Favourite jobs

Mines collecting the money 😆

My favourite jobs are van liveries. Especially “one off” jobs that we have designed from scratch for a customer. Seeing a blank van come in in the morning, and go out in the afternoon fully “signed up” is very satisfying. Most customers are very pleased when they see the end result as I often feel that the printed layouts never do justice to the end results.

My least favourite jobs are boring repetitive work such as producing a number of identical signs or vans. Once you have done the first, there is no longer the same satisfaction in producing identical copies. However, these type of jobs tend to be more lucrative than the “One offs” so from a purely business point of view these are to be encouraged.

I like the challenge of reproducing a graphic that has been damaged on something, done a few bike ones and the last one I did was of a big ‘uge hymmer caravanny thing….

The work we like best is vehicles. Cut and fit, lots of them we do are corporate with established logo’s etc, some we designed ourselves and some not. By far the easiest, no hassle getting other supplier prices and production, just cut and go. Give us more!!

Mine is selling stuff off of my website, phoning up the manufacturing company to send direct to the customer and checking the bank statement exactly 30 days later in the knowledge that the money is safe and in my account!

It’s a hard life sometimes! 😀

Vans in volume is my thing.

quote Chalkie:

nah, mine aren’t that adventurous – they are afraid that a shadow might cost them extra 😥 😥 😥

Seriously, they mostly just want cheap and cannot see past the price barrier, hence lots of very boring stuff around and anything with imagination stands out all the more for its rarity.

We all have the problem of customers who cant see past the price barrier. I usually find they are tradespeople, such as plumbers etc. I have a good example for people like these.
I had a plumber who wanted his van done and when i gave him the quote he said the usual “thats too much” (i think the price was around $600). I asked him what his average quote was when he went to do a plumbing job. He said “Its usually $300 – $500”. So i asked him what the problem with my quote was, and do his customers say his quotes are too much. Very sheepish look on his face and accepted the quote and had the job done.

I had a call a few weeks later from the same plumber wanting to add a phone number to his van. When he came in he told me he was working on a job when the next door neighbour came over and asked him about a job after seeing the signs on the van. It was for a total bathroom renovation. The sign paid for itself ten times over.

Also ask people how much they pay for their yellow pages ad each year and compare that to your quote for their van. 😆
