No offence but Purefect looks like a peculiar spelling.
I realise it's a play on words but it doesn't scan well and may make you look unprofessional which is a pity as you've obviously put some thought into it.
Professional only has one 'F'
Father Ted references are amusing and Feck is used as a verb for 'to steal' or 'to throw'.
Seems to be a bit of a debate over whether or not it's offensive but probably best not to get into that.

I would definitely get rid of the "whilst you were out" on the payment slips.

Nothing simpler or better than"your windows were cleaned today"

Hi James
I remember when you first proposed this some time ago there was some Irish (I'm sure) guy on here pointed out to you that FECT - can mean something entirely different to what you may intend!!!
I'd be inclined to take his advice on board.

I like the name and logo the way you have don your print.The Logo could be two word,But that`s what it novel.I would say a day well spent.I always run a spell check and get my wife to read so I have another perspective.

I really like it but you should have checked if that name was already in use as is unfair to the other guy who has built he's reputation up over the years.

Insure, should be ensure.

Insurance is spelt with an "i" not an "e".

James. Can you clean up to 65'?

I like the pure bit it looks really smart nice artwork so maybe keep that bit and think of something else to go with it.

Ok - the insure thingy -

Insure, insurance is to do just that - you buy insurance to cover accidents etc.

Ensure - is you make sure something is done.

So please ensure you enclose payment slip with cheque is correct.

I insure my van against accident or theft etc.

I ensure my van is locked to ensure that my insurance company cannot wriggle out of paying up.

I ensure that I remember to insure my vans on time by putting a reminder on my wall planner.

See?

Hi Spruce. I currently dont have a pole that would reach 65' If a job came in where it was required then I would invest ;)

i dont want to make you feel bad, but i also think that purefect is a naff, gimmicky name.  whats wrong with using real words?  doesnt come across as professional to me

Appreciate your opinion.

Whats wrong with real words? well, whats wrong with gimmicky names?

In my opinion, just your name, J.Milton window cleaning for example is naff and boring. My name/logo is memorable, the play on words as in perfect-purefect is quite good (imo)

Forgetting the name for a moment, the style of logo/flyer and bill are smart tho would you agree?

there's a window cleaner in my neck of the woods with a white mercedes vito and big black writing on the side says simply window cleaner and his mobile number that's it doesn't say how he cleans why he cleans what he cleans or who he cleans for ... I think that is all the marketing anyone needs to do really ... all the rest is wasting money and time imho ...

after all which ones of your residential customers gives a feck (sorry couldn't resist) as long as you clean windows and are competent end of story


thoughts?

Not bad Gold but anther way,
Insure, may happen. The van may be nicked or cashed
Ensure , will happen. Life assurance for example.
