i just wouldnt put it, too personal perhaps? card a place where theyve got a window cleaner and they tell them/show them your card. i know it doesnt happen often but you can upset people

jealous people, people who want you out. theyll all know where you live and where you equipment is.

just something i think thats all, its up to you. im not speaking from experience, as we dont get it round here, but ive heard stories of other window cleaners threatning. vandalising

you could always remove top line of address and post code and leave area and town best of both worlds then ;D

i wouldnt even do that, people will look at that and possibly think he doesnt come to my area

keep it simple

i'd leave it in. if some one had a vandetter agains you it wouldnt be hard to find ya, you have a sign written van, web site with your address on. your in business not in a gang!!

surley you can look after your self and should have insurance so whats the prob?

com customas exspect to find an address on a business card.

i didnt put mine on my cards because i thought it was to much info for a small area but i regrett it now because nearly every one asks y its not on there!!

people wont do business with a company that only has a mobile number. well no address is simeler.

I think it’s a legal requirement to have your full name and address on all stationary.

Don’t know what the consequences are if you don’t do what is required. It will be in your interest to find out. If you are not going to comply with the law, how things might go against you if something went wrong.

no i dont think so

Looks good.

IMO having the address on a business card says something about credibility, that you have nothing to hide.

Hi Matt
Just take your house number off.
Card looks good but I'm not sure of vista print.
Print out that card/design and take it to your local printer and tell them what vista charge. They may not be as cheap but will not bombard you with spam emails!

I quite like it myself.
I did misread the top line as
"MRS WINDOW CLEANING" at first.
That'll teach me to put my specs on before I go online   :)

MBS, i think the logo is lost on your version, the colours do not go with your website ( i take it thats your corporate branding??) i thought maybe something a little more like this is in keeping with your "corporate image?"

tell me to mind my own business of course if you wish, but its just my opinion!!  ;) ;D

I used Vista Print too  ;D

Post by: steve.ternent on May 29, 2008, 07:54:23 pm
 ;) I used vista print, they are cheap and cheerful !
I never got the premium cards (it showed)
and loading up my own image/format was a nightmare!

Had them done "Professionally" in town £80 for 500
and the logo/name look like two separate items...  >:(

It's IDeal window cleaning
and not Deal window cleaning as many people have asked... REALLY annoying

I will go to vista print or someone like them next time!  8)
