2. Use pins/tacks to attach a top corner to a wall, unravel to desired width and pin/tack the far top-corner
3. Use a sharp blade to trim, then tack bottom corners
4. Tile surfaces and repeat for wider coverage
5. Use white-board pens and eraser as normal
Bingo!
I know what you're saying, but I've been here before. Few years back. Company sold customized silicone products (ipod slips, bracelets, keychains, etc). The owner wanted it setup with a small form (like that one) before you saw pricing.
His argument was that people that clicked on pricing but wouldn't fill a small form wouldn't have bought anyway.
I argued against it. I was young. It was 2004 or so, so I had been developing software professionally for 2 years.
He agreed to an experiment. I devised my own little Google Website Optimizer. We showed three things: 1) Status Quo 2) a "No Thanks" button beside the "Submit" button and 3) Skipped form entirely.
Long short, he was right. Removing the form didn't increase sales over 3 months, not at all. And it arguably hurt things because we had less sales data about prospects.
But if this thing works, it is exactly what I'v been looking for over the last years.
IdeaPaint got me hoping. Their idea: Paint your wall with whiteboard color. The Problem is: You can't enter the room with the painted wall for a couple of days until its dry. Some students foundet the company, because during their time on campus they felt whiteboards were rediculous expensive. So they dropped this product on the market, for the exact same amount of money per whiteboard-m²... but its so easy! Ah I forgot, you have to paint your wall...
Weird. I filled it out using the same single character for every field and it worked fine. They apparently do zero validation of input.
Anyways, this may be handy:
