Here's my new stencil for demos that my friend made. If anyone is interested, he wants the business.

We live in Tucson, AZ, but he will ship them too. Pricing ranges from around $100-$200, plus shipping. Good thing is, he can do your logo, custom edges (like the water splatter on mine), etc.

His link is below if you want to contact him directly. My stencil is 1/4" steel, about 16" X 48". Check out the handle for carrying ease built in to the splatter design on the top.:grin-square: We still have to paint it to protect the metal...

That's cool Mike. I like that design much better than the standard rectangle cutout stencils. I may be contacting your friend for another stencil, since we've been doing 40+ demo's a week recently.

I would suggest to prime the metal, of course after a thorough cleaning, then get it powder coated. Mine has withstood 100's of demo's, drops, etc.

Thanks Jim, I'll check into powder coating it.

A little off topic, but what approach do you use when setting up and doing demos? Do you call to set them up? Once you go in and ask for the demo, give them your info, etc., what's next?
I lay the template down, go over it, remove it and bring them out, then clean it off along with a 10X10 area. Just wondering if anyone has a different approach??

Hows the Demos going Jim, you get people to sign on the dotted line?

I stopped counting at 135, stencils are the most amazing tool. Its crazy more guys are not doing them.
 
I haven't looked into powder coating the stencil yet, but have any of you had them painted? I was wondering if a Rustolium would work. I am guessing the paint would start to fail with the high pressure of the surface cleaner.
 
I think that if a company could make them out of aluminum or stainless steel then you would never have to worry about the stencils rusting.

Do you know if they can make the stencils out of aluminum or stainless steel?

Power coated is the best option for steel. Stainless steel would be the best choice. Aluminum, unless very thick gauge, would be too light and might move while doing your stencil.

Feel free to give me a call. Only time I don't answer the phone is if I'm working, showering, eating or sleeping.

I occasionally come down to Tucson, don't have a trip planned for several weeks. Maybe I'll give you and Tom a call next time I'm heading south.
 
I would love to have a month like that.....Nice Job......

You may have answered this in the past, but do you receive permission for all of the demos or do you do them and go back and talk to them later?

Thanks for your input

Not sure if your question is/was directed at me or Ron. More times than not, I do the demonstration with prior knowledge and approval of the individual PM or company. I've been known to do a few and film it, just to use as a selling tool. Have yet to receive a negative response.

I've always realized in business action speaks volumes over words. My companies work speaks for itself. 100% satisfaction guaranteed, and I have never has a dissatisfied customer. That being said, I'm sure it's just a matter of time until I encounter somebody that wanted something for nothing. I'll just mark that up to experience, just like I have to 100's of estimates I've done, realizing afterwords I only wasted my time.

Demonstrations are key to landing new contracts. The best ones I have done is days or weeks after their current "contractor" claimed they performed their services.
