FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can we take orders before buying the reflective markers?
Yes. We realize that the initial outlay may prevent some groups from initiating this project, but please be aware that it is much easier to sell the signs if you have some on hand to show your residents. People buy when they can see and feel the signs. Also, with 30 day terms to pay the bill it is to your benefit to order package #1 to get you started NOW.
 

Is there a minimum number of markers that we must buy?
No. We prefer that you order a minimum of 25 markers, but we’ll accept any order for you to get started. On the flip side, we don’t want you to order too many signs at once. We would rather you order a smaller amount monthly, which helps us gauge our production needs.

Do we have to pay for the markers before we order them?
No. We will bill your organization. Our terms are Net 30, with a 1.5% finance charge applied on invoices after 30 days. We understand that your group may pay their bills at certain times of the month, i.e. after monthly meetings, so please inform us of your circumstances when ordering. Individuals without an organizational affiliation must pay for signs with a credit card or prepay with money order.
We do accept all major credit cards.

 How much should we charge for the signs?
Ask yourself, is it more important to get the markers up, or to make some money? We can tell you that most of our clients sell the signs from $8 to $25. We recommend selling the markers for $15. You will sell a lot more signs at $15 than you will at $20-$25.

How many signs can we expect to sell?
That’s a very difficult question to answer, and the answer really depends on your efforts. We have some organizations that have sold thousands of markers, while others have sold only a few. We know that the first 100 markers are the most difficult to sell. Once your community has 100 signs up, word of mouth will provide a big boost. Neighbors ask where they can get the markers. Let the people know that you have the markers! Let them know why they need the markers!
 

Are the numbers hard to apply to the marker?
Not at all. The numbers are peel and stick numbers, and we will supply you templates for aligning the numbers.

How many numbers should we order?
Most addresses have 4 digits, so for each address you’ll use 8 numbers. Based on experience, a good rule of thumb is that you’ll use a complete set of numbers for every 25-35 signs. On initial orders you should probably order a complete set of numbers for every 25 signs. Ex. You order 50 signs. You should order 2 packages of each number 0-9. However, if most of your addresses are 5 digits and start with 1 or 2, you’ll need to order extra 1s or 2s.
 

How soon will our markers be shipped after ordering?
Normally, we expect to ship your order via UPS that same day. Occasionally, we run into material supply shortages, but even in those cases, orders are shipped in 2 to 3 days.
