Been few weeks since I posted this topic. Just to reiterate. Reminder cards are a must. Absolutely incredible how many calls I've had. For example did a job yesterday from a reminder card. Then a neighbour opposite came over and asked for a quote. Did the job there and then. Going back on Monday to do 2 other houses in the same street who saw me there yesterday. Its dead right, no matter how good a job you do and how well you get on with a customer they will still forget your name, let alone where they put your business card. By the way Trade Print Warehouse do some cracking reminder cards with a funny cartoon on the front and your company logo. They quoted me 2000 cards for £100. Might take them up on that when my current lot run out.

Hi chris,

Just looked on trade-print-warehouse.co.uk and can't find reminder cards.  Where do I look?

Hi Dave
    Your right they are not on web site. I received some leaflet examples from them and they also sent me examples of various things eg business cards and reminder cards.

Chris if you are talking about the 'woman and 2 small children postcard'the copyright for this postcard belongs to me!  Tradeprint are sopposed to pay me a royalty everytime they use it.

I have no record of it being licenced for your use

IF YOU CONTINUE TO USE IT I WILL TAKE LEGAL ACTION.

please send me a P/M with your address so I can send you an invoice.

Mike

Ps only joking I won't really take legal action   but the next time you talk to Hamad or Mark remind them whose picture they are using

Hey Mike, its really your design that reminder card? Well I'm sure they said they'd insert my company details on YOUR CARD!!!!!!!!!

These are a must !

Work every time.

Better than YP or Thompsons.

Put your new services on them, remind them how good their carpets or upholstery will look or feel etc when cleanened.

2 months b4 Christmas and in spring, not like me, middle of summer cause Im too busey.

These will create many call backs and referals....guaranteed

Chris, I had a proffesional cartoon artist draw that cartoon, its actual name is 'little angels' I had some reminder cards printed by Trade Print and they said if I allowed them to use it they would give me a £10 everytime they used it.

but the little tinkers try and tell me they never use it : but I have lunch with them once or twice a week and its amazing how many times I see it on the presses.

I should have shares In Tradeprint, half of the leaflets they print have  either my pictures or statements taken off my marketing material.

You should do Mike, When I phoned them last year they said they do not need anymore work.

I hope you are getting commission if you have not got shares

[Mike Halliday]

Ian, they had a lot of problems last year because they got snowed under with work, they have now invested in 3 new machines that can produce 40,000 full colour leaflets an hour .

If I get fed up with printing them myself on the copy printer I will contact them again.

I do get fed up with the jam ups but its probably the cheap paper I use.

[Ian Gourlay]

Ian produce 5000 in  two hours therefore just worked out its costing me £65 for 5k if I had a cleaning job.

However I can produce and admend copy at the drop of a hat

Hi Guys ,

I use a local printer  and in the last year I would estimate £400-£500 of work from them and their families(Jewish, good refferals).

Also nice people so a pleasure and no hassle if too busy to pick up for a couple of days.

Keep your money in your community , you never know it might come back to you!

Cheers,

Doug
