Be nice
-
How much did you have to pay Jimmy five belly's to use his picture?
Seriously though, I like it. Not in my taste necessarily but it is very eyecatching without looking corny which is a difficult style to achieve.
-
Steve, I think you spoil it.
it has a nice theme then it looks like you've just plonked yourself next to it, you need to dress the part, perhaps with a pointy hat and cloak.
also you need to be looking directly at the camera ( and smiling) so it looks like you are looking out from the van.

steve i like it, just dont put yer self on it, you'll be giving kids nightmares, i'd have the wizard with a cleaning wand. a bit like my van, oh i thought you lost weight ;)

billy
that was before 2 holidays and lots of beer
-
put this picture on your mantel and you'll keep the kids away from the fire ;D
As Mike says you need to be a bit more done up and looking at the camera as if to say hello.
Shaun
PS Mike you've started something now
-
also ;) ;)
if I saw that as I was walking past and wanted a carpet cleaner I would look in the Y/Ps for ( or search on the internet) 'carpet cleaning wizard'
you need to bring your name into the design more.
how about having a carpet wand in one hand and a magic wand in the other
Mike
ps although I'm saying all this I do like the idea, and like as already been said, it will be very noticeable

The pic was taken whilst I was cleaning not very photo genic
-
Looks quite eye catching, but i would definately change the Pic
-
If you are going to put your picture on your van remember you are not trying to do a photo-shoot for playgirl,
nobody cares that you are a fat, ugly git ;D ;D
all they care about is 'would I trust that man to come into my home'
look professional & smile, that all it takes.
Mike
-
need to use your pic then fatty six fingers :P ;)
-
tried , the number on the back of the van could not get through! ;D
-
Hi
Something like ring Steve Gunn the Carpet cleaning Wizard on 0099 ---- , would tie it in more.
Dave
-
or should i put a pic of the prowler on instead of a pic of myself ???
-
I doubt the prowler will meqn much to anyone. I agree with Mike. A nice friendly smile looking at the camera with your wand in your hands whilst you stoke it up and down the carpet making it damp.
-
DON`T MENTION VANISH !!!!!I think all the van would look better as a cartoon, with no real picture, but looks catchy.
-
Don't know why but from your posts and the few emails you have sent I would have pictured you as a moody ante hero type, maybe something along the lines of Dirk Gently from the Hitchhiker Galaxy series from Douglas Adams.
Why don't you put a picture of Keano nutting Shearer on your van. Will get one half of the North East loving you and put a smile on your face every time you get into your van in the morning
-
Aye, but he'd get lynched in the other half!
-
No matter what the lads may think of your photo,.. having a picture of yourself in ANY of your advertising will increase the number of calls you get. People like to know what the guy on the other end of the phone line looks like.
-
Looks good steve,
What about tile and grout cleaning?
-
Steve
Have you settled for a new van as well?
-
steve i like it but agree you need a bit better pic of yourself on there , and defo make the wiszard smaller , and your name bigger or even remove the wiszard lettering and just leave him
maybe a pic of a minging carpet then some starts (like hes casting a spell) and a pic of the same carpet clean ???? just all idears buddy
-
Steve
Have you settled for a new van as well?
No keeping the van just getting it wrapped instead
-
not going to mis you now are we!!!
nice design and bright without being dayglo, is it very expensive?
-
What type of van is it Steve?
-
not expensive £615+vat
http://www.ascension-signs.co.uk/
its a relay
-
Very nice looking van in my humble opinion!
-
from a female point of view i just lerv bold men with bellies, and as for the man boobs, us girls just luv'm
-
Whatever you do Steve, get the 'G' logo moved closer to the rest of your name. If I didn't know it already, I'd think it was "unns Cleaning Services". ;)
Cheers
Lynn
-
;D Hi Stevie,
love the lettering but are you really trying to take a p or take THE p out of our expertice...................P.s have got a free bottle of PP neutrlizer when you're finished!!!
I know your a top bloke, Only taking the p,
P.s Is your wand only 50 psi (pumps ) ;D
Seriously, the van looks cool put yer babe with the bikini on it though. ................................That,ll get ye work man
-
Steve
Where have I seen that design before? ;D
Len
-
len i thought the same thing, Saw a vito like that not too long ago! ;)
-
Steve has Len bought you out? Its just that not only do you have the same van design but just saw your ad on ebay (I see you have had a change of heart their as i remember you telling me it would just make you look cheap and unprofessional to ad on ebay) and am sure that the pub carpet in the photo is one of lens! ;D ;)
Cheers Goron
-
No Len ok'd me to use his pics.Well I get the same results if not bettter ;D ;) When did I say that??
£1.24 For a months advertising on ebay its got to be worth a go
-
Must be about 2 years ago now!
-
times change ;D ;)
-
Steve just had a thought why don't you put your head on the wizards body?
Shaun
-
because its too big :o
Final proof has been done getting it done week after next, thanks for everyone's input and no I'm not putting final proof up so you lot can take the p1$$ :D
-
Does anybody really get any work from this type of advertising?.
Steve times must be hard :'(
-
I mean Ebay, not the van.
-
Steve did you take any notice of of the things that have been said or are you keeping it the same as your first post?
Mike
-
Steve
I would make Carpet more prominent and get rid of Soft Furnishings, how many people say 'I must get my soft furnishings cleaned'.
As for the picture its certainly memorable, but if you wanted to sell only Minty would be in the running.
Cheers
Doug

