Title: Whats the best spotter bottle to leave with customer?
Post by: benny d on March 01, 2012, 01:13:10 pm
Hi all,
I am thinking of doing a free spotter bottle for customers after a job.
I did use Cleansmart bottles a few years ago, which seemed to be ok. But I was wondering if anyone has what they might say is an exceptional spotter bottle, and from which supplier?
Thanks

I think so long as its a good product then it doesnt matter who you buy from. If they are safe and effective and custies like them - then stick with them. Suppliers have some great solutions available at good cost.

Personally we use our own product - which our clients really like and is more cost effective for us. Its a win win as custies often want more and we make a good mark up (approx 1400%).

Cheers

Kev

Think anything you leave ie spotters etc will be a good idea and anything that keeps your contact number in the clients home will benefit.

Billy thought that was a giant polo mint ;D

I agree, excellent product and brill service.

p.s. Tony - you would be better off buying ready made tbh, it is a pain trying to do it yourself - especially if something goes wrong with a client. You need to have all the back up from a supplier, doing it yourself can leave you open.

Think Derek sourced some bottles onces . I think he negotiated a bulk buy discount.

Now he is elevated to the Great heights of Mr President perhaps its a deal the TACCA could do

In reality is it worth the trouble  by the time you have filled bottle printed label  ( inject not good enough in my opinion) issued safety instructions etc etc.

Although Kev is making a fantastic Margin we do not know what price he sells for or the quality of his product.

I read a Which report which said Washing Up Liquid is effective on a lot of household spills

We get them from Restormate and the ink on the labels doesn't run if they get wet.  I buy them by the 100, just started a freebie promotion with all jobs booked, so hopefully I'll have to buy some more very soon  ;D
Title: Re: Whats the best spotter bottle to leave with customer?
Post by: Colin Day on March 03, 2012, 08:18:30 am
Just to clarify, Ian isn't suggesting that other supplier's labels DO have a problem with the ink running when wet. But if you print out your own labels at home on a bog standard printer, the ink will run.... :)

Yes your right colin  not really worth printing them if they are going to run..Best to buy from a supplier i m o..
