    I fitted the sign below back in November. (the logo and the web address only)

    They have now asked for the phone number to be applied, and the wi-fi logo.

    Printed vinyl, matt laminate, also to change the opening hours on the Sunday. 1 Number needs changing and sod’s law I haven’t got the colour I need.

    phone number is: 760x112mm & will be installed locally.

    Just want to check my price before I send my quote after the last f**k up.

    Hi David,

    I had a couple of very similar situations recently. Small phone no. to add on to fascia, web address etc.
    1st one- I had the vinyl, but the job was over 1hr away, so I had to recoup what I’d lost in fuel. I charged my standard rate + travel. To the client this had no justification when you think about just one small line of text and he left it.
    2nd one- Locally, but I didn’t have the vinyl. I bit the bullet and ordered the material, done the job as an add-on service, costs/profit ratio for the vinyl/time used were bad, but you know, the client was happy and hey, this might bring on a job based on his recommendation. It is always good to keep a working relationship and provide sort of after care, then your advertising cost might improve because of word of mouth from satisfied customers?

    Sorry to drag on 🙂

    edit:
    sometimes I bugger my other local sign makers for a bit of vinyl 😳 when I’m desperate… They do help out – I would as well.
