From student to owner of a custom cellphone skins store

Sofia studies art design in the college for 2 years. This year she will leave the campus to start her own job. Since she likes painting, she decided to start her first job that related with painting. Also she likes to make small DIY artwork. It will be great if she could find a job that allows her to create some artwork with the skill of painting.

After some marketing research work, she decided to start the business of custom cellphone skins with her sister. Sofia draws hundreds of paintings for the designs of cellphone skins. Those paintings are created by software on computer, so that that electronic format of paintings will be perfect to make the cellphone skins.

Sofia doesn’t like to do franchise business, instead, she want to make her own brand for the custom cellphone skins. At last she chooses Daqin from China. Daqin is a Chinese supplier that provides the software and machines to make custom stickers for all brands and models of smartphones. The software of Daqin allows drawing cellphone templates, so that for those rare brands cellphone Sofia can draw the cellphone templates by herself.
Thankfully, Sofia is a master for CAD, CorelDraw…etc. She could even draw other template for cutting, such as the charger, mouse, headset…etc.

It’s not easy at the beginning of opening a cellphone skins store. Even though she has enough money to start this business, there are still lots of work to do. Such as design and decorate of the store, the marketing work and so on. Her store located near an entrance of a cellphone store, which is a perfect place for the cellphone skins business.

Except for the custom sticker for cellphones, Sophia also sells cellphone cases, screen protectors…etc. In this way, the traffic of customers becomes larger.

For the Daqin’s solution of making custom cellphone skins, the kit is called the Daqin 3D mobile skin designing and making system. It contains the software, printer, laminator and cutter. The software is a stand-alone version, which is installed on the Microsoft windows computer. The printer, laminator and cutter are all portable machines, which can be placed together with the computer on one table.

Thanks to Sofia’s nice painting, the cellphone skins sells well. Also, there are many customers use their own photo or design to make the custom cellphone skins. With the help of Sofia’s sister, in 3 to 5 minutes they could make custom cellphone skins for 2 sets of cellphones.

Custom cellphone cases and cellphone skins business

Are you sourcing for the cellphone accessories, while still not find the best supplier? How to make your product more competitive in the market? What’s the taste of the customers for the cellphone accessories? Those are common questions for the owner of cellphone accessories stores. According to reliable information, the customized cellphone accessories such as custom cellphone case, custom cellphone skins are the most popular products among the young people of 18 to 35 years old age group.

The custom cellphone cases refer to the cases that printed with custom patterns. The case could be a good protection as well as a nice decoration. It can protect the phone from scratching or bumping. Also, it makes the cellphone looks different with those same model cellphone. The custom cases reveal the artistic taste of different customers.

The custom cellphone skins refer to a thin layer of films with a sticky back that applies on the surface of the cellphone. The custom cellphone skins from Daqin have 8 kinds of optional laminating effects, so that the cellphone skins are more diversified than the cellphone cases. The custom cellphone skins act as a nice decoration also could be anti-scratching and anti-slip.

The Daqin provide a unique kit to produce custom cellphone skins. The kit contains the software, printer, laminator and cutter. The amazing part is that Daqin can make custom stickers for all brands and models of cellphones in the world. Also Daqin will monthly update the software to add cutting templates for those newly released cellphones.

Compare with the custom cellphone case business, the major advantage of the custom cellphone skins business is as below:

No backlog of inventory
The raw material for the custom cellphone skins are the printing design films and the laminating effect films. You could produce the custom cellphone skins once you receive order, for example, such as iPhone 6, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 or HTC M8. Any model of the cellphone uses the same raw materials, so that all the raw materials could be used effectively.

However, for the custom cellphone cases, it must require bulk stocks of cellphone cases with different models. Each blank cellphone case can only make a specific one model of cellphone case. For example, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 cases only suitable for itself, rather than any other model. LG G3 cellphone case only can integrate with LG G3 itself for the same reason. As a result, once there are backlog of inventory for some cellphone cases, it will be impossible to use those inventory to make custom cellphone cases for any other model cellphone.

 

 

 

The custom cellphone skins business story-2

Previously I shared my friend Tom’s successful business story for photography and custom cellphone skins. Today I will continually share some details of the custom cellphone skins business with you.

For those who come to make custom cellphone skins, sometimes they will bring their own designs. The Daqin 3D mobile skin designing & making system support the picture format of jpeg, jpg, bmp and png. Tom make the custom cellphone skins that contains his own logo, corresponding mobile phone number, company contact information, and the QR code which can download corresponding wallpaper. The below picture is an example for what I describe just now. (You could pay attention to the 4 corners area of this sticker.)

