Presentation:<\/strong> \u00a0Dan and Jen Peterman<\/p>\n

Dan and his wife purchased Jorde\u2019s Decals. Travis finally decided to sell, after many years of trying to purchase the business.\u00a0 They weren\u2019t his first choice; but they were happy to be the second choice. They purchased the name, as it was well known and people can continue to use the phone number to contact them for their decal orders.\u00a0 Travis started the business in 1976.\u00a0 Dan started working with Travis in 1978 when he was buying decals for many of his restoration projects.<\/p>\n

Taking over the business was interesting, as Travis didn\u2019t have an organized decal system.\u00a0 Dan, Jen and her mom sorted many boxes of decals to put things in order.\u00a0 They even have a new building to house the decals.<\/p>\n

Dan had numerous boards with the John Deere decals they sell.<\/p>\n

In order to sell the decals Dan had to go through a very detailed and hard interview with John Deere. It took over 2 years for Dan to become licensed to sell John Deere decals in the U.S. and Canada.\u00a0 Dan will have to renew the license in 2 years and hopefully the renewal will be quicker. There are a lot of reports required by John Deere for each of their sells, plus a license hologram for John Deere must be in the order.\u00a0 John Deere gets 10% of the sales. Other companies such as Case, IH, Agco, and Oliver don\u2019t care about who makes their decals.<\/p>\n

Dan, with his current license, sells John Deere decals for models up to 1975, in sets or individual decals, even single letters or numbers in some cases. John Deere has to approve all new decals. Dan has to have a 5-million-dollar liability insurance policy just to sell decals.\u00a0 When ordering decals Dan tries to obtain as much information from the customer as possible to make sure they get the correct decal.\u00a0 Things he checks are year, make, model, options on the tractor, combine, or whatever it is they\u2019re calling about.\u00a0 He can\u2019t do garden tractor decals as that license is not included with his and another person holds the garden tractor decal license.\u00a0 He does do optional items on John Deere tractors and various John Deere non-tractor items.\u00a0 E.g. Be careful decals, gauge decals, oil cans, bicycles, implements, gasoline, etc. Dan also makes old dealership decals.<\/p>\n

Jen\u2019s 73 yr. old mom spends Friday\u2019s packaging orders and she\u2019s extremely detailed and picky on how things are packaged.\u00a0 Jen helps do the bookwork on Fridays and works full time for an insurance company.\u00a0 Dan still does restoration work. They have a lady in Webster City whom they work with for making decals, Kristian or K Stein business design.<\/p>\n
