Title: Van Graphics
Post by: garyfindlay on December 15, 2009, 08:03:33 pm: Do I need to put professional carpet cleaning on my van? Had a couple of people as if I do carpet cleaning. Are they thick or am I not stating the obvious?

Put it next to "Domestic and Commercial" so it's underneath your logo.

Oh look the circus is in town. ;D

I would put it on then there's no chance of confusion.

Although I think it's just another one of those things people say as an opener.

I've suffered the reverse. For years the majority of our business was window cleaning and in December of each year we would send a newsletter to each customer with latest regulations, thanks for your custom blah blal blah.
On there in big letters would be Don't forget we do Carpet Cleaning Too.
The number of times people would say months later having seen the van "Oh I didn't realise you did Carpet Cleaning."

You do end up thinking, why do I bother?

My wife has just pointed out that possibly people think you 'sell' cleaning products as it doesn't clearly state you 'clean' carpets.

Post by: richie on December 16, 2009, 12:06:06 am: I think the confusion ;ies with the wording 'ELITE Cleaning Solutions'. Some people obviously think that you supply cleaning chemicals. If i were you as already suggested id put the wording Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning Services next to Domestic & Commercial and or change from ELITE Cleaning Solutions to ELITE Cleaning Services.

Richie.
PS
I think your van looks really eye catching.
