Hi, I need to make 100 stickers of this design. Weeding it is a nightmare, especially the small stuff around the shield. The sticker is 57*12 CM. Any tips on how to make it weed better? I tried lowering the pressure setting on my cutter to 280 but that didn't help.

Do you guys work alone or own a company with employees? I work alone. I thought we could talk about our business model, what we do, and how. Share some experience etc. I want to charge my customers for logo design but I keep making free logos because Im afraid to lose a potential customer. Do you guys remove old vinyl and clean windows/cars for free? I do it for free.. What about delivery/application ? I do that for free too.

I charged him 350 dollars for this job and it was a very easy job so I did make decent money. But the thing is, other companies in Norway would charge 800 dollars minimum for the same job. I am self taught, not to brag but I believe my work is worth a lot more than even what those companies charge. It is impossible for them to compete with my skills without paying their graphic designers a ton of money. I know they have a collection of clip arts they use, and download from Google. I would love to charge more but cant risk losing a potential customer and earning 0

Pricing Structure
amaterasu replied to JLS Design's topic in Business Practices, Sales and Pricing, etc.
When you say $50/hr. Does that include designing, cutting, weeding etc. The time it takes for you to drive from your home to the customer etc. Or only installing the graphic? -

I know but some products like the one i bought earlier are designed to reduce tack permanently so the vinyl peels off easier. Thats what the supplier told be when I complained about it taking too long to dry. -
Why are american cows so big? Are they on roids?

I checked their website, they dont sell rapid tac anymore I found another company that sells something called Hexis Easypose Application fluid. Have you tried or heard about it? In the description it says: Reduces tak for wet application on glass. I know it sounds right, but I bought something similar from a different brand once. And it didn't work at all. It did reduce the tack but took the vinyl up to 2 days for it to dry and stick so Im very sceptical -
I dont work for free, I charge a price that I just randomly come up with, I just offer a lot of my services for free. I know other companies charges a lot for those services but they can afford losing some customers, I cant. I still haven't tried charging for those services though. Maybe I should but I dont want to scare them away.

I made my accounts with dummy mail addresses to avoid spam, then I lost my login info. This one was fortunately synced to iCloud. Im thinking its better to make a little money than to make 0. Thats why I do almost everything for free. For instance the last job I did, I designed the logo for free, installed the graphics for free, cleaned his windows and removed the old vinyl for free, charged nothing for delivery.. He asked me to make him 3 posters, I dont own a printer so I offered him to design the posters for free so he could print them out at a printshop. Im afraid they will turn my offer down completely if I charge anything like that Ill check your thread

I know, I made it smaller at first, but then I thought, they are serving kebabs.. Who cares? It works better this way, maximum.... whats the word Im looking for? They are opening tomorrow, I joked about it and then they said they will give me a free meal if I work for free, they joked too but I cant see them giving me free food to be honest

You are absolutely right, reputation means everything and I shouldnt risk ruining it to save money that is nothing next to what I could potentially make. I Wish!!. I wouldn't be able to install a small 10x10 even if my life depended on it. -
Its called "storfe" Thats how the cows look like in Norway. They are huge and buffed in the U.S right? Ive seen them in movies

I have to pay 50 dollars incl shipping for right on. How long does it last though? Is it enough with 2-3 sprays on a.. lets say, 100x70 cm graphic? -

I was actually thinking about changing to 751, but they dont sell splash or rapid tac here, they sell something called right on. Pretty expensive stuff but I would gladly pay the money if it fixes my problem. Yes I am using paper application tape. -
So Ive seen many different vinyl brands offering their vinyls with air release technology. Is it really worth paying the extra money for it?

I just read on the rTape website that rTape RLA dont stick together. Is this true?

May I ask what font this is?
