For our customers overseas, we do have a broker to get the studio overseas or to Canada, so there is no need to get one. In many cases (New Zealand, Australia, Canada) you have your own broker. We’ll give them all the details needed to ship a 360Booth® so he can get it to your store as quickly as possible
Common question. For me, using my credit card so I can get my points, so do you take credit cards?
For 360Booth®, hell no, we don’t take credit cards. I’m not going to spend two, three, four percent of profit–profit is good–on a credit card, regardless of the points. I’m a huge credit card point guy, but we do not take credit cards. We can wire it, and we will accept cash or a check.
What’s the lead time to install a 360Booth®? When you contact us initially, we’ll tell you four to six weeks, but honestly, 70% of our business is new construction, often with delays, usually at the last minute, of course.
So, it really depends. Once I visit and determine that you have a clean and ready-to-go space, boy, that can happen quick. We install on a Monday, so if it’s a Thursday-Friday, probably the soonest would be a Monday.
It’s super simple. Give us a shot.
So, how do you get started ordering a 360Booth®? The best is to visit 360Booth®.com and click on More Information. That way, I can get you everything to help you see examples, the pricing, and understand what’s going on.
Secondly, I’ll visit your store and answer all of your questions. More importantly, I’ll measure your space to see if it fits. After that process, which happens very quickly, we will ask for a 50% deposit. Then we will ship your booth and install it. It takes three days. The warranty is five years.
So, how do you order a studio? Contact us. Use smoke signals, text, email, voice. Tell ‘em you want a 360Booth®. I’ll come running. We’ll ask for 50%, and, in the right way to do business,. after it’s installed; after you’re happy; after you’re trained, we will request the remaining 50%. It’s super easy.
In my opinion, branding is a huge benefit using the 360Booth®. There is nothing better than a clear, correctly-colored car in a white, beautiful background with your dealership logo.
Now, the question is, “Can I have multiple logos?” Absolutely. If you have a great tagline and your corporate brand or identity. Absolutely.
Where I wouldn’t do it, because the factories won’t, is a Ford, a Chevy–logos like that if you’re a franchise store. They won’t do that. What I would do then is recommend talking to us about images on the server side and placing them there so they are individually tagged properly.
If you’re an independent, absolutely. It would look really cool to have multiple logos.
Why should you brand your studio? Well, why wouldn’t you? I am dumbfounded when I get in front of principals, and they go, “I don’t like the reflection, and it looks too busy.” Say that again? You don’t like that your logo, that is pronounced in your photos, is drawing attention to your brand?
So, to answer your question, should I use branding? Absolutely.
There are a couple of cases where I would really not do it, where we will do it on the image side automatically. Like here at 360Booth®, we do a lot of stuff in here, so we leave the logos off.
If you have multiple franchises, we will leave the logos off, and on the back screen, with our software, we will edit banners in so it will look sharp.
To answer your question, there is huge value in branding your store. If you don’t like branding your logos or branding your pictures, take the sign down in front of your store.
We can build any size 360Booth®, but we did three sizes–the 24; the slightly larger 26 with two extra lights; a 28. Yes, we build custom studios–30-footers, 35-footers. But! 26 or 28 is all you need.
The size of the booth typically depends on whether you have the space for it. My visit will determine that.
To answer your question, can we customize the booth? Yes. In fact, many parking garages have our booth, and we had to cut it about a foot, to even two feet, and the best news for that is that at this moment, we’re not charging for that.
I have spaces that were already at 24 feet, and our 24-foot wouldn’t fit in there, so we shrunk it six inches so it would fit. So, we have built 23-foot studios. Remember one thing. I’m going to visit your spot and precisely measure, and if it takes customization, I won’t charge you.
Discounts. On day1, I priced this product firm with no negotiating for market share. That strategy has paid off. I have 800 dealers who believe solely that I’m not going to whore this product out, and we are not. There are no NADA specials. There is none of that nonsense. That brings integrity to the pricing, integrity to the product, and integrity from us.
What I will do, though, is everything I can to shave off every amount of dollar I can, but the only way I can do that is to visit your space. Once I visit your space, I’m able to determine how much time it’s going to take to level your floor. At that point, I can save you some money. It’s not going to set the world on fire, but everybody feels like they have to win. I get it. My dealers are winning. They’re selling 20, 25, 30 percent more cars.
Let’s focus on the product. Let’s see if you’ve got what it takes to go to the next level. I can make sure you get there.
Is installation included in the price of the studio? Absolutely. We wanted nothing but a perfect install with our employees, with our insurance, with many umbrellas for all the coverages needed.
We send them from Tampa, FL. They’re at your store for three days. They are the most amazing individuals possible.
So yes, installation is included in the price. There is no “I gotchas!”
So your question is, “Can I have my sign guy do this for the logos on the wall?”
Absolutely. It’s not a profit center for us, but what we wanted to do is add some value to our studio and do it right the first time.
There are a lot of things going on here. Is it sized properly? Is it too short? Is it too tall? How big? How tall? It’s important. Then, we cut out all non-essential vinyl. It’s not a bumper sticker. We don’t want it to look like a bumper sticker. We use 3M film, and then we put a layer of non-reflective film over it.
Let me show you a closeup of one of our logos here at the studio, what it looks like.
So here’s our logo at the studio on the side. When I get closer, you can see that we’ve cut out all non-essential vinyl in the logo itself, and then we put a non-reflective layer so you don’t see a giant bumper sticker.
There’s a lot that goes into this. Let us show you how.
