As a graphic designer here are my suggestions:
1. Don't put up 2 signs. That may confuse the customer. Your best bet is to get a new sign designed, thats bigger than the current one. Then center it between the two shops, which would indicate that NorthridgeFix is taking up the two locations. That, in my opinion, would look the best
2. Its clear to me that you have a red and black color scheme on the outside. I would continue with that and create decals with those 2 colors for the new store, to compliment the other store's décor.
3. You already make repair videos, wo why not show them off? Invest in a small TV (Maybe 27-23 inches) and show off how you diagnose and fix devices.
3. Why not incorporate RGB LED strips? They'd look amazing in the windows.
4 I would suggest going with a flat, modern theme for the new sign, which will attract more customers
Good luck with your store!
as a graphic designer myself in France, i think you gave very good recommandations 👍😊
Ibrahim Chehab it might cost more but they can try using backlit posters on the windows but now that I think about it, it doesn’t really seem like a good idea because that would cover what’s inside the store.
@@soloferns856 Yeah that would definately look good
👍
Just that sign you have is perfect, I would just patch that bad spot next to the sign. I would focus more inside the store. Because whatever you’re
Doing in respect to advertising is working very well. God bless you my friend and may your business prospers even more. Thanks for the excellent videos.
It´s necessary to know about the laws and rules from your City to understand what is the limits to suggest something to the re-design. Very good Store! Thanks from RJ Brazil
If you are backed up, it’s only going to get worse and worse each day. If you can’t keep up 100% on a daily basis, you need to get extra help or raise your prices to regulate the incoming work. When/if it slows down, you can lower the prices if you want. But you don’t need to worry about advertising. You can’t handle the daily work as it is. A great problem to have. Congrats!
Great tour. I did something similar a few weeks ago, it's always good to give our viewers an insight into how our workshop looks
Move the existing sign more centrally.
Then get a vertical sign for the upright column, to bring the 2 sides together.
Similar window stickers for your new shop.
Job done!
it's so good of you to show us how lots of work you have...Allah will give you more....most people show negatives only
Holy moly buddy you have a ton of work cut out for you. Lot and lots of work. Only thin I can suggest for the sign issue is, A) Make a bigger sign to extend and fit in the middle of both stores or, B) have a painter paint the patch up with the same color.
Hi,
Just few suggestions...
1. You can build wooden open coupbords with laptop size compartments rather than the steel racks...it will give you more space.
2. Categories you incoming devices based on issue...like charging, Tristar, display...so that you can work on multiple devices with same issue...that will increase your productivity...
3. Apart from big boss..you can have someone just to assemble and de assemble...so that you get motherboard faster....also the time you spend on assembling and checking can be reduced.
4. Wires are everywhere on your work station...keep it tidy...
5. Divide the total items by days you have...so that per day items that are must to repair before going home...so that you stick on the schedule....this you need to do on daily basis as daily the qty of total items to be repaired..
Lastly you need a hand....you buisness is growing...so you have to grow your team.
Thanks
bro your shop is heaven for me
Two shops should look like one shop, fill that beige wall patch between two shops with black colour or advertisement. And full sized sign board on the top of the shop.
You are awesome. Love from India 🇮🇳
I’ve been following you for about a year an half along with STS and Mr. Paul here in the states in my eyes you are the best start what you do and there’s time I see you do more and beyond! That 50$ difference is about right that’s what I charge for same day
That’s a perfect sign if that was me just move the same sign to the center ! Or just make it a little bigger and yes put more Vinyl on the glass , like you know you have the traffic come in no matter what if you can save
Sir, it is awesome store and you are just always be alert on you're surroundings okay be safe.🙏
Splendid organization:)
Lovely and clean.
10:11 There it is, the place where the magic repairs happen.
At this rate, you are going to need another extension and more staff to deal with incoming repairs. Great to see the hard work you and your staff are doing is paying off. I wish you all the best for continued success. Keep up the great content :-)
Go 3 camera "live". Move the sign to the middle. Have someone feed you while you work. Sleep is overrated! Just keep your head and plod on. You have this, you are good! Congrats!
Mashallah Tabarakallah, may Allah give you strength to finish it all in successful way, also may Allah give Baraka 'grace' in your shop, Ameen
Paint that brown spot with the same color as the building and move the computer repair sign to the middle/center of both storefronts - don't need another sign - then take repair specialist sign to the new door or computer parts or have a computer parts sign in the new door front - that's my idea - save some money by centering the large sign
Paint the brown spot and the one that the sign will leave behind and just put your sign in the middle. Then use the same signage type on the other windows to blend it together.
