Hi!
My name is Michael and for the last 25 years my fulltime employment has been designing & installing vehicle graphic, decals, pinstripes and signs... exclusively for car dealerships. During that time I've become a Husband to my beautiful wife, battled stage 3 colon cancer and became a Daddy. She is 4 now and keeps us quite busy!
For years I resisted opening my own online shop. I had seen the quality (or lack-there-of) of the products sold in that marketplace and had no interest in joining the sketchy world of cheap, bad graphics. From the very beginning, customers would bring me what they bought online and ask me to install it. Most items were completely un-installable! I would either have to doctor them up to get them to work or tell the customer that what they had purchased was trash and had expired years ago. "You get what you pay for." was a common expression.
However, that all changed in the fall of 2021, when on whim and sort of as a joke, I posted a decal on online that wasn't offered by anyone else. The response was tremendous and it became obvious that there was a market for high quality graphics, sold by a professional, that offered excellent customer service... so I opened my Etsy shop.
I have a nice following on Etsy and the sales keep coming in. However Etsy has lost touch with their roots. While they say they don't allow it, they allow shops that clearly are reselling cheap items from China. In addition, they don't take any action when its clear the items being sold are being mass produced and distributed via various shops that are clearly just "Fronts". Etsy seems headed to become the next eBay and I'm not interested in that.
My wife saw a review for Goimagine and recommended I check it out. I liked what I saw. I look forward to joining this community and helping it grow.
I endeavor to treat each one of my customers as I would my usual clients... with respect, honesty and attentive service. I always design, test and refine the items that I sell so I can explain to you how best to install them and I refuse to sell items that use cheap materials.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me and I look forward to working with you in the future!
