Hello! Thanks a lot for supporting our content. We have used the knife-less tape a few times. We have seen people use it mainly for stripes or certain areas or shapes that are very difficult to cut with plotter. We weren’t sure what angle the stripe was going to end up at and we didn’t want the vinyl to be shorter than it should, that’s why we decided to use the tape. Hope it makes sense lol.

In that calculation, did you mention what you charged the customer per sqft? The total labor plus material cost was about $540 and you mentioned a $2 markup on the sqft because of 2 colors.. so is the standard 1 color price $9.5/sqft?
The old calculator had a special formula to multiply the price you paid for your vinyl per square foot by 5 times but we made an upgrade now we have a less complicated formula and new calculator however you can still use the old version since some feel more comfortable charging as beginners in business
Hi! Can you make a video regarding weather/temperature when applying? Im in south florida, my transfer literally starts shrinking within two minutes of heat/sun exposure. On this last installation i used a tent for shade and i still ended up stopping since one side got really messed up and i believe it might've been the heat. I now have to remove and re do :(
@@RDIdecals That would be awesome. I joined your membership to have access to the calculator, and will continue the membership in hopes that you can do that. I truly appreciate what you guys do. It's amazing that after being in this business so long I can still learn new things!
Thanks for this video, great to know a tested pricing strategy! Although it will probably deviate over here in The Netherlands, both for material and labor costs. Local research is always necessary. I wonder, if people want to do the installation themselves: do you ship the decals (using mailing tubes?) or let them pick them up? BTW: I figured out the formula ;-)
Thought I would comment here under this account also. I am the same person as DWIT3D who has been commenting LOL. This (KKP) is my full time business. Sorry for any confusion 😄
Great video guys. I have a question. Did you guys always use this pricing formula? Or did you charge less before? Im less established than you guys but starting to get more install jobs... I do my jobs for much less than you guys and am nervous about stepping up my prices. Do you guys have any advice for me?
in the very beginning we were charging way less and we had no clue how much we should charge we were price guessing but later on we had different formulas but still charging not enough now we charge, square footage, difficulty and labor
Hello! We try to let our customers know - before we apply our decals - that we will end up with a few bubbles. I guess our customers aren’t that picky. Nonetheless we try to avoid them as much as possible. Also we try to get rid of them with the weeder.
