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...
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...
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...
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...
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" . I have about 500 designs now and top sellers are made in batches. Most orders do not...
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.
send them a link to the hundreds of vinyl application videos on youtube. customers understand a video much better and there are lots of good videos available
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.
Are you using a transfer tape with what rtape calls RLA "Release Liner Adhesion", other brands have other names for it but it makes a huge difference vs the regular tape without the "RLA"
I print a 17mil (about 450 micron) stiff canvas type wallcovering on the Colorado, asked the material manufacturer for the profile and they had one. Recommend to use the locked tension bar, locked tension bar will prevent the stiff material from lifting and causing a lamp strike when it makes...
i just had a colex installed 2 weeks ago, very impressed and easy to use. Availability might be something to consider too depending on how soon you need a machine. i purchased mine late January, delivered in May. wait times are about the same now.
the iECHO looks exactly like another machine i...
I buy the material from Canon Solutions America (CSA)

not sure if you have to have a canon printer or if they'll sell to anyone, they have lots of unique/hard to find material options and prices are great.
They have 54" x 300ft (I think it's...
