The first layout was chosen and the purchase order was written up and signed for approval.
The final product was outstanding and the client was very pleased with the exposure he received. This particular store is just a ways off the highway, and the visibility was amazing! 
It is so important to stay in your customers mind! Sending a follow-up thank you letter adds a nice touch and lets the client know you are grateful for his business Lets do a little homework to figure out just how profitable this display was:
· Sales 2 Hours
· Design Layout 2 Hours
· Design Prep work 4 Hours
· Installing Display 8 Hours
· Invoice and Follow-up Letter 1 Hours
· Removal 3 Hours
TOTAL 20 Hours
Total invoice was billed out at $970.00, that translates to $48.50 per hour. Where else could you make that kind of money? Let us figure out the profitability if you were to hire out various positions:
1) Graphic Designer 2 Hours @ $35/hour = $70
$970 - $70 = $900 Leaving 18 hours of your time invested works out to $50.00 per hour Hmm….might be advantageous to hire out this position!
2). Artist 12 Hours @ $20/hour = $240
$970 - $240 = $730 Leaving 8 hours of your time invested works out to $91.25 per hour Hmm….might be advantageous to hire out this position!
You get the picture! Just for fun, lets see how profitable it would be for you to hire out all positions:
3)
· Sales Rep 2 Hours @ $25/hour = $50.00
· Graphic Designer 2 Hours @ $35/hour = $70.00
· Artist 12 Hours @ $20/hour = $240.00
· Window Cleaner 3 Hours @ $10/window = $100.00
TOTAL 19 Hours =$460.00
$970 - $460 = $510 Leaving 1 hour of your time.
THAT’S $510.00 PER HOUR FOR YOU!
Hmm….might be advantageous to hire out all positions!
Is this possible? You better believe it. This type of display is very productive in all areas as there are no graphics involved or lots of text. Not all displays will generate this type of return but guaranteed they are out there! Fees for hiring out these types of positions may vary, it would be wise to investigate all options!
