Just had the sign writing on my van reworked, what do you think.
Is it eye catching enough?
-
Yes!!
And well done for the big Yellow Pages sticker. People don't remember phone numbers, but they do notice you'r in YP and look you up later!!
Yp will do you a deal and put your logo in your ad, makes you even more recognisable.

i like the iron...
ladderless window cleaning...about 10cm below a set of.... :D
-
Yeah looks clean and tidy but what makes me laugh and you find it a lot with wfp vans is the "ladderless window cleaning" wording and look what`s on top of your van ;D ;D ;D

people need the ladders. you explain the set up and they are fine with it, but if you have no ladders they get suspicious. It's like a placebo, it does nothing for them, but it puts their minds at ease ;D

But surely if climbing ladders to clean gutters why use wfp for cleaning windows isn`t that a bit of a contradiction on using wfp over ladders :-\

Not really as the water fed pole is safer for cleaning windows, I dont currently have a safer alternative for cleaning guttering.

Matt

It looks good - Same colours as ours

That was for removing the old vinyl and designing and applying the new signwriting.
Matt

Sounds like mates rates to me ;) my van is slightly larger though so that's probably made a difference.

Yep I'll post some pics when its done, should have it back by the afternoon, just hope it pays off my main concerns about it has been getting enquiries in areas I don't want, at the moment I tend to choose my customers which means my round so far is quality work but its taking ages to build, I should canvass more but like a few others have said its hard to go out again after a days work.
-
I am going to implement a minimum charge for my round in Essex.
I am moving down there in 2 weeks, I am also having 25-30,000 leaflets distributed in a couple of weeks time.
I thought with the minimum charge that will deter the time wasters and people in the areas I don't want lol
Matt
-
Trouble is I have some small jobs on good estates that are £10 minimum charge for 6 windows, however I would need to set a minimum of £15 to deter work I may not want, I'm thinking of setting a £15 minimum charge in new areas.

Yes!!

Ian , Without beinbg disrepectful. Yellow pages is going t++s up people (most people) dont use it that I know, the book one is a night mare to find anything and when you get there it tells you to turn to page 90000000057.
in 2009 I would be advertising my website alot quicker than trying to remebering it was in yellow pages then look him up them see he has a web site ( do you see my point)
a website (memerable) a phone number works
SIMPLES X

That's good to hear Ian my website is going to be quite prominent on the van :)

as it should be.
people sometimes cant remeber numbers they can remember a website if it is memerable!
old people will use yell so it depends on your target market, and Ian I am not having a dig at you in any way.
I do need to have a chat with you some time if that is ok ?

Wothing is renowned as being a haven for the elderly so perhaps I should do both, Join the queue with Ian Lancaster he's the Dalai Lama of CIU ;D ;D
-
I will definately use Tristan again for my future vans.
I think advertising as many forms of contact on your van would make a big difference.
-

-
lol ;D
This is Susans car lol

Van looks ok but that's one dodgy ladder! square rungs & black feet? it's a homebase effort! Treat yourself to a LYTE mb. I wouldn't want to clean gutters from that thing mate. ;)
-
Its been used for the past 6 years Mac lol, hoping not to be using them after Christmas.

Brave man!! ;D ;D

When are you having your leaflets dropped? Have you got any work in essex already?
-
Mac yes I have over 20 customers already down there. I'm also getting one offs on the plastics cleans etc.
When am I having the leaflets delivered? as soon as possible lol, well I am hoping that we get the leaflets from the printers this week so we can book them in with the distributor.
If we can book them in this week, then they will be delivered in 2 weeks time.

Well I got mine back now and I'm quite happy with it, need to tidy the bodywork and wheels now though ::)

I like the logo on the side, and the stop and ask us part on the door.
Matt

Cheers Matt, The stop and ask us is just so they don't think I'm going grumble if they do, Time will tell I guess.
