Good for you Dave, i expect the reporter is a mate to get what amounts to a glorified advert like that. Thought the innuendo was okay along with the cheerfull style, but instead of buying him a pint next time you see him only get him half because use of the word lucrative was an error.
Getting all the facts wrong is okay as i expect he was half cut when you briefed him anyway, but impressive, or blue chip etc, might have been better choices than lucrative.Wouldn't want anyone to think your making any money eh? Least of all the wife.
I like the livery idea, but i also like the simplicity of your van signage, and again being the fastest, the world record holder even is a bit splash and dash.I'm suprised the reporter didn't calculate her hourly rate, i make it about £360 an hour if she could sustain the pace. That's lucrative.

Not a mate at all, It is a human interest story,
You see storys like that the length and breadth af the UK everyday.
I would reccommend every window cleaner contact there local rag if you get an achievment etc.
Every Rag or Mag as an editor, with there email readily available.
I got my safecontractor in about 6 different magazines, 5 newspapers, and about half a dozen web sites.
I have advised many other window cleaners to do the same.
Its easy when you know how, I plan to run another few storys over the coming months, some are absolute nonsence but i will make them sound good.
Watch this space lol
p.s. I am the publicity king, (the Max Clifford of the WC world)
if you got a story, I could help !!
-
hrrrmph
Well if you wrote a press release and all they had to do was add the house style how come all the facts were wrong?
I do agree with what you say about how keen they are to use snippets, but next time ask for copy approval.
-
Clive
I didnt write that press release, I phoned the editor, he took the story over the phone.
I didnt have time to write it last month, I was far too busy.
If i wrote it, I would of added about us "taking Safety to new Heights" but thats for my next story now, due out soon.

give him a ring, he will tell you the same

Very good Dave! That bit about covering "the whole of Cornwall" shows the reporter is a master of understatement.
It shoud have read "the whole of Cornwall, the Scilly Isles, the south west of England as far as Bristol - unt tomorrow zer vorld!" ;D

Don't laugh too long or the fun police will come to get you.

David - How did you find getting Safecontractor approved, I tried last year and gave up (proberly to early) going to retry this year, has it been worth it for you are you getting much work from being approved/
-
Wayne
Same as anything else, you just have to sit down and commit to it, I hate doing it, takes me about a week of frustration usually.
-
Just been to the local Co-op it was hilarious to see this sign ;D

It was a good story very well written, apart from the lucrative blip, and i'm sure phil will agree if you mention it. He sticks to the point.
Any addition such a safety would have detracted from this.Where are you going to get the human interest in taking safety to new heights?
-
I know what you mean about frustrating!
But has it been worth it getting approved?
-
Clive
I cant reveal until it is in print, someone might nick my idea its that simple.
Wayne
Its the same as anything, its how you market yourself, you dont get accredited and wait for the phone to ring, you have to shout it from the rooftops.
One of my strong points is marketing, and the Safecontractor is part of it.
Its all marketing, look at any advert, they keep repeating the message, no matter where it is, brag, show off, market, its all the same thing, you will get noticed and remebered.
Put the logo on your van, stationary, website everywhere.

While i agree you are a marvelous max clifford type you have to admitt your wife did help out a little by winning the world title.This wasn't an idea anyone else could pinch.
-
Clive
when you set your mind to something it can be achieved.
We are planning a new world record with something completely different, and no its not the worlds biggest head.

Hey DM - haven't been on here for decades, and what's one of the first things I see . . . Debbie with a bottle of wine in her hand.
Some things never change!
I've heard all sorts of reports about this place being a bit of a jungle, what have I missed?
-
Wavie
This place has been fine, some.
Its more or less stress free at the moment.
As for the wine, we had a bottle or 2 for you but you never turned up !!!

Nice pics, Dave. They made me smile on a Friday morning!
