Business Magnets, Easy, Fast, and $75 a pop (set)

Recommended Posts

Here's my go at a door magnet set I made for my mother-in-law....As much as I wanted to, I didn't charge her. J/K

Thanks Banner John, the corner rounder from walmart worked great. $3.88, you can beat that.

Those look very very good! I like it.

Good Job!

PS

IF it was my mother-in-law, I would have charged her about $200 for it.  ;)

very good!

Upholstery is the business I got OUT OF after 30 years,to get into sign making.

Buy banner material raw and have her hem it for you...save money.

B U T, don't sell magnet to someone with Saturn.  Just got a rear window decal order from a lady that bought 2 magnetic signs (from another signmaker).  They don't stick to plastic or  aluminum doors!

I make them too and "wish" I could get 75 bucks....not a chance in my market.  ( 2 yesterday and 2 today).

I use to have a Saturn LS 300.  As I was driving one day, a young punk didn't stop at a stop sign & drove head first into my drivers side.  After he backed up, my door just POPPED back out & no damage had been done to MY car!

But yes, my car couldn't hold a magnet.  I guess it's a good payoff though.  Safety or Magnets...

i also looked at my wally world.. they compacted the craft-sewing sections now ;D  bummer.. no more sewing fabric.. walmart is plain stupid.. we live in a rural area and almost 99% of them shopped for fabric at walmart..  now most of the quilt makers are having to drive over an hours just to get material from another super wally.. i will have to checkout that corner cutter..

I'm using Gloss 24" WIDE 30 MIL that I bought from a local shop by the role 24"x25'.

John, I'm glad I bought the roll cause Hobby Lobby sell the 1'x2' sheets for $9.99 and it looks like I'll be making more cheer and football magnets this weekend.

What kind of magnet material do you use for these? and where can I get some?

Thanks B)

That's what I use, Seems to be small. but not one customer has complained. I saw some the other day a guy had on his tow truck, It had a Metallic silver back with black letters, he said he paid 65.00 each, and the person didn't even round the corners for him. I pulled him over on the road and told him he would lose them if the corners weren't rounded. Hell, he even tried to give me 10.00. I told him no, just take my card and if you ever need something else done let me know. He was surprised that I didn't take the money. He also sent a guy for magnetics 2 weeks later. 50.00 for the pair. Then the guy that I originally stopped, called me and said, "Man I got ripped off at 65.00 each."  That was that.