Steve did you take any notice of of the things that have been said or are you keeping it the same as your first post?
Mike
Yes I did take notice of a lot of things that were said photo changed,company name bigger and a few of the other things too
-
steve, i think your graphics are very eye catching!! just one question? did you use to be the lead singer of the angelic upstarts, you don't arf look like him. regards freshi "i'm an upstart oi,oi"
-
Fresh, not many will have heard of the them even Steve "the Orcale" Gunn.
-
I have heard of them my mate was in a band who played their music if you can call it music :D
-
Aye, the Angelics were Makems as well.
-
He was a member of the cockney rejects he is the one on the end in the grey
(http://perso.numericable.fr/~sabre-too/images/photos/moicockney2.JPG)
-
Were they subjected to Mustard Gas as children?
-
mickey geggus & the rejects were a flipping great band, even though they were west ham, but i won't hold that against them, is your reject mate waring flares & slippers? freshi "i'm forever blowing bubbles"
-
Guess what Freshi, doing a job on Weds which has a pollen stain from Lillies. What part of the 83 step amtech method actually worked when you did yours the other day.
Pete
-
the custy 1st had a go at it with vanish & spread it roughly covering about 3ft by 3ft squ, used super solve 1st, got alot of color transfer from this, rinsed out with water after every application, 2nd pop-out, 3rd bw stain away, cfr enz out, then zap-it to finish it off & to take out any excess foaming, then rinsed through using cfr pro-spotter, water only. used about 6 terry towels. after every application of the products mentioned, these were rinsed out. regards freshi "last night another soldier"
-
looking back on the pollen stain, i think that just supersolve & zap-it would have been enough. freshi
-
Been to collect my van after having the sign writing done very happy ith the result.Obviously with it being dark now cannot post pic but this was the proof it was based on some mistakes on the proof I know.
-
I think you have well and truly cracked it there Steve and the smiley face your wearing is the biggest difference in my book. You look friendly, approachable and like you enjoy your work.
Pete
-
got to say its a lot better and make you look topper well done cant wait to see the pics
-
I thought it was Rab C. Nesbit ;D
Looks well Steve, should turn a few heads and get them asking for cards, are you going to have your business card done the same?
Shaun

Hoping to have them done the same in a couple of weeks
-
Pete on which page does the link doesn't work?
Shaun
-
On your contact page where it says or email "shaun" when I clicked in it just went to "page cannot be displayed. My end is working fine elsewhere so I thought you might want to check it out. Get someone else (other than you) to try it. In fact whoever else reads this go to Shauns website and give it a go and let him know on this thread.
Pete
-
Email Shaun not working
-
Steve I love the way the vac hose actually floats off the side of the van, good touch.
It won't be long before we are saying good bye to you................get a few TV execs behind you and they'll be on the phone like a shot for you to host a game show or do the weather on Tyne Tees, better than that Bob Johnston bloke.
-
Just a thought, serious :) Don't you think having that Sunderland scarf in your cab could be costing you a few jobs over here. Shame to have a lovely van like that and the charver looks out and says I'm not using him he's a Mackem.
Just a thought, you know what their like.

Seriously enjoy your holiday

Howay then Steve....are you going to let on to the others why your smile is so genuinely happy? ;)
Cheers

Our lass flashed her boobs at the front window to make me smile ::)
-
Steve, You might still have time,
Would you like to borrow a picture of me?
Clive ;)
-
I once went on holiday with the inlaws and the first thing her mother did was get them out in the sun :o I thought she was going to have a game of keep-i-up-is or spot against the wall, the natives spicks (no I'm not one of them!) thought it was 2 o clock when they dropped because it sounded like the cannon on the battlements going off!
Shaun

Its going back next week to have the G changed in gunns and get the logos put on
-
Steve,
Looks pretty good to me
-
Steve
Looks good although a bit less beer might have helped ;)
Cheers
Doug
-
Hi
That will get you noticed, very impressive.
Dave
-
Whose picture did you use in the end Steve?
Clive :)
-
Steve the van looks great.
Should give you some extra work.
nd will defo get you noticed more.
Just ignore the Kelly boy, he's just a bit envious.
-
Steve, I would consider leaving your picture on the side but maybe not the rear, just think it looks too much at the back.
Also "Soft Furnishing Cleaning" doesn't sound right to me, Upholstery Cleaning sounds better.
Just a thought.
Phil
-
Excellent I really like it, all that for £600 and something plus vat?
Shaun
-
Very smart............ informative and attention grabbing ..................without looking like an ice cream van ;)
Van near me that has writing on it that would take 10 minutes to read.......what chance does he stand :o
Smiley face is much better.........just try keeping it up ;)
-
Chris thanks for photos, tried emailing you but it bounced back, you haven't but call blocking on me have you? ;D
Thanks again
Shaun
PS like the half clean stair one, do you think they'll pay for the other half to be done? ;D
Shaun
-
Van looks great Steve
I bet your already getting work from it.
The carpet cleaning wizard is a nice touch,what sort of van is it and what does look like inside?
let us know many calls of the van you get, thinking of doing something similar.
cheers
Martin..

Steve
