 Here I sit restlessly staring at the ceiling thinking about a screen printer's tomorrow. Yup, you got it right - a case of insomnia.
I am looking forward to the rising sun. I plan on catching up with Mike Allen of A&B Clothing Co. in Gardner, MA. He runs a screen printing shop set-up for walk-in customers. I want to pick his brain and find out how he likes the retail-end of business. I also want to know if the rent makes for a more stressful operation and what his outlook is for 2013. I also plan on checking the PO Box to see if any new 2013 catalogs were sent my way. Who knows? Maybe I will find another Playboy meant for the garage that rented the Box before me. I am enjoying my idle time this week. Well, not really but instead of printing shirts I am researching garage/office leasing and what it will take to bring Tully Ink up to the next level. Just received a bulk order of b&w stickers so look for us on your local Boston street signs ;) Well, thanks for reading the first hazy Tully Ink blog post! We are looking forward to a BIG year and can't wait to offer what we have in-store. Good night friends :)

I know you want to get out of your garage but a retail location is alot of work...Not only do you print there but now you have to take care of the walk in public and answer the phone and make sales calls to potential customers after shop is closed...not that easy to walk away while printing? I dont know where you live but your talking probably almost 800 a month some places 1500 before you make a nickel.

I know, I remember the days of Landscape supply retail - those annoying customers that would ask a million questions only to buy one cobblestone. I realize I should take a mental picture of how easy & basic a business it is currently. I might think a bigger operation is better but moves like that do bring more headaches. 3/3/2013 10:01:42 pm
Good information about screen printer .The first time I came here, less than 10 seconds the display is perfectly open, and the loading is completed less than 20 seconds and to open the article only took about 7 seconds. So I think this is very fast! Incredible! Trying to maintain! Leave a Reply. |
Greg TullyWhen not printing then running along the Charles or at a Red Sox game soaking up the sun.
