    With Pirate Ship, you can set it up so the post office will pick up the package from your house -- you just leave it on your steps (or wherever your mail gets dropped) and the postal worker grabs it when they drop off your mail and send it out for you ...that way you won't even need to go to the post office anymore

If it makes you uncomfortable leaving packages outside your door, you can also go to the post office to drop off the packages you want to mail. But package pickup was designed with convenience in mind, in case you can't go to the post office. I hope I answered your question. 😊

  • @Krazy4Pink_Kerry
    @Krazy4Pink_Kerry Před rokem +52

    Great video as always val. I love watching all your videos.
    For anyone wondering how to work out the price for pricing nail tips. Here is an example- lets say you buy 500 nail tips at £14 to work it out you would do £14➗500 which works out to 28p so then let’s say you do a set of 10 nails. That would be 28p x 10 which is £2.80
    And from there you can just tailor it to however you need. Like if you do a set of 12 nails you would just do 0.28x12=£3.36
    So each set is only costing £2.80/£3.36 then if you add the cost that val worked out for the supply’s, I can’t remember how much it was now but it was only a couple of quid. Say £2.50 so each set you make is costing you £5.30 so when you are working out how much to sell your sets for personally I would also add on (at least as a bare minimum) the national minimum wage per hour for where you live. For me at the moment is £9.50p/h (from April this year it will be £10.42)
    So if the set takes you 1 hr to make. At a minimum make sure to add that because why would you charge yourself less than minimum wage for your work. Personally I would charge a bit more because these are custom nails and many of us have spent a lot of money on training an learning/honing our craft. So you need to charge for that.
    So basically let’s say at a minimum you charge £10p/h (tho I think you should charge a bit more at least) then £5.30 for tips and supplies etc so no set should be charged less than £15.30 but then there is cost of gels and anything else you need to think of as well (which if I added that to this comment 1 this comment would be even longer than it already is lol an 2 I’d have probably bored you all to death lol) so let’s just add a couple quid on for that as well so let’s say each set you make you should be charging AT LEAST £18 (or $/€ etc) but you want to be making a little profit as well otherwise what is the point in doing this. So add a little on top for profit as well. Which I think depend on the set. When it’s just simple easy sets I’d say only add a few quid. Then scale up the more complex the sets get. So to finally finish this long comment lol. Personally I would say the lowest price set you should be offering is nothing less than £20/22 (but remember, that figure is based on the prices that I have stated in this comment. You would need to tailor it to the prices of your products. Am sell your sets for nothing lower than that figure. As this is just working out how much the lowest price set should be.)
    I hope this helps at least one person anyway. And I hope I haven’t just bored you to death lol.
    And I also hope I explained it well enough for you to understand.
    Anyways, I’m here to help, if I can, if anyone needs any help.
    As we should all be helping each other if we can. Xx

  • @ThaWeekndGurl.91
    @ThaWeekndGurl.91 Před rokem +29

    Hey Val, quick fyi… Amazon breaks the price by each for you. For instance the tape would be .23 cents per foot used. It’s in red parenthesis by the price 😉

  • @user-ie6hr4hp2r
    @user-ie6hr4hp2r Před 5 měsíci +2

    To calculate the tape you’d need to decide how many inches you use… for your 50 ft roll at 10 bucks, that equates to 10 divided by 50= .20 cents per foot. A foot equals 12 inches so divide 20 cents by 12 = .016 round up to 2 cents per inch. If you use 6 inches of tape you’d get 100 pieces per roll which equals 12 cents.

For the next video(s) in this series, I'd love to see websites you recommend to sell items on (etsy, shopify, wix, etc), how you print labels for orders (regular printer, specialized label printer), if you take orders to a local usps or have them picked up from your home to ship, AND how you get clients sizes for press on nails (selling sizing kits, providing size charts in each listing, asking for pics, etc).THANK YOU again for helping make so many peoples dreams turn into realities!

    Thank you for all the info! I'd love to hear more about sizing since that confuses me a lot since different tips, even if they have the same number are different sizes. I'd also live to know what you'd consider the best supplies to start out with, gels, gems, charms, brushes. Maybe set a budget and pick what you'd buy with it if you were starting out?

