam, then toggles are fine for a lightweight sign.  If masonry, we've come to like the titen HD (simpson strong tie brand) anchors or long wedge anchors.   The Titen HD screws are more user friendly than tapcons IMO.   They come in a variety of sizes, sometimes even at the big home centers.   Just check to see if it's densglass (fiberglass wall panels) under the foam.  Engineeners have told us that densglass isn't "structural" and that things need to be thru-bolted with uni-strut (or equal) sleepers across studs inside the wall.  A few years back, we were called out for an emergency call where someone had installed some large raceway channel letter signs to an EIFS wall that had densglass behind.  They used lag screws.  These held for a while but a heavy snow caused them to fail.   And toggles should work with Densglass but again not for any heavy loads.    In any case don't compress the foam too much.  A sleeve (mentioned above) would be needed for whatever the depth of the foam might be, though probably not needed for something light like an ACM panel.   if it's a really small sign, then appropriate exterior screws are usually OK going into plywood.

      Pepsi logo vinyl colors

      By Rocco · Posted

      Hi   Can anyone tell me the right color red and blue translucent vinyl for the "new" Pepsi logo?  We have a local ice cream spot that recently changed from Coke to Pepsi and we have to replace the graphics on a couple of lit cabinets.   The customer sent me the logo in various formats but it didn't specify the correct colors.   I've searched but keep getting CYMK, etc. for the older logo - 2022 or so.   Thanks!
