Be nice

[lands]

How much did you have to pay Jimmy five belly's to use his picture?

Seriously though, I like it. Not in my taste necessarily but it is very eyecatching without looking corny which is a difficult style to achieve.

[Mike Halliday]

Steve, I think you spoil it.

 it has a nice theme then it looks like you've just plonked yourself next to it, you need to dress the part, perhaps with a pointy hat and cloak.

also you need to be looking directly at the camera ( and smiling) so it looks like you are looking out from the van.

Mike

[will_turton]

  steve i like it, just dont put yer self on it, you'll be giving kids nightmares, i'd have the wizard with a cleaning wand. a bit like my van, oh i thought you lost weight

 billy

that was before 2 holidays and lots of beer

[Shaun_Ashmore]

put this picture on your mantel and you'll keep the kids away from the fire

As Mike says you need to be a bit more done up and looking at the camera as if to say hello.

Shaun

PS Mike you've started something now

[Mike Halliday]

also

if I saw that as I was walking past and wanted a carpet cleaner I would look in the Y/Ps for ( or search on the internet) 'carpet cleaning wizard'

you need to bring your name into the design more.

how about  having a carpet wand in one hand and a magic wand in the other

Mike

ps although I'm saying all this I do like the idea, and like as already been said, it will be very noticeable

[stevegunn]

Mike

The pic was taken whilst I was cleaning not very photo genic

[Paul_Ashworth]

Looks quite eye catching, but i would definately change the Pic

[Mike Halliday]

If you are going to put your picture on your van remember you are not trying to do a photo-shoot for playgirl,

 nobody cares that you are a fat, ugly git

all they care about is 'would I trust that man to come into my home'

look professional & smile, that all it takes.

Mike

[stevegunn]

need to use your pic then fatty six fingers

[vangaurd]

tried , the number on the back of the van could not get through!

[David_Annable]

Hi

Something like ring Steve Gunn the Carpet cleaning Wizard on 0099 ---- , would tie it in more.

Dave

[stevegunn]

or should i put a pic of the prowler on instead of a pic of myself

[lands]

I doubt the prowler will meqn much to anyone. I agree with Mike. A nice friendly smile looking at the camera with your wand in your hands whilst you stoke it up and down the carpet making it damp.

[garyfindlay]

DON`T MENTION VANISH !!!!!I think all the van would look better as a cartoon, with no real picture, but looks catchy.

[lands]

Don't know why but from your posts and the few emails you have sent I would have pictured you as a moody ante hero type, maybe something along the lines of Dirk Gently from the Hitchhiker Galaxy series from Douglas Adams.

Why don't you put a picture of Keano nutting Shearer on your van. Will get one half of the North East loving you and put a smile on your face every time you get into your van in the morning

[John Kelly]

Aye, but he'd get lynched in the other half!

[Nathanael Jones]

No matter what the lads may think of your photo,.. having a picture of yourself in ANY of your advertising will increase the number of calls you get. People like to know what the guy on the other end of the phone line looks like.

[carpetworx]

Looks good steve,
What about tile and grout cleaning?

[Joe H]

Steve

Have you settled for a new van as well?

[Susan Dean (1stclean)]

steve i like it but agree you need a bit better pic of yourself on there , and defo make the wiszard smaller , and your name bigger or even remove the wiszard lettering and just leave him

maybe a pic of a minging carpet then some starts (like hes casting a spell) and a pic of the same carpet clean ? just all idears buddy

[stevegunn]

Steve

Have you settled for a new van as well?

No keeping the van just getting it wrapped instead

[PaulKing]

not going to mis you now are we!!!
nice design and bright without being dayglo, is it very expensive?

[stuart_clark]

What type of van is it Steve?

[stevegunn]

not expensive £615+vat
http://www.ascension-signs.co.uk/

its a relay

[Aquakleen Restoration Services]

Very nice looking van in my humble opinion!

[melanie rowe]

from a female point of view i just lerv bold men with bellies, and as for the man boobs, us girls just luv'm

[John Kelly]

Whatever you do Steve, get the 'G' logo moved closer to the rest of your name.  If I didn't know it already, I'd think it was "unns Cleaning Services". 
Cheers
Lynn

[Adam Young]

  Hi Stevie,

love the lettering but are you really trying to take a p or take THE p out of our expertice...................P.s have got a free bottle of PP neutrlizer when you're finished!!!

