Hi guys, I was busy lately finishing this job on a 2 weeks notice.This a-board was made out of extira, the cook and containers are printed vinyl set on 1/4 inch PVC.Of course, my van happened to be in the background:)I'll use this picture in my upcoming flyer.
(My new hi-tech drying chamber!!!) These small panels will be on a wall on the main building.
On another note, do you guys go on the road a lot for jobs, or are you well established enough for people to knock at your door,and how long does that take? I'm out on the road 2 afternoons a week and find it challenging and rewarding... If you would like to share or ask how I go about this just let me know. I know my competitors don't do this. I feel it makes the approach that much more personal!

Well, it seemed of no interest. it happens I guess.By the way Mark, I checked out your site (s) and you are a very talented artist.I love the "cutting" looks of your flame jobs.
I'd really like to get some sign products like those plastic A-boards or lawn sign frames. Is there a supplier of such products?

Here's the link to the manufacturer http://www.craftmasterdoordesigns.com/ I don't know who is the distributor in your area . It is like Medex or mdf but the fabrication process helps it withstand exterior conditions better. I have signs that are 2 years old (I'm new in the business) and are in bad spots (A-boards next to highways with lottsa gravel being dusted by 100 KM/h passing trucks+sunshine all day)And they still look like new. No warping or puffing The only downside, I feel, is longer drying times for paint and primer. I had to repaint 3x 2'x8' panels in June because the primer did not dry enough before I went on with finishing coats!

Advice from an old guy. Take risks. Don't be afraid to try new things. Stretch your wings if you want to go farther. There is so much out there. But most of all, have lots of fun...
Oh, and nice work!

And for your question, you're never gonna be enought established to got enought customer knocking at your door. when they don't see your face or not receive your advertising or your call.they forget you and just take the occasion that the competition knock at the door or at the mail or the phone.. so try to reach them often.
Nice place for fishing sur le Richelieu
