Title: New Van Signage - Before/After
Post by: Colin Day on September 24, 2010, 02:38:33 pm
I decided to go for big and bold after being asked far too many times... "Do you clean ovens and carpets?"

It must be eye catching enough, already booked 3 jobs in from people stopping by..... :)

belonging to something thats a common household name gives customers confidence in your company, thats why.

is that really why? would a customer really say oh he's in thomson local he must be good? i'm being honest here and actually asking as it makes no sense what so ever to me as you don't belong to anything, just pay to be listed there.

makes no sense to you, does that really mean it makes no sense to anyone else, are you really the b all and end all.

umm of course if it makes no sense to me that doesn't mean i doesn't make sense to the customer ??? that's kind of why i'm asking. was your reason the actual reason or was it a guess as to why people put it there?

I'm getting a new web site built, as soon as it's up and running I'll add it on.... Somewhere :D

i thought the big bit at the bottom of the vehicle that ends with .com is the website addy?

eidt: silly me i can now see the msn bit. imo you should drop msn emails asap as this looks unprofessional imo. msn is used by scammers online and offline, real unique email addresses aren't as often so give a much better image. perhaps others will disagree but imo the benefits outweight the minutes it takes to set it all up.

also imo you should have made "carpet and oven cleaning" blue as this stands out far more

Be careful putting van on here - I had a call off a signwriter in Kent asking what was the font on my van, I asked why, 'someone has brought a picture of your van in and want the same, logo and all'!

The guy should have a cheeky monkey logo instead.

I don't mind TBH if someone copied the design, imitation is the highest form of flattery ;D