I know your a top bloke, Only taking the p,

P.s Is your wand only 50 psi (pumps )

Seriously, the van looks cool put yer babe with the bikini on it though. ................................That,ll get ye work man

[Len Gribble]

Steve

Where have I seen that design before?

Len

[CARPET KNIGHTS]

len i thought the same thing, Saw a vito like that not too long ago!

[CARPET KNIGHTS]

Steve has Len bought you out? Its just that not only do you have the same van design but just saw your ad on ebay (I see you have had a change of heart their as i remember you telling me it would just make you look cheap and unprofessional to ad on ebay) and am sure that the pub carpet in the photo is one of lens!

Cheers Goron

[stevegunn]

No Len ok'd me to use his pics.Well I get the same results if not bettter When did I say that??

£1.24 For a months advertising on ebay its got to be worth a go

[CARPET KNIGHTS]

Must be about 2 years ago now!

[stevegunn]

times change

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Steve just had a thought why don't you put your head on the wizards body?

Shaun

[stevegunn]

because its too big

Final proof has been done getting it done week after next, thanks for everyone's input and no I'm not putting final proof up so you lot can take  the p1$$

[*paul_moss]

Does anybody really get any work from this type of advertising?.

Steve times must be hard 

[*paul_moss]

I mean Ebay, not the van.

[Mike Halliday]

Steve did you take any notice of of the things that have been said or are you keeping it the same as your first post?

Mike

[Doug Holloway]

Steve

I would make Carpet more prominent and get rid of Soft Furnishings, how many people say 'I must get my soft furnishings cleaned'.

As for the picture its certainly memorable,  but if you wanted to sell only Minty would be in the running.

Cheers

Doug

[stevegunn]

Steve did you take any notice of of the things that have been said or are you keeping it the same as your first post?

Mike

Yes I did take notice of a lot of things that were said photo changed,company name bigger and a few of the other things too

[Fresh Clean]

steve, i think your graphics are very eye catching!! just one question? did you use to be the lead singer of the angelic upstarts, you don't arf look like him. regards freshi "i'm an upstart oi,oi"

[lands]

Fresh, not many will have heard of the them even Steve "the Orcale" Gunn.

[stevegunn]

I have heard of them my mate was in a band who played their music if you can call it music

[John Kelly]

Aye, the Angelics were Makems as well.

[stevegunn]

He was a member of the cockney rejects he is the one on the end in the grey

[lands]

Were they subjected to Mustard Gas as children?

[Fresh Clean]

mickey geggus & the rejects were a flipping great band, even though they were west ham, but i won't hold that against them, is your reject mate waring flares & slippers? freshi "i'm forever blowing bubbles"  

[lands]

Guess what Freshi, doing a job on Weds which has a pollen stain from Lillies. What part of the 83 step amtech method actually worked when you did yours the other day.

Pete

[Fresh Clean]

the custy 1st had a go at it with vanish & spread it roughly covering about 3ft by 3ft squ, used super solve 1st, got alot of color transfer from this, rinsed out with water after every application, 2nd pop-out, 3rd bw stain away, cfr enz out, then zap-it to finish it off & to take out any excess foaming, then rinsed through using cfr pro-spotter, water only. used about 6 terry towels. after every application of the products mentioned, these were rinsed out. regards freshi "last night another soldier"   

[Fresh Clean]

looking back on the pollen stain, i think that just supersolve & zap-it would have been enough. freshi

[stevegunn]

Been to collect my van after having the sign writing done very happy ith the result.Obviously with it being dark now cannot post pic but this was the proof it was based on some mistakes on the proof  I know.

[lands]

I think you have well and truly cracked it there Steve and the smiley face your wearing is the biggest difference in my book. You look friendly, approachable and like you enjoy your work.

Pete

[Susan Dean (1stclean)]

got to say its a lot better and make you look topper well done cant wait to see the pics

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I thought it was Rab C. Nesbit 

Looks well Steve, should turn a few heads and get them asking for cards, are you going to have your business card done the same?

