I guess my thought process is that I would rather sacrifice sometimes and work for less then feel like im too good and and keep my prices up and not have any work at all,lets face it most everyone on this board and in this business knows there is a high profit in window tinting whether it be auto or home ect. of course I dont want to be the one known as THE LOW BALLER I dont think thats good for the industry either but somtimes we all got to bend some to keep food on the plate. Its 14deg. outside right now people just bairly want to walk to there car .

Remember, film does work well in the winter time as an insulator. Check the u-value...the lower the number the better the insulator (I think thats right...V will keep me honest).

I understand what you're saying though. It is tough this time of year. Instead of throwing something in for free, how about offering referrals? I tell my customers (for residential) if they refer me to others, I will pay them $50 per referral for the first 5, and $100 every referral after that. The referred customer has to buy a minimum of 200sq ft for referral payment. So when you ask someone how they heard of you, you know to roll the $50-$100 into the price to pay the person who did the referring.

The customer feels like they can make back some/all of the money they spent with you by telling others, which is a win win for both parties. I have had great results from referrals!

Giving away a free car installtion with a residential installation is an interesting idea, however, there are many who do not wish to have their car done. You would be better off quoting your regular pricing and then offering a discount OR another type of incentive. Something such as free gift certificates to local restaraunts or gas cards, Then you have an exact dollar amount returned, which can be written off on your taxes as entertainment expenses. Plus you have one less thing to worry about. They will find more wrong with a car installation, which in turn will send them looking very closely at your home installation. Also, they will expect warranty coverage on the car, which could come back to bite you later.

      Removable rigid window tint sheets - WTF?

      I created an account just to respond here. I'm not a "tinter" or whatever yall may call yourselves but I came across this product and thought that it looked pretty cool and something I could do myself. I ordered from Lazeway and spent like $150 for two packages. The product is from China although they claim all this America stuff on the website. All i received was two simple rolls of tint, nothing special. I was totally scammed and now I'm looking all over the internet for anyone talking about this product to let them know. Dont buy from them.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you

      Process

      Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape?

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money!

      Boat window tinting tips

      The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.

      Boat window tinting tips

      Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!
