Hi Chris,

Welcome to our forum!

I liked your introduction it was very well thought out! Can you tell us all a little about what got you to start your business?

Why did you decide to go for the high end niche?

Thanks!

well my old man had a bizz for about 15 years i just grew up around it its all i know! i am young but i have seen the industry change so much its just not professional like it was when i was a kid my dad told a person he would be there and we would always show up and give them a major bang for there buck high quility work. i dont see this at all anymore. thats what my mission is , to surpass my compitition with the best work and image available.

With all those years your father had in running a business, what advice did he give you that helped you the most?

he said work hard never say you will be there and not show, and take pride!!! starting a business means you always need to hustle and sell yourself.

Very insightful!

Which marketing concepts would you most recommend and which have you found that worked the least?
