Slicing and Dicing my way to fame and fortune -----
Using a basic 30" MH-series machine, decided to just open a retail operation, working out of a small shop (paying $500 a month rental).
Since day one, the shop has had a steady flow of walk-in traffic.
I've been ordering sign materials like crazy -- Banners, magnets, coroplast, maxmetal, lexan, mdo, PVC, foamcore
Best investment -- plastic holder for the application tape rolls. Found it on ebay.
Often-used vinyl -- 30" black
Most Standard stock item -- coroplast sign blanks (in bulk w/stakes 100/case)
And the beat goes on...