I suggest revising your external signage that will occupy the both shop, adding graphics as well together with the store name like pictures of laptops, smart phones, Xboxes, etc this visual graphics will help customers far away or driving by can easily notice your shop
Hi,
I suggest you to remove your existing board and make a huge signboard which is visible from far away. I am doing same work in India. I impressed from your thermocam and lots of advance equipments. I watch your videos regularly and a big fan of you.

Hey Man. Really love your videos. I think your present sign is good. Simple and uncluttered. All you need to do is enlarge/ elongate it to cover both the stores. Making it bigger/ longer will make it stand out even better. You also need some signage on the second store glass doors and windows. You could also split the two stores into lets say a sales/ customer/ storage space and the second could be your office/ service/ repair space. Keep up the good work and god bless.
I’d say get a giant sign that stretches from both stores with led lights to make it really stand out, even from a distance, I’d say also put led lights around your store so it can be seen from afar, my dad has a few businesses and does this as well, maybe also add some new modern window stickers as well, just some ideas 😄
Your repair-shop tours are very interesstin everytime. Its so interessting to see what you have done and what you are going to do with the second shop, the next work-attempts, your stuff you buy for yourself and for your webshop. Very interessting.
Now to the question about your sign and front of the second shop. As one viewer said before, you should put the sign in the center/middle of the shop, or better a new bigger sign. It should have your logo „northridgefix“ much bigger on it because this is the thing that brands in our brain, in the brain of you costumers. The window infront of the other shop you should put some text on a sign, like the sign on your first shop. Maybe you could write what you repair like an enumeration and above your logo. People that walk or drive infront of your shop should know what you are doing, what you repair just when they were passing by slowly. And when you put your logo on it too, people would link the „repair“ with your logo „northridgefix“. But think about not to write to much on the sign, people are mostly very busy and lazy to read much text at this time. It has to be short but informative. So that would be my idea...
So i love your shop tours and all your other videos. Everyday i hope to see a video from you. Greets from austria👍👌
Is it possible to apply some vinil or paint the middle collum between the two doors? Will be great to clearly see that you shop is bigger and better trying to "connect" one wichothers with a fixed banner, for instance, and, as is , it's consuming a considerable slice of your front part. A bigger sign on the center with no changes on the logo but just highlighting the "Northridge FIX" would be awesome too. Another tech and awesome side thing is to show your UA-cam videos and the youtube logo on some device. People normally recognize the youtube logo with a UA-camR and U definitely make success on It! Congrats for all your organization and good stuffs! Anxiously waiting for new videos.
Your workload gave me an anxiety attack lol ;)
Salam, another sign might cost around $10,000 with permits and taxes. I dont know actuall sign costs in CA, but I know they are not cheap. My advice is to move the current sign in the middle and save that money for online advertising or even assets equipment etc.
But the best is to save it for family **vacation** to reset and relax for few days :) .... ask your viewers on recommended family vacation spots .. lol
People just have to wait 😊
Great job with with everything! I would say move the door from unit C from the right to the left i.e more central? Unit c perhaps remove the signs from the windows, people see customers in there that's a positive thing. Put one on the central column that tells you opening times for the week. put some signs on unit d windows as you don't use that door etc. Make sure you have console and mobile repair advertised as i don't see this much??
Been a big fan of your site and noticed your workload has increased big time , time to add more staff.
Either the sign you have or a bigger one and move it to the center and for the billboard sign I would do a bigger one because you have two spots and put it on the top part of the billboard.
BTW you’re dad have a nice chair oh and tell him thanks for packing my order nicely and for the fast shipping.
I know I'm probably late to the party but... the 2nd unused door is extremely valuable space for those window stickers, it could basically be one giant advertisement wall!
Hello sir , i am ahmed from india and i am big time fan of your youtube channal i would like to suggest you to install Programming LED Sign Board. I am sure you are aware what I mean. This is really suitable for your shop and attractive people aswell. we can insert message to be able to display at the sign board or insert any message . Perhaps you may insert pricing n many more things or whatever you like. Duno much about ( Programming LED Sign Board) how much it cost in the US. perhaps it's costly there. As you were into Web designing earlier. you can insert some nice graphics into the programming chip at the sign board.anyhow. I hope you understand. Thanks. JazakAllah khairan
Holy shit this guy fixes literally every piece of tech damn man lol
If you are so backed up, I suggest you raise your prices. You may as well. Enjoy your prosperity!
