I like it , dont listen to that tool windows 11 , dont know his arse from his elbow , he's probably one of those jap eyes that claim to take a million profit in the first year , i'd kick his head in if he was local to me , KOK  ;D

Like i said T&T , short , sweet , all you need , i made the mistake of putting all the services on my vans , wish i never , they always ask for it when your stacked out , then they give you grief when it wasnt done yesterday , keep it the way it is , then you wont have to bin the tools like i did  ;D

P.S Did i mention windows 11 was a sharp object ?

   ;D  Rich   ;D

this windows11 really is a bit of a tit! ::)

i would say its ok but id clean it up a bit and get some alloys or wheels trims to smarten it up a bit! ;) ;D ;D.

i have just picked up my first job because of my signed van.nobody ever uses my email address though!i also would have put WINDOW CLEANING and telephone numbers much bigger than you have but its ok.

Also a signwritten van is cheaper to insure for obvious reasons!!

Post by: Lee Pryor on February 02, 2011, 11:11:05 pm
I like it generally, like the name and the colours.

If I can criticise without being seen as a  a tool, there are some things I would change

1 its filthy, not a good add for a cleaning company, ours are down the jet wash every week or 2 regardless.

2, im not keen on mobile numbers on vans, leaflets and so on

3 the email and web addresses are to busy with the dashes ect

4, I would loose the writing in light blue above the company name.

god that all sounds really bad doesnt it? as i said I do like it.

Just make sure you tell the insurance company as they class signwriting as a modification.
Our company car was written off 12 months ago from an accident in the snow and we had problems as we didn't inform them about the signwriting!

sounds like there is some over sensitive people in this part of the forum but any way will offer my bit of advice, doesn't mean i'm right but thought it's worth giving. i'll only mention areas that imo aren't as good as they could be so take rest as being good.

- i don't like the email address as mentioned above it looks messy. do customers actually take the email from vans? seems a little distracting from rest of info

- i don't like mobile numbers either. if you are never there to answer a landline then it may be worth getting it diverted. to me it gives a better impression

- my eyes were first drawn to the "excellence delivered" before i noticed the rest, which made me think you were a delivery company

Agree, mobiles are a no no....email addys also...but a web address i think looks ok.

Post by: Taylor & Taylor WC Services on February 03, 2011, 09:21:27 pm
Blimey your a critical bunch...........I think it looks great and I had two people approach me today in a supermarket car park (first day out in the van) for a quote so it's giving me a return already!

E-mail may not be necessary but I do have a lot of e-mail inquiries but not sure from which source people obtain it from?

Mobile I had put on this van because I am moving soon and have to get a diversion on the landline next month. Thought it better safe than sorry.

Yes it's dirty in the pics but it is washed every weekend plus it's not in action yet!

I also think that 'WINDOW CLEANING SERVICES' and my numbers are pretty visible?

The domain name was all I could buy at the time so yes I agree the website and e-mail address is a bit of a mission to take in.

'EXCELLENCE DELIVERED' Yes maybe a good slogan for a courier but most people will bother to read what excellence we are delivering........ie: window cleaning.

Feedbacks appreciated.

listen cockle..............and for the other bunch of moaners......

i said it looks poor, it does in my book, if u dnt like the replys dnt post such topics.....

2 or 3 people had a few issues with it, ie the numbers and e mails...

all in all id give a 3 out of 10 for it all,

for the question in my vans, i have 2 both well sign written.

and for god sakes wash the damn thing, i bet your waSHERS are the same

No

Unless you have a famous brand your name means nothing you should make what you do the biggest writing on your van

Constructive? What makes you think you can come on here and call me and my business like this? You don't know me? People like you are incredible. I will never understand how you can go through life or indeed business with your attitude........Quite spiteful and damaging comments that would be more at home on a teen chatroom.

Yes I may bite, but I have worked hard over the years to build a very successful business and what I believe is a good brand as do my customers. Like you I have two vans out covering a large area and have not purchased any work so yeah I feel I am justified in defending it.

I put the pics on for feedback but I don't think your posts replicate that in any other way than unnecessary.

Window11 do you have a website?

WINDOW CLEANING
by joe bloggs

I see what you mean but

It's all about brand building, as locally my logo is well recognised so It's achieving it's intention. And who's to say I don't have bigger ambitions?

PURPLE RHINO have been successful and that doesn't spell out window cleaning.

Post by: chopsie on February 04, 2011, 11:23:40 am
Looks good taylor, But I agree with the above comment about having 'window cleaning' needing to be bigger than your name. I have made this mistake with my van. I never realised until the other week when i went to a coal merchants, got talking to them and they said they had seen my van around, knew my name but never knew what i did, infact they thought i was a builder  ::)  If and when i replace my van (many years i hope) I will have window cleaning as the most dominant bit.

Post by: mci services on February 04, 2011, 01:13:48 pm
I agree with chopsie and gordon and just add make your phone number large as well, that is the one thing I would change on my van.

does look smart though.

Ok lads this part of my van to show what I mean about having window cleaning larger, I think all your vans are fine but the public need to know exactly what you do, nobody ever remembers my company name evn tough it is a large font, perhaps because it is rubbish

(http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg131/stumac1971/DSC00057-1.jpg)

I did not mean to dig anyone up just point how important it is to let people know what you do, now slate away

and as mentioned my contact number needs to be bigger as well, but trust me folk know I am a window cleaner as you can see that straight away

Stu mac , what is it you do again , cant see it on your van anywhere  ;D

Now that is how you do it , had mine done 5 year ago on the VW , its due to be redone soon so BIG AND BOLD NEXT TIME

OK you say it as it is, i like that but little end words like mug is pushing it a little, you might get away with it on forums but real life face to face you would get away with it, to me that show me a lot, i don't hold back much but on forums i think it has to be, other wise it will get real boring reading it, but you can choose your words better and people don't get to up tight, even though you can mean it, say i call you a fudge packet since you is, it don't look as bad, so stop being a bum pot and pick better words you fraggle.
