How to solicit business from high schools, sports teams ... ?

[Bill George]

So do you scan the print out from the program above? Otherwise I don't see a way to get the pattern into the laser software?

To All -
Sad, yet kind' a good to know I'm not the only one having 'tough time dealing with schools, local organizations, sports teams 'n such. (was starting to wonder.) All these groups seem to want are "donations" and/or dirt-cheap prices - neither of which, when offered, has earned me steady repeat business, 'let alone loyalty of any sort. 'Stead, gonna seek out those organizations which do hand out truck loads of plaques - 'n my case (Northern MN) - fishing tournament outfits, etc. (will mean going after someone else's well established business I suppose.) So, anyway, gonna scratch off worrying 'bout school business. (just hope those kids learning engraving in school shops - making plaques - can find an engraving shop to work at, come the time. (BTW: Tim is right: 'lot of it has to do, not with what you can provide - but, "who you know". I'm at a disadvantage there - as one competitor heads our local Chamber of Commerce! Tough to work 'round that!

The above sample I did in my CarveWright Software but it is a download font as you can see in the font list. It even works in corel.

Find the font, purchase it, and download it... Then make it a outline on your laser and make stuff... You could make the same using the tools in corel but this lets you type it in quick.

This was designed for the Scroll Saw boys to print and paste to wood and manually cut... but it works with a laser or even a CarveWright.

Is it for sale on the CarveWright website or where did you find? Ok I found it www coolhammers .com , so instead of printing like it says It can be saved as a Jpeg or Bmp ?
