xJoey Dubsx 42 Posted January 20, 2011 Guy calls me tuesday at like 5:30 asking if I can make him a banner for thursday (today) I tell him I'll call around locally to suppliers to find a banner the size he wants, 2'x8'. I tell him the price based off what he tells me and the picture he texts me.. He doesn't to buy the banner, he wants me to clean off his brothers banner, remove decals and permanet marker writing. I tell him I don't have time to do that. He suggests the back, and we run with it. I pick it up, at 5:30pm yesterday, design it, and he has it at 9pm. http://i912.photobucket.com/albums/ac328/xjoeydubsx/2011-01-19_21-03-24_767.jpg[/img] What would you guys charge for this?

Clos762 0 Posted January 20, 2011 That looks really good. I've never done a banner before. How do you align everything (or what method do you use?) for it to come out so well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roxanneupnorth 106 Posted January 20, 2011 You spelled warranty wrong....About 125.00 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

john! 1 Posted January 20, 2011 I'd be at $96.00 retail printed. I wouldn't even have used the back of another banner but then again if i was in your position i might have had to if it was make or break. I normally wouldn't though.There is no value in the sale from using something that's already been used to make some "new" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xJoey Dubsx 42 Posted January 20, 2011 You spelled warranty wrong....About 125.00 He's convinced that means a warranty with a guarantee. I spelled correctly and he asked me to spell it that way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted January 20, 2011 LOL I figured it was his idea not yours. Just hope when people start pointing it out to him, he doesn't blame you. A warranty and a guarantee are pretty much the same thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xJoey Dubsx 42 Posted January 21, 2011 I can always fix it. he needed it for the home improvement show this weekend and I was already planning on going so ill see him there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roxanneupnorth 106 Posted January 21, 2011 Just tell him you were looking on his website so you knew more about his products in case someone asked....And you noticed the corporate website spelled it wrong and he might want to point it out to them....

neron15210 10 Posted January 21, 2011 Back of the banner does not have proper coating /finish (unless it's double sided banner) and vinyl does not adhere properly to that kind of surface so it would be big NO-NO. When customer insist on something I do not recommend I have them sign a waver, so I'm covered when c..p hits a fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roxanneupnorth 106 Posted January 21, 2011 Waivers only protect you from claims from your client....Despite any thing a client signs if their banner fails and if you will not replace it, they will bad mouth you all over town....If you are being asked to do something that is not good workmanship it is best to turn the work down....

For a trade show, a few days, I wouldn't worry about it. Roxanne ..sometimes you just think too damn much. Joey...you did what you had to do, and probably will get a good customer out of it. I wouldn't lose a minute's sleep over it. Roxanne's hobby seems to be picking things apart and finding things to complain about. It is a proven pattern on here.

neron15210 10 Posted January 21, 2011 Waver is good in situations like when customer wants yellow lettering on white background and you advice him/ her not to do it, but customer insists on it.Or wrong spelling in this case. Applying vinyl on surface where it Should not be applyed is out Of question in My Shop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keystone Chuck 0 Posted January 31, 2011 Warranty is spelled correct on website. Forget the spelling, 1973 called and they want their pictures back. Maybe they can take some time out of their "award winning" and update site. Nice job on banner and turn around time. If you do as customer requested and you know it's wrong even after you point it out to him. You just have to say "It Is What It Is". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
