Coronavirus - effects on business

[Maxie]

One thing we have changed is our pricing, we always did only high end printing and looked for jobs that other printers had a hard time printing.    We said we want to be the best and the most expensive.
Corona has changed our thinking and we are finding a whole market of work clothes that are mostly one color prints on a few hundred shirts.      Charging much less but still profitable and great for these difficult times.
We never got any of these orders because we out priced ourselves.

There ya go, work smarter, not harder... Hang in there guys, we will be phased into our "new normal" here sooner than we think. Once we get schools back up and somewhat operating, life will settle out. No, it won't be what it was this time last year but kids will always want to play sports and roofers will always have work. Find your market and have at it....

28% down from last year at this time, hired another person, expanded to the take over the whole first floor of our building (double the rent)...no idea what i was thinking..LOL

My staff are taking their vacations this month, so im good with that. Then in august we will all be in our spots and we can start kicking ass..LOL

Hopefully things open up somewhat.

Hoping schools go back to normal somewhat this fall. In Jersey they're already telling parents that their kids don't have to go into school if it makes them uncomfortable. Looking like it might be Zoom school until a vaccine is available to the masses.

so my wife is on the committee here in our county regarding opening all schools and activities. Apparently all grades k-12 are going to do A/B days between in school  / at home....which is a GIANT nightmare for working parents along with the fact that, if my kid goes to school part time, why would it matter if they went full time!? you are still in contact with the same people. Let's not make this harder than it needs to be....I'm just ignorant of all this stuff, my BS meter starts going off...

I'm just over it. Open it up -let's go full send, stop buying into the media's scare tactics, let's get back to business and complaining about the Kardashian's or some other useless crap

Couldn't agree more!

AMEN!

[Ross_S]

Agreed!  Over This.

[mk162]

You guys that are saying open up need to slow down.  We have to wait until Bill Gates allows the release of the vaccine, otherwise the 5G cell signals will make the virus mutate and reproduce faster.

I couldn't help that.

I say open it up.  The virus is proving less deadly than before.  We should still take it seriously, but we can't kill the economy in the process.  The cure will be much worse than the disease.

100% Agreed
Its like using a condom every other time and expecting no babies!!!  Every other day going to school ?  POLITICANS

For Me , Business is more profitable. Travel Has been cut down. Between Install In Mississippi, found out after that some had tested positive.
Flying on American Airlines, Forget 6' distance rules when,100% seats are filled. Been tested for virus, after 3 weeks, results compromised. And?
Big Customer of mine LA Apparel Had many people test positive, 4 plus dead. yes I was there in past month. I am on so called no fly list, because
of them. I have seen many of my customers printing mask in dirty conditions! Of these 350+ people testing positive, sewing mask for Gov. Newsom
100,000 per week, I would not want to be wearing mask made by them. Such hysteria on mask!!  Are they being made/printed in clean rooms?
Is Covid Real ? One of my Daughters is Pharmacist in NYC on Coro Floors, The other is a Emergency Room Doctor In Level 1 Trauma Center In Jax Florida.
So I have my concerns/worries. Their stories are inconclusive at best. For Me The Damage Done Economic Damage To Country is Worse Than The Cure!
My Opinion Is To Get Back To Work. Do it with your health in mind. If you are not in go health, isolate. I do believe the situation is more Dire Because
it Is Election Time! Cure will miraculously appear after election no matter who wins!!!

I'm just over it. Open it up -let's go full send, stop buying into the media's scare tactics, let's get back to business and complaining about the Kardashian's or some other useless crap

It has been my opinion for a while that the people making decisions do not have the right stuff to be able to make the right decisions.

Agreed on that! My sister says that the media is telling us what we need to hear. Perhaps, but I smell hidden agendas everywhere.

 The media is telling us what makes them money. Headlines create ratings. George Floyd needed 8 funerals because why? Hourly coverage of a "kill us all virus" with a 99% recovery rate because why? M.O.N.E.Y.

why was golf....GOLF.....the first activity to open back up? Yet camping and other outdoor venues and activities remained closed? Maybe CEO's of large companies don't go camping in state parks miles away from other people, maybe they GOLF.... It's all bullshit, change my mind.....

yep... ?

The virus can kill you, don't mistake that. I lost a high school friend to it. But yes the media would sell it to you like if you get it you die.
