Not really , it’s clear and simple - window cleaning- if you did sfg cleaning, gutter vacuuming etc etc , I would add that but if you are strictly window cleaning , then that’s all people need to see. I like you’ve still got a bit of pink in it lol  :)

A landline phone number would be good as well as mobile.

Hi P@F
I'd put WHAT you do in bigger print than who you are, as WHAT you do is what people firstly want to know and who you are comes second imo.
It should be clearly understandable and distinct what you do.
Good luck  :)

Why?most people don't use landline phones anymore.....I'd stick with the mobile only number....

Quite right and also if I'm out cleaning windows how am I supposed to answer the landline?

I forget we have a landline I don't think I've used it in years. When It rings once a month or so it's the mother in law.   :'( I never answer it.

All good so far , as for landline , i dont want my private number for custies use , its my number not the biz number !
The font size of WHAT i do is governed by the size of the van really , if bigger it would look too busy or over shoot the door gaps which is what i want to avoid as it peels away too easy then .

I like it a lot - If you're choice is to not show a landline number then it might be wise to replace the picture of a telephone you have and replace with a picture of a mobile - soz if that is your mobile your highlighting.
Just to be awkward - i do get a lot of work through my landline as some  more mature potential custards still won't/can't or refuse to use mobiles.
Thanks for sharing

Very simple. Less is always more.

My van signwriting is very minimalist. It looks much neater and upper class compared to some guys vans i have seen and it just window cleaning.

You sometimes see those  vans with Window Cleaning, Gutter Cleaning, Oven Cleaning, Conservatory Cleaning, Leaf Clearing, Dog Walking, One off Cleans, Handyman, Hedge Cutting, Bin Cleaning....basicly someone who hasbt got much work and will do anything for some beer money.

Thanks for the input , but my take is , if they are too tight to ring a mobile then they wont want to pay my price either  ;D

It's quite easy to divert your landline  to your mobile for when you are out working....think people like to see a local number.

I see that as they will do anywork they can (general handyman) why do you think anything for beer money? no offencence but anyone looking in the back of your van could easily interpret the same  ;D

I don't have a landline phone(I never have!)....

I want customers mobile numbers...I'm not interested in their landline numbers...easier to get hold of them if needed and I like to text(rather than speak to them)for night before notifications/Text reminders etc......

Most customers phone using their mobiles so its easy to store their details without asking them for their number! ;)

Very nice livery -  straightforward and stylish

Mobile or landline ? I only have a landline

Early days I found it a pain to keep stopping while fielding enquiries it would eat into the day something chronic

Lots of potential customers have said they rang me because of the landline as they knew I was local, not a fly be night sort of business - that is many of the older generation who say this - have which number you prefer it’s your van 😎

Vast majority  of my very large houses contacted me by landline  ;)

Hi p@f.

So your doing yourself?

Where did you get vinyls from?

Like design agree with rigsby would have window cleaning bigger.

Nice design

You could put pane in the glass window cleaners I’ve always thought that would be a good one.
