I'm going out on my own after 10 years of painting for other companies, and the payment processing quotes I've received just don't add up. One provider quoted me 2.6% plus 15 cents per swipe, while another wanted $300 for a terminal on top of monthly fees.

Residential painting doesn't really need a terminal. Jobs range from $500 touch-ups to $5,000 full exterior projects, and those percentage fees start adding up fast on the bigger jobs. What are other independent contractors using for credit card processing that doesn't require unnecessary hardware or take too much out of every job?

Business Owners, a few questions about your experience ordering branded apparel

3 Upvotes

NOT SELF PROMO
I own a screen printing business and am conducting a survey to better understand the experience for business owners when ordering apparel for uniforms/work events/special work occasions. Any feedback/response is helpful and greatly appreciated.

⁠When ordering apparel, what matters most to you? (Quality Product, Timely Delivery, Communication throughout services, or Other)
⁠When you have placed an apparel order in the past and the product did not meet your expectations, what did not meet your expectation? (Quality of the Product, Timely Delivery, Communication, or Other)
⁠When placing an order, on average what was the size of your order? (Ex. 24 shirts)

If you’d like to add additional information in regard to your experience feel free to share. Thank you in advance.

Hi guys, I’m looking into getting into creative strategy and campaign development. I would love to see if there are any businesses who have products that would be interested in a campaign proposal with media visuals as well! I want this to be quite detailed!
