Just wanted to get some ideas from everyone on what to charge for lettering an enclosed trailer. We did a 25" x34" 3 color logo with 2 extra lines underneath (city and ohone # and then web address)Also on the back door (1) 22" x 15" black logo with the same city and state and phone number plus web address. Just wanted to get an idea on what to charge for these. Yes it took us forever still being new- but it was all vinyl,we prepped it with Rapid removed the funky screws along the studs to lay it flat then put all the screws back in. Thanks everone- I read what ya'll have going on every day- I am addicted to Letterville!

My top of the head guess...assuming you used high performance cast vinyl, and guessing you used about 8 yards of 24" material....including layout, cutting, weeding, and applying.... about $600 Canadian ($440 U.S.)
Just a guess, without seeing the actual logos.

Yes, time is a big factor here. How long did it take, from start to finish?

Hi Belinda. I did an enclosed 12' trailer about 2 months back. It had a big logo on each side (with a hand-painted pinline outline) with a splash graphic in 4 colors of HP Calon II. The back had a small logo and a list of services, and the front had the guy's signature shamrock 26"x26". I charged $900, and I think it should have been a lot more. It took a day to cut and weed and mask and a day to stick & paint. I had about $200 in materials. I took off the rivets & reapplied afterwards. Yes, this guy is a client of 7 years. But I still should have charged more. Guess I was just excited to be doing hand-painting for a change (outlines only) Love...Jill

You should know by now that what others charge has no effect on what YOU should be charging. After all, what it takes for you to operate then achive a PROFIT coupled with customer statist. Is always a factor in pricing! IF you don't have "pricing guide" then purchase one. What did YOU charge the customer? Just picked a number out of the air?
hope this helps
