What is this website? MyVinylSupplier.com is a resource website for our customers' customers to determine what, how, and where they can purchase finished vinyl products. The website is rich in customer service features like:
:: a quick video tutorial showing how to hang vinyl lettering
:: a rotating gallery of 45 popular Oracal 631 vinyl color swatches
:: several rotating galleries showing 1500+ premade vinyl designs
:: a section of tips and how-to's for working with vinyl
:: a rotating gallery of finished vinyl photos
:: an easy-to-sort list of businesses who can process vinyl lettering orders
:: a section of commonly asked questions and answers
You simply invite a customer to look at all the ideas and how-to's, then have them return to YOU for pricing and ordering. We even started putting little stickers on the back of our finished vinyl orders that read "For vinyl hanging instructions, visit www.myvinylsupplier.com". It's a great resource that has no reference to MyVinylDesigner ... especially for those who want to keep us a secret!
Why did we create this website? MyVinylSupplier.com was created so that our customers would have a place to send their customers for vinyl information. We understand how much time it takes to start a vinyl business, and because most of our customers started a vinyl business to help their family make ends meet, we thought this website would be just one more way to help make it happen.
Also, this website can give your home-based business a professional online presence. Some customers think that if you're not part of a "bigger" organization, your work is somehow inferior. This website will show your customers that you're part of a "bigger picture".
For those who are concerned about being advertised among "competitors", try not to view it this way. Customers want choices and they generally choose local businesses to either defray shipping costs or to reduce receiving time. If they like your service, they'll tell everyone around you. Seek these local customers. Offer unique savings to them. Be such an exceptional resource that local referrals become the mainstay of your business. You'll love not dealing with the shipping end of things. The world is a great big place, with plenty of room for everyone.
Also, your customers will enjoy seeing the styles, colors, and vinyl uses in everyone's finished photos. A HUGE advantage that's difficult to offer on your own.
How will the website help your business? We frequently get customers who approach us about doing their finished vinyl lettering orders. To date, we have taken orders and randomly referred others out. However, we would prefer to have you fill these orders so that we can focus on the designing end of things. MyVinylSupplier.com can offer your business:
:: more sales opportunities
:: more production time
:: reduced catalog printing costs, because customers can be invited to preview the designs online
:: a pre-sort option for customers to search vinyl businesses by location, because customers tend to prefer doing business locally
:: a pleasantly designed, and detailed place for customers to see what vinyl lettering is all about
:: several finished vinyl photos, to inspire customers with ideas of how vinyl can be used in their home or workplace
:: an affordable way to advertise your services
:: 1000+ digitally safe photos to market your premade vinyl designs, either as individual pictures or as categorized rotating galleries
MyVinylSupplier.com simply gives your vinyl business more interactive tools to work with. You invite your customer to see the site, then return to you to place an order. Our retail pricing structure helps you ensure that you're charging the right amount.
Also, each design has the product number right on the picture. This helps customers quickly identify what designs they wish to order. Customers give you the product number, the vinyl color, and what size they wish the design to fit in, and you give them a price. It simplifies the entire pricing structure, and it gives you the ability to customize pricing as needed. Perhaps you could upsale designs by offering free shipping on orders over $75, or free 12x12 designs of your choosing on orders over $50.
Lastly, since we will maintain and market the website, your business will get a breath of fresh air. It takes an enormous amount of time and energy to maintain a website. Should you decide at a later date that you want to create a website or blog that advertises just your services, think of MyVinylSupplier.com as a stepping stool to help you get to that point. And, with our own customers and so many others visiting the site, MyVinylSupplier.com will quickly climb the search engine rankings. It's an exciting thing to be a part of!
How can your business get listed? Just send us your contact info with five awesome photos that showcase your work and we will watermark the pictures.
How much does it cost to get listed? Right now, vinyl businesses are advertising their services at no charge. Once we finish everything on both sites, we will set up a $5 monthly subscription fee with those who advertise. We will notify everyone when that time comes.
Can you have pictures showing your own designs? Absolutely ... we want you to showcase what you do best, whether it be your designs or ours.
What if you already have a website or blog? That's great! MyVinylSupplier.com will just offer you some additional marketing tools. You can direct your customers to the site for information or simply embed the rotating slideshows, and/or how-to video in your personal blog or site. As we add new designs to MyVinylDesigner, we will globally add the images to MyVinylSupplier, which means your galleries will be automatically updated, all the time. How slick is that?! We will always place the newest designs at the beginning of each album, for your convenience in finding them. The nice thing is there is no fee to use these albums on your site or blog, and you have our permission to use these pictures as needed to increase your vinyl sales.**
**Please remember that although you can show our vector designs to your customers to sell for whatever finished price you'd like, you may not sell the copywritten digital design, in any format, at anytime. Also, our pictures may never be sold in part or in whole, or placed in a catalog that is for sale. Lastly, the photo gallery showing everyone's finished vinyl projects should never be used outside of MyVinylSupplier.com.
