Default How busy are you?

How much business do you see in a week?

since everyone's situation will reflect their answers, here's a few specifics to put everything in perspective:

-how many orders in a week? how many pieces in a week?

-how big are you? # of people working, how much equipment?

-how big is your location? small town, big city?

-what kind of marketing do you do? (if any)

Default Re: How busy are you?

Not nearly busy enough, since I still have way too much time to read forums~!!

I have no idea how many orders and/or pieces in a week. Weeks we do shows we do a lot more than times we don't. Our websites are now regularly getting orders, though sometimes a week goes by with nothing.

It's only myself and my son running this business, out of house. We do mainly inkjet heatpress. Have a MightyMax 15 x 15. Hope to get a new one this year. We have several Epson printers (C86/C88). Because we do shows on the road, one of most coveted pieces of equipment is our QUIET portable generator~!

We live in a very small town, so we have to develop our marketing by doing the vendoring or promoting our website. We've done limited website promotion, but we have experimented with banner ads on forums and google/yahoo.

I print 3-5 orders a week. ~300-500 pieces. Just me right now. I have a few friends that help print and clean screens occasionally. Desperately in need of a full time printer all of a sudden. Small suburb of a large city.
