Thought I would share now mine have arrived safely and I am happy to recommend.

First, since I have rebranded I have been searching for months for someone to re-do the decals in my rear windscreen for a reasonable price (or even to respond to me with a quote would have been nice in some cases  :shock: ).  Then on Wednesday I stumbled across this on eBay //http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260339047092&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT.  It arrived today and looks good, the guy even put up with me emailing him dimensions and a mock up, sending him links to the specific fonts I wanted him to use and even instructions on how I wanted the letters laid out and stretched.  I have to remove the old decals and put the new ones in tomorrow but once I have I'll post a pic but I am impressed so far.

The other bargain was my roll up banner.  I ended up missing out on the really good bargain so could only afford to go for the one and again I'll post a picture later but here is a link to his current auction http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BANNER-STAND-Top- ... 0493811442.  A word of warning the same guy has various banners at different prices but they all have different postage prices too!  Not much in it but they are all the same product descriptions.

Right we got the decals in the screen of the car but not without a bit of hassle.  The price really does have a bearing and if any of you go for this please choose a nice large rounded font as all the little sticky out bits were a swine and Paul and I have very little feeling in our fingers it took that long!

The other error is one I am referring back to the company as it is their mistake not mine but boy do I wish I had spotted it BEFORE we put the decals in!  See if you can spot it  ;)[attachment=0:2dxiraau][/attachment]New Misspelt Decals.JPG[/attachment:2dxiraau]

Well I can't fault customer service as he has already come back to me to say he will post out the replacement word on Monday!

Dave I shall have to go and look for the details as I can't remember them for the life of me where I got it from but in the meantime here is a pic of my new banner.[attachment=0:3sk2gbsi][/attachment]DSC03693.JPG[/attachment:3sk2gbsi]

Few things I would change as and when I can afford to but not bad for a first effort and much easier to sort than a proper banner!  I figure if I ever have to use it outside (on the distinctly unlikely prospect of my doing a pay per face event I can tie wrap it to the gazebo legs  :)   Still very good quality for the money I paid and even my perfectionist of a husband was impressed with it.

I like your stand.... looks good.... as far as the error on the car lettering: in one of the parks a man was painting park benches, and on each of them he left a sign that read Wet Pant. A couple walking by pointed to him that it should read Wet Paint. to which the painter responded: Nah, we used to write it properly and no one would pay attention to it. ;)

Be careful of wind!!!! if you put it up outside - we had one tied to a very large pillar and the banner still tore at the base and flew off.. we had extra weights on the base as well

A suggestion on signs.

Have you web address at the top.

The www. & .uk.co does not have to be the same as size as your name.

Reason is any photos will have your details and the person reading it will remember you have a website.

Stand in front of you sign and see what people can see.

Contact details at the bottom will get lost.

Would have thought those wind surfer shape signs would be ideal for outside use.

Cheers Fuzzy! I know that now  :roll:  but in any event it will always be displayed where I have my business cards too so no great problem.

Tip for business cards.

put a sign on the holder "Please take one"

Also if you cant display your cards wear a badge "Please ask for a brochure"

When they ask take their details and send them one & give them a couple of cards.... One for them & one for a friend.
