probably not strictly required but youll get loads of work from it

for those with a sign written van, myself included, how often has a new customer said to you "oh yes, I have seen your van around" ?
would they be saying the same if you had an unmarked vehicle ?
I think it speaks for itself really, make your van stand out and shout what you do, its the best advertising.

having your van sign written is ok if you need the work but i left mine plane because i don,t need any more and no one knows whats in the back so less chance of it geting knicked and not only that if you upset some one out on the road its less agro. (ps sorry about spelling) ::) ::)

IMO your mad, an unsign written van is more of a traget to some type of folk, as it blends in, now if my van was nicked I would get free advertising whilst they was triving it, then all the details of where they took the van all free ;D

Sign written van
Been cleaning a full house UPVC, with gutters and conservatory roof today, well priced and just packing up - lady walks past can I have a price on pressure washing slabs at the back of the house, she had seen it on the van, popped round and priced it up.
Woman comes over the road - can you give my mom a price on her UPVC.
Go over - she says been reading your signwriting and looking on your website, job booked in for tomorrow morning.
Can I live without my signwriting, not a chance.
You don't know what is going on with people watching your every move whilst you are working on a street, one of the biggest pieces of business equipment you have is a vehicle. It has large panels on the side - utilise this space!!!

some people have said to me dont get signwriting becasue then the tax man or whoever can see your every move. are these people just paranoid or do you guys think there is any truth in that?
-
that is paranoirer Milltown, for the tax man to know your every move he must follow you around all year!
I know they wont follow anyone around unless they have good reason to, they have a budget to run too and wouldnt be able to afford it.

how many sign written vans do you think there are and how many tax men ? ;)
-
i agree with you all!! i suppose if you are trying to dodge tax or whatever then u will not want a sign written van, but where you are legitimate i think its a great idea.

milltown
sign-writing is a must, our transporter has glow in the dark sign-writing, cost a packet (I think it was about £1400 or so - I'll ask my son, he sorted it out), but it brings in work, we're very busy and to be honest I don't want any more work, but it was a worthwhile investment.
get it done.
ps I think you are a new start so the tax man will know that you probably won't have a lot of work for the first year or so.

not knocking you personally Milltown but statements like the above just show how unprofessional parts of our trade is.

yea i agree with you, the people that mentioned that to me would be of the old school of thought. "tell the tax man nothing"!!!
-
I don`t think you can ever have enough work to be honest so a signwritten van is essential,even if you turn a lot of it down you never know you might get a job from it that is like gold dust.If you drive around in a plain vehicle your drastically reducing this from happening.
-
I personally dont think a sign written van brings in any business. Ive got a complete vehicle wrap that has featured in an ionics brochure but Ive never had one job because of it. It just gives you a more professional image when you are on site.

i was out collecting in the van last night and got 40 quid,s worth of new work!
they all said I've just seen your van through the window!
now i usually collect in our family car as i would have filled the van for the next day and it is usually on charge!.......time for a re think?
