some people just don't get it
« on: October 11, 2013, 08:23:23 PM »
Lady calls this afternoon
she says how much do you charge per letter
we say we don't charge by the letter but what are you looking for.she says I am going to the Buffalo Bills game on sunday and I have one jersey I just bought & want to have a name & number printed on it by saturday night (for the time challenged that means tomorrow night).
We say we do not print one item or take in customer supplied goods.
She says can't you just do this because I really need this for the game on Sunday.
We say the cost to stop our work set this up and print one item is 3 - 4 hours from a cold start and the price would be way more than you paid for the jersey ( we were thinking maybe she would get the message and just buy a jersey at the stadium or just go away.)
She says how much is that,
we say we charge 1/2 the rate of local auto repair shops they are at $59.95 / hr so we are at $29.95 / hour x 3 hours = $89.00 .
THEN SHE SAYS.........I can buy an official Bills jersey for that price....................

ignorance can be cured stupid goes on FOREVER...............here's you sign

I'm starting to love jobs like that, 3-5 minutes work tops with a vinyl cutter and heat press and an easy $20. We have a stream-lined invoice system for those that need one, most are happy just to pay cash. I'd these jobs all day, every day. Of course if you're not set up for vinyl that doesn't help you.

 For the first offense, they give you two Buffalo Bills tickets.

I'm with you Inkworks... we would nail this out in Vinyl... granted, I'd charge about $40 bucks for the last minute nature of it... But we would probably get the gig.

This reminds me, I need to text my printer to praise him on his late night stays the last two days to secure a potentially good client... I gave him a nice bonus for it... but he pulled a late night again today.
