Question First $1,000,000 in sales?

[FireSprint.com]

Hi everyone, Gene here!

I started FireSprint with my brother and a friend from high school in my parents basement in 2007. Today, the three of us are still at it with 26 employees. We did a little over $5 million in revenue in 2020. It's been a hell of a journey. We've done a few things right, but mostly just kept from messing up too bad.

I have been thinking about doing some YouTube/Facebook live streams to generate some useful content helping others in this industry. I'm not an installer, but I would like to think I have some idea of how to price products, market, build an ecommerce website, run a business, etc.

Even if we don't have the answer directly, we likely know someone that could join us on the show and take questions. Accountants, attorneys, manufacturer's reps, wrap pros, etc.

Curious if you guys would be interested in something like this, maybe weekly? I ask that you reply with questions you might like answered and a time of the day that you think would work best for your schedules?

I'd like to hear how your growth has been...for example was it steady or did it blow up? Have you had any slow downs and if so how did you handle it?

 

[Gino]

For your poll above, I didn't see it, but how long would one of these sessions last...... approximately ??

 

[FireSprint.com]

Gino, I figured an hour each. It would be recorded to watch later on Youtube of course.

Thanks Tex! Yes, we could touch on that for sure. For better or worse, we're a pretty open book here at FireSprint.

 

[Christian @ 2CT Media]

I would definitely like to attend these... I can learn a lot from you and your team.

 

[gnubler]

I would definitely sign up to watch these. Perfect timing for me, as a newcomer to the industry. BTW, I tried to sign up for an account on your website and it refused my uploaded reseller's permit on the signup form...said my PDF wasn't a PDF, so I gave up.

I certainly would participate, I think it's amazing what you are doing from the start of your business through the development of your FileMaker software system that is today operating your major company today. Not only do I admire what you have done personally but I appreciate your products and services as you are the only company I will use for the products you supply. Keep up the great work Gene!

this is because we start to do screen printing only the 1 color jobs and found more convenience print 2 color or more on the digital press, voiding the 2 screen process

We do both! We run up to 3 colors screen. Our screen printing process is very efficient. This isn't exact, but 3 colors at 250pcs, 2 colors at 100pcs and 1 color at 50pcs (24x18) are all lower cost to produce for us than our digital process.

I am definitely interested in the "building an e-commerce website," info.

 

[White Haus]

I would DEFINITELY be interested in this! Checked out some of your Filemaker videos and really enjoyed them. Anything that can help me grow my business is well worth the time investment.

Thanks for thinking of us sign folks and I look forward to checking this out if you get it off the ground!
