|
|
I notice that every year I replace the label holder on the trailer. Its always brittle and cracks when pulled open (Crap) I might try a Motor Bike Holder this year. Any one else noticed the holders from boat / fishing retailors are crap plastic? _________________ "STOP KIDS FISHING"

I have my labels between a couple of sheets of clear perspex and screwed to the trailer.

Those things would have been great for your bottom line Ribbit, each time the customer came in to buy a new label holder they would then walk out with other purchases as well. Supercheap and Autobarn both offer impulse buys very well. |
