We do like to talk on the phone&#8230; maybe a bit to much.<\/p>\n<p>But, yes, corresponding by email is much better for this type of work. There are a lot of &#8216;p&#8217;s and &#8216;q&#8217;s to get just right (sizes, colors, fonts, layouts, and etc&#8230;.). You just can&#8217;t beat email for this. A phone conversation can get &#8216;old&#8217; in the mind with both parties. But if we have an email for reference&#8230; any memory lapses can be brought back up to speed very easily.<\/p>\n<p>But there is another important reason. When abstract ideas are &#8216;forced&#8217; into the written word, rambling disappears. Many times I&#8217;ve started a typing a sentence and stopped and backed upped and tried again&#8230; because it became obvious the idea would not work. Sometimes, not till the 3rd or 4th time does the &#8216;good&#8217; idea take shape. Ideas can also be organized, reviewed, and even visualized and explained much better with the &#8216;written&#8217; word. It does take more work, especially if you don&#8217;t type well. But in the end, email correspondence creates a much better product with much less chance of errors.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s tie these two points together. If a customer calls to &#8216;talk it out&#8217; (or to talk to someone to try to decide what to order) it can cause problems later. It can be difficult for both side to remember exactly what was &#8216;talked out&#8217; or decided upon.<\/p>\n<p>And again, the spoken word can not compete with the exactness of a picture sent by email. Yes, it may &#8216;sound&#8217; good when described over the phone&#8230; but will it LOOK good. Only an email can answer this easily.<\/p>\n<p>So, give careful thought, type up a draft of your ideas and concerns, review it &#8212; and email it to us. We will email you right back.<\/p>\n<p>Have another question about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.signspecialist.com\/decals\/decals.html\">decals<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.signspecialist.com\/signs\/signs.html\">signs<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.signspecialist.com\/lettering\/lettering.html\">lettering<\/a>,<br \/>\nor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.signspecialist.com\/stripes\/fastnfurious\/fastnfurious.htm\">stripes<\/a>?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First, if it&#8217;s really important or urgent, give us a call.
