Slow month, busy month

What does FloorIt earn from you in a slow month, and in a busy one?

Last updated · FloorIt

In a month with no jobs, FloorIt earns nothing from you, because there's no monthly fee and no royalty. In a busy month, we earn on the finish you reorder from us, and leads come bundled in with it. Here are four example months, so you can see how our income moves with yours. Every number is an example, not a promise.

Four example months

Example monthWhat you buy from FloorItPaid to FloorIt
No jobsNothing$0
4 jobs, another finishNothing$0
4 jobs, our finishAbout 7 gallons of finish, with leads bundled inAbout $950
8 jobs, our finishAbout 15 gallons of finish, with leads bundled inAbout $1,900

Examples, not promises. About 1.8 gallons a 1,000 sq ft job, from our job math. Ask us for the current price. Leads come bundled in with finish reorders, with no fee per lead.

Why the slow month matters most

Every business has slow weeks. The cost that hurts most is the one that is due anyway. With FloorIt, nothing is due in a month with no jobs. With a royalty that has a monthly minimum, or a monthly ad minimum, the bill comes whether you worked or not.

When the slow stretches come

Can a busy month cost more than a royalty?

Yes, it can. On 4 jobs at $2,500, a 6% royalty would be $600. Our finish for those 4 jobs is about $950.

The difference is what you get. Finish goes on the floor, and you would buy finish from someone anyway. Leads come bundled in with it. A royalty buys neither. It comes on top of your finish and your ads. And you can stop buying finish from us at any time.

How FloorIt compares with an agency

How to pay us less, on purpose

  • Buy another finish if it fits your jobs better
  • Run your own ads with the library and training you keep

Bundled leads come with our finish. If you switch finish, plan on running your own marketing.

We would rather you keep buying from us because it works for you, not because you have to.
