    Hi all,
    Had a customer last year who wanted a picture of him and his staff on his new van. Also wanted lots of text and gold.
    I did my best and superwide did the prints………
    £460…I definately messed up the price on this one (hot) 👿
    Next time it’ll be twice as much 😉
    Cheers
    Joe

    excellent work joe..
    im with bob,, not that you havent said it yourself… but too cheap mate!… maybe £650 dont think we would get much higher up here in scotland… 😆 you know whats we are like! 😉

    as for the prints.. the picture looks pretty detailed. how did you find the print quality mate… on somthing as small as this (& i dont mean this is small, just for superwide it is)
    was it pixaletd.. if so were you totaly happy with the quality!

    I would have charged about £1250…

    …then rung Joe up and got him to do it for £460 and pocketed the difference! 😛

    nice one Joe – seen this before at your place – very smart!

    more soon

    Nice job Joe if you charged £460 I would probably have done it for free!!
    Seriously I would probably have been about the £650 mark and we always seem to be to cheap, so I think Robert might be a little out with his guestimate. If I were charging £650 most other sign companys in Scotland would be charging more and getting it.

    Thanks for the help on the pricing lads, the prints cost £70 ish and when I quoted for the job I seriously underestimated how long it was going to take.
    Rob……I forewarned the customer about the print quality and showed him a superwide sample….told him to look at it very closely and he agreed it was a bit “dotty”, then I took the print from him and showed it to him from four feet away and he said it was fine. I usually tell people no one is going to get the magnifying glass out to inspect it and he agreed.
    The print quality from superwide is as good as I need, I had another quote for the same prints and I think it was about £230.
    Cheers
    Joe
