Laser engraving

[slow84lx]

It wasn't just Trump signs. There were signs for several of the major candidates.

Awesome work! I was in a shop this week where the Trump political signs are being printed. It was cool seeing a whole warehouse full off printed signs, signs in progress, and skids ready to ship.

February, holy shit. My goal after Christmas was to try and average $2k/mo revenue from the laser. I started wholeselling Trump hats the first week of February. I have almast sold and shipped 1000 hats this month and generated $12k in revenue.

We are quickly outgrowing our laser. It currently runs a minimum of 2 hrs per day. That is how long it takes me to cut a sheet of Trump patches (approx 49 patches).

I am mostly wholeselling to boutique owners and that has now generated orders outside of the Trump hats and hopefully will develop a wholesale business that will last past this political cycle.

My next two avenues are going to be band merch and the FFA show circuit. I've got a good friend who I ran a bar with back around '10-11 who has wanted to get into merch and I'm trying to convince him that he needs a side hustle so that he can make the contacts and I'll make the merch. One of my co-workers has started breeding show lambs, so I'm going to use that as an in to the show circuit. I'm a little late in the season, but it is a start.

My wife has decided she wants to do the Hunt County Fair which is 10 days. She wants to have the laser on site so that we can make personalized cups and hats right there while they wait. Along with that, there are several big names in the Texas music scene going to be there and that gives me direct access to show them what we can do. Then we have the livestock show to push the show gear.

Things are looking pretty bright and I am cautiously optimistic that this is going to develop into a decent, steady, revenue stream.

Linky?
My bro-in-law seems interested in some Trump merchandise. I wanted to show him yours. There is a ton of Trump stuff to sort thru, 75+ pages just of hats.

Well, I opened an etsy store just for trump merchandise! We wanted to keep it separate from our primary business, but I just couldn't turn away from the potential revenue stream. I started posting them this weekend on the boutique groups we wholesale to and have sold about 100 hats in 3-4 days. So, hats and cups in the TrumpYeah etsy store!

I need someone that can laser engrave aluminum. Nothing crazy, 8 small pieces that are anodized.

I can etch anodized aluminum. I can't etch the metal itself, but I can etch the anodized layer.

What are you wanting done?

Those hats might be a way to get to beat up commies without getting in trouble for it. They'll see it and start shit with you, then you can fight 'em. Or just get to be extremely rude to them in front of a bunch of people.

I wouldn't worry about getting in a fight with someone because of the hat. I would be worried someone would fuck with my car, though.

That, good sir, is the goal!

We have been consistent the first two months. A slight drop in January, however, having JUST started developing non seasonal products, i've been more than pleased! I'm hoping I can justify purchasing a more professional machine by mid year. That will drastically reduce production times and increase capacity

I wish I had the production capacity to support that! Our machine isn't capable of that type of volume!

Perhaps you just need a warehouse full of them? All working 24/7.

Contact the Trump campaign?

I have a customer in the upper midwest that has started printing a huge quantity of Trump yard signs.

An order like that will pay off his machine that cost over a mil.

Dream Big!

So, these little gems may just pay for the laser!

Is anyone interested in selling these for me? We don't want to retail them directly from our business. Being a new start up, we don't want to alienate a potential client base (democrats).
