Part vehicle wrap pricing. What would you charge?
Hi All,
I like to think that I’m 90% of the time a mid range priced business, if a customer has had previous quotes (on artwork they’ve sketched themselves) we will often ask when we’re doing the work what the prices were, we’ll find we’re usually mid range but they like the service and the little touches etc..
So, got asked to tender for a reasonably large company in december, about 18 vehicles and loads of plant, they’re rebranding.. the tender was based on one vehicle price – a mwb 17 plate sprinter. To be honest I knew it was a free for all, I didn’t much like the fact that ‘semi wrap’ was specified, the fact it appeared that they were looking for stuff to be done at their site (dirty), I also had an inkling that due to the specs they were hawking, and I decided not to get into a bidding war.
Yesterday I got a call personally from them and they said that I’d been highly recommended by the original owner (now run by a management team) and could I please tender. I rushed a quick quote through – based upon their drawing supplied and using proper wrap film, not semi-wrap, I explained my differences, reasons for choices of materials, and that I would probably alter the layout as well as preferring anything that was possible to be done here, was.
I get a call this morning to say thanks, but I’m well over the prices quoted, by some £600, I am genuinely shocked :yikes: !!!!!
Here’s the materials required..
10m digital wrap, (Arlon DXP or SLX in my case) – small bits of print could fill that empty spaces on this)
8m 610 10yr hexis suptac (as the vehicles will no dout be jetwashed within an inch..)
full prismatic chapter 8 rear kit,
prismatic 55mm yellow side stripe.I estimated 6hrs labour to do the job, though with door handles to be removed etc. I suspect possibly longer on my own?
Based on the above materials etc., could any of you spare 5mins you give me an idea of what you would be charging for something like this? I rarely check my prices against others but this has shocked me. Personally I suspect it’s done as a lost leader to get a foot in the door but I may be wrong. I’ll post my price later so as not to influence any that are kind enough to be given.
Thanks in advance.
