Greetings!
This week's survey

(These survey questions are sent in by our readers. Please spend a minute to give your answer to this week's survey as one or possibly more of your industry peers thinks this question is important and wishes to see your point of view as well as others in the industry.)

Last Week's Survey

Do you think that our industry compares favourably with other trades like electricians and plumbers from a ROI and money invested? 

 

 
  • No we are well under the rest of the trades due to not being licenced. Any Tom Dick & Harry can buy a printer/cutter and call themselves a signwriter. The government has regulated other industries and therefore are regarded higher and therefore willing to pay more.
  • Certainly not, at least for the smaller business. I guess the bigger companies would compare favourably but not for us small fellows. 
  • Sign industry equipment is very expensive compared with equipment required by some other trades. You can buy a small office sized A4 desktop printer for less than $100, and yet the very same technology in a large format printer costs from $20k up to $400k. Go figure. I have an electrical contractor licence too.
  • Youve got to be kidding, there is no comparison.
  • No, They are superior money makers to us. What plumber or electrician has to spend $30,000 PLUS to start a business? We all had to do an apprenticeship but these days we also have to be computer experts, graphic designers and applicators as well as experts on colour management. Tell me the sparky or plumber that needs that much education before starting a business!!! WE are grossly underpaid and underestimated by clients.
  • Its a hard decision to invest more money. A major problem is new comers to 'sign making' over the last 10 years or so, that spend a fortune on equipment only to sell themselves short, consequently devaluing the 'sign industry'. I used to think this was an OK way to make a living - not any more!
  • You cannot call up a Plumber or Electrician in China for a quote. They are gett $200.00 per hour whereas we are lucky to get $50.00 and they require less equipment or premises.
  • Not a chance. These other guys can even work from home or a ute with little expenditure on kit compared to what we have to invest.