    • @dontaebastion6595
      @dontaebastion6595 Před rokem +5

      Something i saw that seemed more accurate no matter what tips you're using was having the customer take a pic of their hand next to a coin (dime, quarter or whatever) and then place that same coin on the screen of your phone. Zoom in so the coin in the pic and the coin you set on your screen is the exact same size. Then you can literally place the nails on your customers fingers with just the picture to go by. Hopefully that made sense. If not search press on sizing with coin on Instagram. That's where I saw this method.

    Hi Val! 💕This is honestly like shopping with a friend today! A helpful hint when shopping on Amazon… did you know you can avoid math by looking at the info next to the price of each listing? This is what it looks like: $9.99 ($.10/Count) means whatever your buying will cost .10¢ per item. I try to find this on shelf labels at the grocery store too! It really helps when choosing the smaller or larger item on the shelf. Thank u so much for your openness to teach us what you do! 😘💕💕🥰

I also wanted to say, I wouldn't consider you extra but someone who seems very detail oriented and I can relate and appreciate that. The best companies are those that go what some would consider the "extra mile", like you adding buffers and cuticle pushers in your application kit. It's stuff like that, that will separate you from the competition and create customer loyalty!!

    Great job Val! I’d love to see the video on the sizing kits and method. You might consider doing a video on marketing essentials like business cards, logo stickers for the boxes, you little extras for the organza bags, cost of any advertising you do as well. Another good video would be costing your starter materials like base coat, top coat, lamp, good set of starter colors, whether to invest in colored rhinestones or sticking with clear and AB, whether stickers and all the other extra razzle dazzle is necessary to start and how to continue investing to grow your working materials like polishes, glitters, etc. without using up all your profits at the beginning. There are basics that are must haves and others that can be invested in down the line.

    Sizing video is highly requested. I choose to do 24 piece sets but what I have trouble with are which nails should be accent nails. I use apres if that matters. Also I just signed up to be a vendor at my local farmer’s market to sell my press ons! I’ve only seen one other person do this, so I’m gonna try and make a video of my own. But I’m still trying to figure out what it’s gonna look like, and then it’s hard to figure out what designs people would like the most.

    Thank you for breaking things down and going through the process. This is the not so fun back office that is necessary for business. I do have a question...I know you stated your shipping is free do you ever insure the nail sets to make sure they can file a claim if they don't receive a set or it is lost in transit? Or does this even happen to you? I would love for episode 3 to be on sizing because it is definitely important to the business or how to handle client issues with shipping or orders or setting up policies and procedures. Either way, I think these are great topics to cover at some point.

  • @GlitterGangNailz

    This was literally so perfect. I am going to create an excel sheet with this formula. THANK YOU!! Oan....OMG please do sizing!!!!!!!!! This is the ONLY thing holding me back because there are so many brands with difference sizes. None of them match the "standard" sizing chart. I am super concerned I'll make a Made to Order Set according to the standard sizing and it will be totally off because of my tips and I really don't want to do 14+ pieces every time. All the tip brands have different MM for their numbers which is so confusing. I even measured my nails with tape and all but ONE nail was off. So I compared the finger's MM w/standard size and 1 out of 4 brands matched. ONE! I have been stressed ok! Yes, HELP pretty please Lol

    I have them in pink but they have a handle and say you’ve got style. But I sell Jewelry and I didn’t know her then or that it was so much harder than I expected. But my bags I got a huge roll 25ft of bubble wrap with preference right in lines so then I put that in first but before I put it in, I filled the bag I’m still looking for something that is not like confetti to put on the inside to make it look gorgeous, but easier said than done

    I’m getting ready to start my press on mail business. The business part is the most challenging, I started my nail career in the early nineties, I started working from home , then went to salons. As the industry changed it became competitive and I got out. I’ve retired and a press on nail business is perfect for me, I have always kept my nails done and kept up with new art and products , but I just worked on myself. I’m ready to put my skill and creativity to work. I’m so glad I found your videos, your nails are absolutely, gorgeous . I appreciate your willingness to help others, that inspires me. This video on calculating your cost was ver helpful. I will be making my list. Can you do a video on how to make a video of the nails and what you need to do that and what that will cost . Also how to get my nails on the best social media platforms. Thanks and keep doing what you do you are great,and I appreciate you. Looking for your next video

Some girls have short nail beds and some long which makes it hard to know how far down to file.. that’s something I personally struggle with. When someone says they want short nails or medium length. I hope that makes sense but that would be so helpful!! Thanks for all the great info! 🤍
