MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted June 28, 2014 Am I the only one who gets people who want to see samples before they buy or order anything from me? I had a guy call me up which is a friend of a friend of a friends. He is starting an auto shop up and wants to see a sample of a sign he can put in his window. Well of course I figured well why not I got some smaller pieces of vinyl laying around and have nothing better to do. So I designed a sample coroplast sign. Now I haven't done signs in a long time so I had to relearn what I learned. So my question to all of you, do you make samples up to show potential customers?

security802 686 Posted June 28, 2014 I have a sample sign of my logo I carry with me. I do their sign off my printer on paper. It gives them what the sign will look like, and mine gives them something to see how the vinyl on coro works out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skarekrow 1,842 Posted June 28, 2014 I have samples online, there are samples around town ( can give them addresses) and there are a few samples hanging in my shop. I haven't put together any coro mock-ups for potential clients... They're called Signs and I sell those 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrileygraphics 11 Posted June 28, 2014 My response is usually decal: look at my car, sign: here is addresses of signs I have done, shirts: I am always wearing one unless I am in my full time job uniform. I have also given out a lot of can koozies with my logo on them that I have made. This seems to be enough for all the people that are really interested in my services those looking for a "free sample" typically just want me to do the whole job for free and then they will consider using me for their next project and I don't waste my time or money on these people.

Ravenwind / One Off Grafx 187 Posted June 28, 2014 Yeah I use a printer and paper if you want a mock up. I have a book of all the stuff we have done signs, decals, cups, so on they can look at that. If they want to see a sign or whatever tell them of the ones you have installed and have them look there. I do not do coro signs they never last but a few months here.

MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted June 28, 2014 Its what the customer wants so I wont argue with him. But I had a piece I was practicing with long time ago and it has a bare side so I made one. Its no big deal. I have pictures of t-shirts, and the other stuff I have done so I will just add a picture of this too. He only wants it till he gets to ordering a sign and get it approved by the city so this will be up for a couple of weeks at the most. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
