If like me you have a hard time spelling try this...

problem solved, unless you want the problem to elicit sympathy, which is often the case, but I'm sure not in this instance.

back to the original question, a couple of points; to say Dave liona is successful and doesn't have a sign-written van is as valid an argument as my mate who is successful and drinks his own urine, they are successful not because of this but as well as this.

a van is a reinforcement of all your other advertising. as has already been said people see the van and make a mental note of it so when they are looking through the phone book they remember your name.

I saw you van at hydramaster susan and it was impressive like lots of other sign written vans.
Cant believe why any serious carpet cleaner wouldnt have his van sigh written if i saw a van with no writing on it i would prob think it was another Pikey or jack of all trades.

OK Susan, that is absolutely top class and light years away from the " average "lettered van. With that van you are NOT First Clean, You are in a different market and should market to the new market with this new image

That doesn't mean you should abandon the past twenty years efforts though, but I'd treat them as separate entities, at least for a couple of years

That is one heck of a van signage Susan.

If the carpets look as good as the van when they have been cleaned - you should be on top £'s for the work.

The vans look great but the VW Polo( if that's what it is) takes some beating for a colour scheme  ;D

Wow, you definatly want to put prices up, thats a massive investment. Dont take that as critisism, I just think your undervaluing your service.

Very nice, now this sign writting has got to bring in some work? Did not know you went eco.

OK this may seem a silly question, but if you had got a white van would you still have had to have the whole thing covered? I'm just thinking it would have been cheaper. :-\

it would nt  of been any cheaper i ordered a top spec van , with all the extras some came free with the spec of the titaum model

i looked in to getting a plain white van then adding everything i wanted but it would of cost 1700 pounds more then i paid for it as it stands   

did the same with the transit just went and got the glx modle and added bits fron the op. list

the transit  looks the same as the ldv but its a 58 reg

Looks great , my mate up there mentioned that the same van not so long ago , " seen a cc van , must be a national company cause it was pro kitted out "

Cant see why your not pulling in the very high end of clients ???
If it was one of mine I would have a leaflet boy/girl posting every where the van was workking
( its working big time for me  ;)) Just need to get the canvas time ready for next APRIL !

Im back up there visiting family in jan , would you let me have a closer look or would I have to book you for a carpet clean  ;D
