Tampa Home Show Window Tint Styling
Now I'll be the first to admit it. . . I really don't enjoy working a home show.
First of all, I have to stand all day long and for an old geezer like me that's a major challenge.
Then there's the folks who walk by staring at our booth while trying to figure out exactly what window film does in the first place.
They wear that polite smile and that quizzical look.
Somehow they had no idea prior to that moment that there were companies that could stick a film on a window that could cut glare or heat.
You'd think I was trying to sell some ancient elixir drink from the dark ages.
I always scope the competition's booth prior to heading to my booth.
I arrive early knowing my competition generally shows up the second the show opens.
There's that old 3M Window Film booth in aisle 3.
They have stacks of thicker security films all laid out neatly with slits pre cut in the film.
To the side they have their 3M ultra film samples also pre-slit.
I know that gimmick all too well. Did it myself a few thousand times.
The trick is to hold the thicker film tightly and rip it quickly.
Then you warm up that 3M film in your hand gently pulling it so when you have the unwitting consumer rip the ultra film it appears to be much more difficult to tear.
Nice sleight of hand.
They then go on to say that 3M has unique properties that make it harder to rip and therefore all the thicker films are actually weaker.
What a crock.
When the consumer drops by my booth I am always prepared.
One deals with the ripper by responding with . . . FACTS.
Test data, objective lab reports and documented performance levels under cycling and impact testing. Somehow all that rippy rippy action didn't help them meet the same level of protection as any of the 8 ML films that we carry.
How's that for debunking!
Then there's our favorite Llumar dealer that begs for business.
Yes. . he begs for business.
"Can't feed his kids"
"Down on his luck so badly he has to live in his car"
"He'll beat anyone's prices since he does all the tinting himself and has no shop, office or seemingly an address!"
I really do enjoy this chap.
He's developed a sad face and a gloomy aspect to reinforce his begging.
All he's missing is a bowl on the floor for dollar bills and change and he seems to have misplaced his dancing monkey.
Ah the joys of the window tinting business!
Another successful day at the Tampa Home Show.
No ripping, no begging. Simply the best window film products in Tampa, straight talk and FACTS.
We won't rip you off and we never monkey around .