The staff in the store could help to stick the cellphone skins to the cellphone manually. Also the customers can take the sticker with them and then stick it by themselves later.

Except the custom design on the pattern of the cellphone skins to make it individualized, also the cellphone skins can be optionally laminated with 1 of the 8 kinds of laminating effect films to achieve different effect: glossy, matte, flash-mate, ice flower, gridding, twill, leather and 3D water drops etc.

There are also many materials out there for choice to make the custom sticker for cellphones. Such as wooden color, leather, metal brush, crocodile leather, snake skin, zebra skin, color shining, super shining, carbon fiber, golden color…and many other materials.

With the increasing customers of custom cellphone skins, Tom feels obliged to open a new store that specially do the business of custom cellphone skins. In order to save money, Tom firstly opens an online store. The customers can select their cellphone model, and then upload their custom pattern or choose a pattern from the data base. Tom and his staff will make the custom cellphone skins and then mail to the customers.

Later Tom expands his business to the laptop sticker filed, also can make custom stickers for tablet, iPad, PSP, MP3…etc. The custom sticker business brings great profit to Tom. Daqin’s solution is not only for all kinds of cellphones, but also all kinds of laptops as well. Compare with those unified cellphone skins; the customized one is more popular.

In order to make his business even better, Tom need to do the marketing work for the purpose of brings more customers. Tom is now considering hire 2 staff for another cellphone accessories store where he will start his second business including the custom stickers for cellphone, tablet and laptop.

The custom cellphone skins business story

Here I would like to share a story about the cellphone skins business with you, which may give you some inspiration for your own business.

My friend Tom owns a digital photography shop. He has 5 years-experience of managing this store. One day a customer take a phone call in his store, when he happened to see the customer’s phone was applied with a custom cellphone skin of his lover. The custom cellphone skins integrate with the smartphone so well that it looks like the original phone printed with personal photo. Tom was very interested for such gadget so he inquired the customers in details. At last he understands that the custom cellphone skin is cut from a well-printed sticker according to the corresponding smartphone template, and then manually applied on the surface of the smartphone.

Soon Tom makes a marketing research and realized that those custom cellphone skins supplier requires franchising, which means he has to invest a large amount of money for a brand that doesn’t belong to him. Since I happened to know the Daqin’s solution to make custom cellphone skins, so I introduce the Daqin 3D mobile skin designing & making system to him.

Tom was so surprised that Daqin supplies everything to make the custom sticker for any cellphone with any brand or model. The kit to make custom cellphone skins include: software, printer, laminator, cutter and materials. The most important part is that, Daqin never requires franchising, which means that Tom could use his own brand and logo to become a new custom cellphone skins supplier. Just with a small investment of 2,400 to 3,000 US dollars.

Tom started the custom cellphone business in last year. The customers, who come to the digital photography shop to let the photographer take photo of them, are very interested for the service of custom cellphone skins. They would have a try with their photo that just taken to make the cellphone skins, especially for those lovers or couples.

Tom’s business of both photography and cellphone skins are both very hot. Thanks to the Daqin 3D mobile skin designing & making system, Tom successfully expand his business and earn more money.

In Tom’s store, there are 2 staffs specially in charge of making custom cellphone skins. One is responsible for running the software; another one is responsible for the handwork such as take the materials, apply the sticker on the cellphone etc. It takes 3 to 5 minutes to finish the whole process for 2 sets of cellphones.

Tom is very satisfied with his current business, not only the photography but also the custom cellphone skins business.

IPhone 6 releasing date is preliminarily set on mid-September

Foreign Tech Media 9to5Mac says that, according to news from insider of Apple, Apple is now preparing an important product launch for the hardware, which will be the first initial conference for hardware in 2014. The leading actor in the conference will be the next generation iPhone. According to information, the preliminary date of releasing iPhone 6 is mid-September. Besides the iPhone 6, some final details of iOS8 will also be released on that conference. The official version of iOS8 will be released together with the iPhone 6.

Thanks to DAQIN, the iPhone 6 could be as colorful as the iPhone 5C. It’s the cellphone skins solution. Unlike the cellphone cases, the cellphone stickers are manually applied on the surface of the iPhone 6. The custom stickers can perfectly fit with the iPhone 6 even to integrate with the phone.
