Quote from: Homer
and for the record, custom ink makes us a ton of coin. Can you match this price? you bet!....

I love people giving me a quote from Custom Ink.

We haven't answered the phone in over two years here.  Hell, we don't even have a phone plugged in.  Our number just directs people to either text or email for service.  The only reason we keep a phone number is because it is a package deal with our fax line.

See here we go again comparing to custom ink? Everyone has there business plans and business practices. Custom inks formula obviously helps some and hurts others but they do combine everything being discussed her. on-line design and ordering, yes they answer the phone, I think most buyers like some kind of human contact at some point in the process and we all know with a strong on-line presence the conversion rate IS much higher with a human follow up. But that's not everyone's model. The bottom line is what custom ink is doing works and fills a market apparently none of us were able to fill. That's why its important to just be happy and focused in whatever lane your in as long as your making money. With 35 years in this business I am no expert and have been a failure more times than I would like to discuss but was a custom ink printer for 5 years and understand there model.

We all seem to forget that the average customer can't even tell you the difference between a poor print and a average print or between a average print and above average print.  Screen printing isn't rocket science folks. We are not changing the world. We are not doing special work.  We are just printing shirts. Custom Ink is nothing more than a bunch of people just like the rest of us here...printing shirts. Some are better, some aren't. But over all its not as complicated as some pretend printing is.

Printing for the most part isn't complicated...dealing with people can be.

And actually the more I think about it we tend to think of only customers, but to a lesser extent it's employees too.