I would use one overhead store sign for both store fronts. I would move the window signs to the new side and use the new side for shipping and storage. (then it doesn't matter that the windows are covered) Then customers could see the retail and repair side through the windows. I would make the street signs bigger print for easier viewing, existing spot could say computer fix and the psychic could be changed to tablet/phone fix. Top (existing) sign should probably be the thing that brings in the most business/profit. How much you spend should depend on the amount of your walk-in business compared to mail-in.
Curious to know if the Psychic knew they would go out of business
Haha I just thought the exact same thing. I wonder if we are psychic 🔮 😂😂😂
🤪
@@TheCod3r California Psychic just called ME! They're GOOD!
@@calvinmientke3539 🤣🤣🤣
for the upper sign, do the full width! include name and the description like your current sign... but on the window in your new space make it look like broken phone screens (so it looks like the window is broken) and add text like "need a repair?" or "screen repair!" something like that. Could be fun and colorful so it really stands out.
good idea but very hard to realize
@@platinumphonesandcomputers I worked in Graphic Design for nearly6 years; It shouldn't be very hard at all!
P.S imagined that 2014 and now 2020 pandemic,, ..time the more I need it for zooming ,internet communications , like that you know so, so glad it is on the service these challenging times and of mostly online scenarios😁😀
I do that for a living in my day job, far far far away in europe, but you need to either do a board that is the same way has the old one or you need to remake everything to keep a certain "continuity" of the design/image. i wouldnt cover the whole window on the doors, it gives the feel that the store "wants to hide stuff" inside making it look "shady". I would do simple lettering for the window/door and a one big billboard on top. To put one image you could use the "brick colun" between the 2 stores, starting at the floor and ending at the top of the door, making it all flush and even. whatever you do dont think about one publicity and then another and the another, you need to think about the whole image and that needs to work with all the design elements. Also you could take one high resolution picture of the store front and give you accurate measure. on a door, window, etc (using that its easy to find all the others)
Don't you miss the Psychic shop?
Woildve been nice to have a heads up every time somebody came in...
And why did they go out of business?
How could they not see that coming?
I love this typ of videos man :) can you stream a day at work one day? 💪🏻👌
What software do you use for intake & labeling? Storefront... I would paint over the bare spot and center your existing sign, a bit of white space might be better than a huge sign.
I would put a funny big mascot outside holding a screwdriver. Something attractive not just text.
P.S I just wanna let them know that my Samsung model smt530 the biggest screen first released I purchased it last 2004 exact year and up until now thank God it is still alive and well,.... cause I am taking good care of it .... I follow all it's precautions,.. 😁😎.
Love ur videos bloke !!!
l see lots of items to fix, lots of space, looooks like jr gonna be busy for a while but what l dont see is ur new recruit to help you now that you have expanded. Hows the recruiting drive going ?
Super love from india 🇮🇳
What repair shop software do you use?
I don't know if this is allowed there, but you could attract a lot of attention if you just put your videos on an external LED wall or TV.
kinda cool idea
That may not be allowed as traffic will get distracted by moving pictures...(as that's h very busy intersection)
I just posted something similar above, i never saw this comment first. But yes, great minds think alike.
yes something that make 'eye catching'
Seems to me, that you need at least another 3 new members of staff my friend. Could i make a suggestion. I was thinking of having a mobile box trailer (like a food van type) to do repairs here in the UK. There are a lot of small towns in my area that do not have a repair shop. I thought if ever i get it off the ground have a screen showing the live repairs. Folks would be curious and would possibly create more interest. Maybe a silly idea. But it would interest me. So yes maybe a large screen in your new shop window showing you doing repairs.
You can put up one big sign and make Computer Repair bigger but you also do sales and that is not advertised. You said you get a lot of walk-ins and sell 4 chargers a day on average, maybe you should consider an additional sign for the accessories/ tools.
Keep current logo as it is because people got used to it. On the left side of the logo install bright LCD panel displaying the video you play on northridgefix.com background.
I am wondering how much repair works coming to your shop,probably it would be more then any authorized service centers.You need a whole lot of team to make yourself more comfortable from those repairs.I think ,for the repairs,you have to go for easy ones first ,so that it will increase your efficiency.Also I think you need more bigger space.Ask your neighborhood shops 'WE BUY GOLD AND DIAMONDS' (That's my field) for expansion.And for the sign board you can put a larger led sign board instead of one that has written every thing ,customer need to know, about your shop.
