Computer repair biz uniforms?

Posted on December 31st, 2009 by admin

I have a computer repair biz (mostly onsite) that I have been operating for a couple years now which has been prospering well but I am looking at other methods to help my biz get noticed.

my computer biz name has a auto performance theme to it and I am thinking of having jumpsuits or coveralls made for myself and my employees with my business name and pit crew under my business name?

you may ask why jumpsuits or coveralls?

well it’s somthing different then what every other IT person in town is wearing and should draw some attention.

They do not require ironing.

compared to the cost of business casual clothing they are similar in price and with the attached pants I don’t have to worry about what my employees wear for pants.

dont have to worry about shirt getting untucked when bending down on floor to mess with a computer or reaching up for somthing.

would you mind having someone wear this into your home or business? opinions? is this a lame stupid idea?

Thanks
Thanks to those that have posted answers! just trying to come up with something diffrent that will stand out a little more than the polo shirts dress shirts that eveyone else wears.
somthing custom made like what is on this site. http://www.racesuit.com/racesuit/commercial.html

put on some computer software/hardware (i.e. Vista Ready) logo’s including my logo. would be a walking billboard! I don’t see how I could go wrong.

I’m a 2nd year stupid for CIS and i was previously in sales/marketing for over a decade. I LOVE the jumpsuit idea. For one, it is different than the button up tops of most repair services. for 2 it gives a less intimdating look and 3 it would make the computer tech seem more "sterile" Providing you find a color that will stay clean and something that breathes in the summer I think it would be very cool. But, I would try to find something that is wearable by the employees. I know we as a group of people have the ability to design about anything, and if your employees get to make, vote, and pick the design it would give them a sense of empowerment. I do love the idea though, and when I open mine, I’m gonna copy your idea for sure.

good luck man.

Out of state sales tax question?

Posted on September 9th, 2009 by admin

I operate a small computer repair business from my home in Iowa. So far all of my customers have come to my home to have their computers repaired, so I have charged them Iowa sales tax. I recently started doing on site service and someone in Nebraska has requested that I do an onsite visit there. If I do an onsite visit in Nebraska, will I be required to get a Nebraska Sales Tax # and to charge them the Nebraska Sales Tax rate and then remit that money later to Nebraska, or do I charge them the Iowa rate and then later remit that money to Iowa?

You’d get a NE tax # and charge the NE tax to your NE customers, and remit that to NE.

If you were selling things mail order from Iowa to NE, you wouldn’t charge tax to NE customers but that doesn’t apply in your case since you aren’t selling them something mail order, you’re going into NE to do the work.
