  1. Customer Instructions - DIY Vinyl install.

    I do advertise new products and it can cost as much as 30% of cost of sale but as product gains sales rank it will be easier to find, Amazon will make established products easier to find. I've been able to greatly reduce my ad spend in the last few years. My best sellers are 10+ years old with...
  2. Customer Instructions - DIY Vinyl install.

    I've timed how long it takes to make a batch, the person weeding can weed about 40 of these per hour at no rush pace, person applying transfer tape and rolling up can do about 30 an hr at a no rush pace. packaging can be done at 60+ per hr. So I can have 30 of these ($1379 revenue) done by 3...
  3. Customer Instructions - DIY Vinyl install.

    Ok I just did the math, this tree uses 35sq ft of vinyl (including waste) and the vinyl, ink and transfer tape costs me 40 cents sq/ft. $40 selling price - $14 material, $6 Amazon fees, $8 shipping - $3 labor = $9 left over for other expenses. Sell a dozen of these per day and 500 other designs...
  4. Customer Instructions - DIY Vinyl install.

    All vinyl is paneled to 28" wide because that size is perfect for shipping ( avoids oversize charges etc ) and no experience first time applying vinyl customers can handle the 28" wide size. I have 2 64" printers and 2 30" printers. No lamination, most decals are applied indoors and will last...

    The big problem with selling on Amazon are the returns, Amazon makes it way too easy to return anything for any reason. I'm at about 5% return rate which is pretty good as it is estimated 20% of stuff purchased on Amazon gets returned. it is sad what happens to the returns, we just dump most of...
  6. Customer Instructions - DIY Vinyl install.

    Most of the products are predesigned, people go on Amazon and purchase them, some we ship directly, some are fulfilled by Amazon, some are through Amazon vendor account where the item shows "sold by Amazon" .

  7. Customer Instructions - DIY Vinyl install.

    A lot of the orders are under $50 decals sold on Amazon, Etsy etc. 5 people, 4 printers, 4 cutters and now a flatbed are keeping up. Summer is slower so I can get all the printing/cutting done in 4-5 hours now. Rest of the time spent online and adding new designs.

  11. S80600 and Summa T series- Advice? warnings? pros/cons

    I'm happy with my 2 roland sg2, they've both been running for almost 2 years 6 hrs per day, not a single problem. I had a summa s2t and that was the worst cutter I've owned running along side roland and graphtec cutters, glad it broke after 2 years. Only Graphtec for me from now on.