Good luck, God willing M.r
You need a big long sign like the gold place next door. You can do the same sign, just longer and bigger
Just get a bigger sign that covers both storefronts . The sign should just say Computer, Phone , console repair on bottom of the sign. Company name in large bold lettering dominating the majority of the area . Keep it simple ,clean ,bright , but not gaudy .
What software you use for your repair shop management?
I have the same question, love seeing a well managed repair shop.
keep doing a great work.
Agreed, please let us know
RepairShopr, I recognize those ticket tags from anywhere as I also own my own computer repair shop and use the same software!
cal14th thanks buddy, I’ll check it out.
cal14th wow, $99 per month. That’s a hard one, being in the Caribbean with our currency change that’s about $270 monthly for me.
a big LCD Screen on the empty glas door would be great
I would move the sign to the left so it sits in the middle of both entrances. Remove the banner and add the information on the wall behind the arch. Remove one Sticker from the right shop and add a another one to the left entrance.
Two signs will confuse walk-in customers IMO. I will suggest moving the existing sign to the middle area, and painting the surface which is bothering you.
Where is northbridge repair shop located I thought people do not do repair anymore it's surprising to see that it come about more intense than usual TV repairman
if i were there i will help you in all computers and laptops stuffs for free this is like a heaven of fixing things
Hire me to help you on emptying those shelves ;) ahahah excelent shop !
Nice job and video
Love from india. Big fan Sir
It's cool if your store sign has RGB led strip and sky dancer like car wash does
I sincerely consider to not use rgb led Stripes or blinking signs due to bad aspect related to organization. It have to be a perfect job to make rgb sign good to be seen day by day on a store like this. Something cool using rgb could be slow shadows behind the new plate at night.
what is sky dance, is the same like strippers?
Do you have safety doors and carbon base for fire or short circuit protection?..thats all I can see there
The xbox one s with the partial power - was it just the fet on one of the three-phase power rails or did you find something else? That problem is still sitting on my desk.
Buen video es excelen.
I would paint that middle wall section to black, like the door frame, this way it will look like 1 shop. The sign I would put it in the middle and paint the wall. The one thing is odd to me that your shop door, it is behind the column, the other door looks more visible to me.
Hello from kosovo men you ar king best
Hold fire on that sign, with the amount of business you are doing it won't be long before you take over and expand into that smog shop next door.
I think best course to catch up will be to shut shop for a week or 2 to catch up and get alot of things out of the way
Great 👌
Make that money..any luck finding more techs yet?
Byw like the shelves made from USPS boxes I thought I was the only one who did that lol
P.S why is it near gas stations the magnetic waves is quiet scary... Sir.😶 the place should be focused to it's circuitry good energies at all and no other to intercept period😐
Awesome
Sir i want to know what you are using to record voice in ear microphone i want to buy it... Same you are using
any recommendations for courses in electronics to work in that field of fixing and repairing and dealing with all electronics please reply
A sign that says REPAIR or REPAIR SPECIALIST in big letter may cover the patch.
So much stuff to fix, you really need an extra tech (:
ASK BIG BOSS!
Sir do you repair 2.4 Gz RC radio control
Es selam alejkum, i think just to make an old reklame biger to fit on two stores... old logo is good. Sorry abot my english.
Oh! I made a request to have a ticket opened for device repair but I put both devices on the same ticket. Would you prefer one device per ticket?
Thanks for any clarification given!
To add, the devices haven't been mailed yet.
Two devices on the same ticket is good. No need to create another ticket :-)
Suggestions for store front:
Replace the existing single shop banner...with large one , keep North ridge small...keep focus on any make any model...that should be highlighted one...
For the column between the two shop...use it to fix wall decal..
Make one shop for repair/storage...another for shipping...direct selling and customer corner...
Also instead of keeping full laptop....de assemble it and put its parts with labels alphabetically.
Great love from india in which country u live
😆 1 week turn around and offering expedited service? I wish! 😆 👍🇬🇧
Location Location Location!
how about international users.. sometimes some devices are so important so you take things from international shipment too ?
Mashallah
Good morning
"Visit us on UA-cam - NorthridgeFix" sign where the one is missing, so people driving by can see what you are all about
Do you do macbook air ram upgrade
I hope you find a good designer to decorate the shop
Can you show us how to open a Microsoft Surface? Nobody knows this!
How come very few samsung products come in for repairing?

Make a split sign! Two signs -- one logo.
