First of all....hi to everyone here. Okay, I've recently decided that I would like to join the creative and exciting field of laser engraving, etching, cutting or whatever you would like to call it. I've also decided to possibly purchase an Epilog laser. My question, though, is about attaining clients. Based on experience from anyone, is it better to go out in the field and try to prospect for clients before buying the equipment or is it better to get the laser and make some samples to show possible clients? I live 3 miles from the local fairgrounds and I thought it would be a good idea to purchase the laser and make samples to sell there during the many different events and hopefully gain clients that way. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
