Any tips on getting my name out there for the winter? Or ideas? I do tinting and decals, shirts, signs etc..

I dont have any advertising except for my truck.

Should i go business to business?

Have you tried hitting up any car dealerships? We do consignment work that keeps my guys busy on the real slow days. Go after the Toyota, Nissian, and Honda dealers as these are the cars that are actually selling. We a re kinda slow as we but maybe this will get you a car or two.

Why cant you do the lights . Wont it dry quick enough in an hour . I assume you do the film expel not the spray . did a couple when the customer brings in the material. Is it worth getting into ?

when they leave water will pool up around the lights and most likely get sucked up on the bottoms.

Drumming up business is going to be hard but your best resources are satisfied customers. You should go through all your old invoices and start calling people. When you say "Hi this is Klings Designs" - listen carefully to their response. If they say "oh wow, how are you" then tell them times are tough and you need referrals. If they say "so?" then say your shop is slow so you wanted to take some time to check in and make sure everything is OK. However, make sure you are ready to say "i'll fix it" if they say "funny you should ask, i am having this little problem"







For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
