Return on Investment

What is it worth:

ROI Period

  1. ..to have a potential customer see your seam samples or your work in a friends house and say they must have you do their job?

Winning one large job, or two small ones based on the seam quality should pay for the purchase.

  1. ..to be able to hold your price point above your competitors based on your quality of work being superior?

Holding your normal profit margin vs. dropping it to meet the price of the hacks down the street, payback should be within the first three to six projects.

  1. ..to have the ability to market an add-on charge of $150 per Seam for the “Premium Seam” vs. the “Industry Standard Seam”?

Assuming two Seams per project, payback would be within the first 10 projects.

  1. ..To not have to custom mix colors of seaming adhesive to match the stone? This will reduce the amount of adhesive colors needed in stock and/or reduce the time spent custom mixing colors.

Depends on methods currently used.

  1. ..to be able to touch up an edge or a seam at the installation site vs. taking the piece back to the shop?

Depends on how often it happens, distance travelled, etc.

  1. ..to not get the call from a customer because they are unhappy with the looks of their seam?

Depends on rate of callbacks, distance travelled, etc.

  1. ..to not have to deal with callbacks for popped seams? The Seam Phantom creates a rough back grind that will give an excellent surface for adhesive to bond to.

Depends on rate of callbacks, distance travelled, etc.

  1. ..to have a customer call back because they can’t find the seams and then tell their friends how amazed they are with your company?

Priceless. This will give your company a reputation that will move you to the top in your market.

  1. ..to have the Seam Phantom create such a superior seam that extra efforts to beautify the seam such as top polishing can typically be avoided?

Depends on market, labor rate, and skill level.

  1. ..to have the reputation for having the best seams in the area. And your competitors are not about to produce them because they don’t want to spend the money to buy a Seam Phantom?

Priceless. This will give your company a reputation that will move you to the top in your market.

 

Put your own numbers to the above suggestions, and then you decide what the payback period is. The first kitchen where your get the job over your competitor? Or over a period of a couple of months of selling the “Premium Seam” add on?

 

Conclusion:

Payback can be as quick as the first project that is won based on the potential Seam Quality, or take as long as 4 months. You decide. If you are a high volume / institutional quality type of shop, the Seam Phantom may not be for you.
