We all want more business, more profit, and to be more successful. In my past posts, I have talked quite a bit about new opportunities for signmakers, but I’ve never talked about scaling down.
After having experienced quite an “exciting” year… just like most companies, we are continuing operations during the summer.
First started as a solution to hang our own signage systems, Artiteq offers so much more for a wide range of products with their state of the art hanging systems. They have specialised solutions healthcare, education, museums, corporate and many more markets.
Static and Digital wayfinding solutions have been separate products for a long time. The pandemic however has forced the two to be used in combination.
Signdev and its founder Paul Koch are excited to announce the partnership with global visual communications leader Modulex Group. Signdev will run the all-new Modulex Greece location in Athens, providing world-class signage and wayfinding solutions for Greece and Cyprus.
Interview with Justin Pate discussing his start in the Wrap industry and growth towards what is now The Wrap Institute. We talked about his journey, teaching, social media, certifications, future opportunities in the sign industry and what lies ahead for The Wrap Institute in 2021 and beyond.
The way you are presenting your ideas and proposals has always been a key element in standing out in the market and winning more deals for your company. It is important to be very clear in communication in what you offer, but also be very detailed in your drawings so that your customer has a good visual idea of what to expect from you.
Are you ready to sell screens and dive into connecting screens over the internet, screen management, on-site setup, and technical support?
This doesn’t really sound like anything sign companies should be dealing with. However, we do see that digital is replacing traditional signage more and more. Should you just accept this or rather look for interesting ways to get into this playing field, too?
When designing and developing sign systems for indoor usage, I usually try to avoid aluminum profiles. Not because I don’t like the material, on the contrary, aluminum is amazing. Brushed aluminum is gorgeous, and besides this, it is also affordable, light, and very environmentally friendly.
I also have a “slow business” time right now. So indeed… I’m pushing the “plain” work of getting my customer and target lists up-to-date. A good list is what seeding is for a farmer and apart from the email address, it has to contain all the basic “ingredients” such as first and last name of the owner, director and/or manager of the company, as well as country, city, phone number or even more detailed information.
Okay. I borrowed this title from Richard Branson’s book, but it is very applicable to the subject of this article. (By the way, it’s a great book, a must-read for business owners!)
Something that all sign installers do on a daily basis is mounting and hanging their signs. It is very important to have a good and strong connection, fast and simple but not too expensive.
I get nervous sometimes. Really nervous… Whenever I see a sign, artwork, (or any other object on a wall) that is not straight, it starts. I try to restrain myself and walk on. However, waiting rooms or airports are the worst. You are almost confined on your seat, forced to look at the endproduct of sloppiness. Like it’s looking at me… “yes I’m here. I’m crooked, fix me”.
