Sue2 920 Posted September 6, 2010 Hmmmmm, the online Sign Price Calculator comes in at a whopping $240 each!!! It's usually not that far out of wack. Sue2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted September 6, 2010 sign price calculators are worthless. They don't take into account the area you live and what the competition is charging. It's like houses...a house here that sells for $200k would sell for 10 times that in some areas of the country. Calculators are good for maybe one thing...telling you how much you have IN a job. How much you charge is up to you.Simple fact: The Market determines the price. Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rrc1962 0 Posted September 6, 2010 I won't even touch a banner. They print them around here for as low as $2/SF. When I quote a banner, they are usually trying to get it cheaper than that. I quote $5/SF. If they want to pay that, I'll do a banner. In just over 2 years here, I haven't done one yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted September 6, 2010 funny,that. Banners and coroplast is almost all I do, and I have no problem at all getting the prices I ask. Of course, printed banners around here go for $10 or so a square foot. Funny what a difference a few hundred miles makes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your not kidding John, I just did a banner today for a customer thats 2.5 hours away and I charged $640.00 for it. I could never get that for it here. They were very happy with that price too!

Of course, printed banners around here go for $10 or so a square foot. Funny what a difference a few hundred miles makes. I do lots of corroplast. Yard signs are hit or miss. Half the calls I get are people trying to beat online screen printing prices of $1 or less per sign. We've done quite a few of the larger political signs (4'x4') in smaller quantities. To get these screen printed online, they have to buy in quantity to get a decent price, but then shipping ends up being more than the signs. I've had a few banners printed for our steel shop by a printer downtown. Factoring time and materials, it's cheaper for me to have them printed than to make them myself.
