happy yet frustrated lol
Well, i thought i’d make a post that wasnt for anything for a change lol.
Since taking this business over a few weeks ago, we have managed to carry out quite a few jobs.
in the couple of weeks with no advertising at all, and bringing the business half way across the country, we have completed
1 small recovery vehicle
1 recovery lorry
1 decorators van
1 plumbers van
1 gardeners van
1 hairdressers
1 coffee shop, shop window and car
1 taxi rear window
about a dozen show number plates
few items for a car clubpersonally, i think we have started off quite well so far, this has all come from word of mouth and many are a result of work done and then their mates seeing it etc.
but i want something a little more of a challenge or interesting, the vans we have done are all very very basic (which helps us with little experience) but i want to do logos etc.How did you start your business, and how long did it take you to pick up so to speak?
i really love this work, and the challenge of learning all this new stuff is fantastic. and already on this site, i have seen so many helpful people willing to lend a hand that its very comforting to know the support you can fall back on to.
how did you all get into to this line of work ?oh, and ANY tips for a total newbiee lol

Well, I got into making signs because people asked me for it…..
I do a lot of work painting and decorating and besides the ‘standard’ work people would ask if I could do murals, signs etc. Initially I would order lettering etc. cut out by another local company. But then I figured that since I did the design and artwork all myself I might aswell cut it…. So I bought a Pcut 630. Since then (2 months) I have done a fair few jobs: mainly signs for hotels/pubs/b&b’s ect. I did my own car and last week my husbands van….
I enjoy the challenge of every new job. It is still a huge learning curve, but very enjoyable. This forum is amazing. It is great being able to ask questions and get an answer so promptly.
