Finding out how little I know...
« on: December 24, 2011, 04:49:48 PM »
Hi, my name is Carla and I started screen printing in 2006. My BFF and I bought the equipment second hand, set up and then had to learn how to use everything.  We googled and youtubed, bought books and DVD's.  It's been a great experience.

I'll be buying out my BFF's 1/2 of the business at the beginning of the year. Her MS has gotten the best of her strength and she feels it's time she hung up her squeegee. It's a very sad time for me but also very exciting because I'm looking forward to revamping the business and learning more marketing ideas.

I live in a very small community so I only screen print and heat press. Looking for ways to make part of the business mobile for fairs and festivals.

Looking forward to what I can learn from this forum.

Welcome to the Forum Carla you find a lot of knowledge and people willing to help.

Preston the founder of the forum has a mobile screen printing trailer. So you could pick
his brain for ideas. There are also a few threads on here with good info on going mobile. 
When you want something done
Talk to the organ grinder, not the monkey.

What happened in the past has everything to do with what we are today.

Even if you're on the right track, If you stand still you will get run over

Mistakes!

We don't make mistakes. We find ways that don't work ..... well.

Welcome, and ask our opinions, you're sure to get one. And feel equally free to give your own.
