Wanting to use Mr Rudds stimulus package to stimulate my business! :p
Can anyone tell me where I can possibly get a good deal for printing services?
Was meant to do all this last spring but health concerns saw me just keeping business going instead of building it.
I am after:
*Signwriting for 3 sides of tray of ute and rear of trailer,
*Business cards prob. 1000
*Flyers prob. 5000
*Fridge magnets prob 500
*Quote/invoice/receipt pads with carbon copy prob 2000
This will be in addition to a website with address on all advertising material.
;dealers; Starting to realsise Mr Rudd didn't give me enough ;dealers;
Any help or ideas for contacts or actual advertising would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks John

for my ute and trailer i have used Melbourne signs...google them, service great, turnaround fast, price good = end results excellent!

For all my cards and brochures I use Whirlwind print. they are also tops!

I am about to pickup my new garden trailer this week and I need to get some signage done.

Anyone know/guess what sort of a ballpark figure I would be looking at for just the website and phone written on both sides of a garden trailer and the back?

It would be great to hear how much others have paid so I can compare.

Thanks

Guys this isn't hard to do your self. Find a company to generate the stickers and put them on yourself. I got quotes on doing this when I first set up. Well over $2000 but did it myself fore less than $300.

If you are good with your hands and have an eye for detail it is a snap. Just gotta trust in yourself. When I first did it I was scared witless I would stuff it up but quickly learned it was easy. And if you do stuff it you just get more stickers made up.

I run two businesses and I have done the application of stickers for all our vehicles. Believe me it is easy once you know how. Sign writing from my vehicles amounts to about 35 % of our business

I have used Vista print as well and have been happy with them, the quality of the free stuff is not as good as you would get from your local print shop but the price is right.

If you are going to use Vista print I would suggest signing up then waiting a few days, they bombard you with emails offering you all sorts of deals and you can get there premium stuff for free (except postage) and you can use your own logos and designs.

We've used Vista print for a few items - I would recommend them for the paper products but the magnets are a bit so-so, grip wise. Once you've given them your logo you can make everything very personalised and develop a corporate image if you want :)
Cheers

Why not mate.....they are sending them to Greece. You have moved here and made your home here and pay tax here. Not like some of the recipients of Kevins Kash

They both have arthritis :sad: , poor things so I like to keep them warm. Most big dogs are prone to get hip problems and unfortunately both mine have had it from pups but I keep it under control with a natural diet of fish oils and glucosamine, they have been doing well for 5 years now (pain free) but they really feel it in the colder weather. Yeah people laugh when they see two big supposedly aggressive dogs with poofy coats on but when I explain they understand.

Sorry Kim, good to hear its under control. I have a 6 y.o little fella of 60kg's who is prob 5 kgs overweight so i am aware of the probs he soon may encounter. I have used fish oil in his diet since very young so hope this will help. Is the glucosamine just the normal stuff you get for humans???

Our beautiful Rotti (who has sadly gone to the big park in the sky now) lived to a ripe old age of 11. She was 10 when she had her first litter (not our choice, blame the golden retriever at the neighbours - it's amazing what they can manage to do through a broken fence pailing).

She was about 50kg and had two knee reconstructions, did the first one then blew the second one due to the stress of supporting all her weight while recovering from the first.

I had to give her daily cartrophin injections and she had shocking arthritis at the end, broke my heart watching her struggle to stand up. She was the most beautiful dog, thought she was human.

Sorry so long for the response I missed the post, yes it is the normal glucosamine from the chemist, a teaspoon of that a day and a mixture of cod liver, and vege oil (only 1 part vege oil to 5 parts cod liver) a day, just mix with their biscuits, they don't like it at first, but soon get used to it, I also give them the oil from the salmon tins that we eat, this has kept me from putting them down so far so good as the larger dog "Stella Bella' used to limp terribly until I put her on this and now she is good, if I see that she starts to limp a little I give her some MSM powder.