Shaun

[lands]

Hoping to have them done the same in a couple of weeks

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Pete on which page does the link doesn't work?

Shaun

[lands]

On your contact page where it says or email "shaun" when I clicked in it just went to "page cannot be displayed. My end is working fine elsewhere so I thought you might want to check it out. Get someone else (other than you) to try it. In fact whoever else reads this go to Shauns website and give it a go and let him know on this thread.

Pete

[stevegunn]

Email Shaun not working

[John Kelly]

Steve I love the way the vac hose actually floats off the side of the van, good touch.
It won't be long before we are saying good bye to you................get a few TV execs behind you and they'll be on the phone like a shot for you to host a game show or do the weather on Tyne Tees, better than that Bob Johnston bloke.

[John Kelly]

Just a thought, serious Don't you think having that Sunderland scarf in your cab could be costing you a few jobs over here. Shame to have a lovely van like that and the charver looks out and says I'm not using him he's a Mackem.
Just a thought, you know what their like.

[stevegunn]

You saying I look like Bob hope it rains everyday on your holiday


No Sunderland scarf in cab its a flag and its in the door pocket out of sight I know how bitter and jealous the geordies are of us

Seriously enjoy your holiday

[John Kelly]

I think you have well and truly cracked it there Steve and the smiley face your wearing is the biggest difference in my book. You look friendly, approachable and like you enjoy your work.

Pete

Howay then Steve....are you going to let on to the others why your smile is so genuinely happy? 
Cheers
Lynn

[stevegunn]

Our lass flashed her boobs at the front window to make me smile :

[clive]

Steve, You might still have time,
Would you like to borrow a picture of me?

Clive

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I once went on holiday with the inlaws and the first thing her mother did was get them out in the sun I thought she was going to have a game of keep-i-up-is or spot against the wall, the natives spicks (no I'm not one of them!) thought it was 2 o clock when they dropped because it sounded like the cannon on the battlements going off!

Shaun

[stevegunn]

Its going back next week to have the G changed in gunns and get the logos put on

[Joe H]

Steve,
Looks pretty good to me

[Doug Holloway]

Steve

Looks good although a bit less beer might have helped

Cheers

Doug

[David_Annable]

Hi

That will get you noticed, very impressive.

Dave

[clive]

Whose picture did you use in the end Steve?


Clive

[*paul_moss]

Steve the van looks great.
Should give you some extra work.
nd will defo get you noticed more.
Just ignore the Kelly boy, he's just a bit envious.

[Phil Marlor]

Steve, I would consider leaving your picture on the side but maybe not the rear, just think it looks too much at the back.

Also "Soft Furnishing Cleaning" doesn't sound right to me, Upholstery Cleaning sounds better.

Just a thought.

Phil

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Excellent I really like it, all that for £600 and something plus vat?

Shaun

[Straker Cleaning]

Very smart............ informative and attention grabbing ..................without looking like an ice cream van 

Van near me that has writing on it that would take 10 minutes to read.......what chance does he stand 

Smiley face is much better.........just try keeping it up 

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Chris thanks for photos, tried emailing you but it bounced back, you haven't but call blocking on me have you?

Thanks again

Shaun

PS like the half clean stair one, do you think they'll pay for the other half to be done?

Shaun

[carpetworx]

Van looks great Steve
I bet your already getting work from it.
The carpet cleaning wizard is a nice touch,what sort of van is it and what does look like inside?
let us know many calls of the van you get, thinking of doing something similar.
cheers
Martin..

[Len Gribble]

Steve

Very nice then I got to say haven’t I

Len

[*Chris Browne]

Looks great Steve!.....wouldnt change anything!

 

Chris

[klinger (spa clean)]

thoughts? I think she,s absolutely gorgeous!

[Dave_Lee]

Blimey, you have lost weight Steve, I'm impressed!
Dave.

[AquaMagic]

Looks great Steve, that photo is miles better than the first one.

Dene

[Ian Rochester]

Reminds me of the Sky vans, you know the one with Homer Simpson on the side.

Looks good
