Concise and to the point.

I would make 'Window Cleaning' a bit bigger - that's what you want them to notice first.

Also I presume all your contact details are on your website?  My experience is people are more likely to trust you if they have a name, address and landline number rather than just a mobile

I wouldnt have one off cleans on there as youll get potential regular customers going for this instead.

Very good Paul.
simple and to the point.
What you don't want is too much writing as people are lazy and wouldn't be bothered to read the leaflet.
Like Ian said, if you can put a landline number on the flyer it would be better.

good leaflet mate but I wouldn't put 5 weekly cleans as some may want 4 weekly or even 6 or 8  but I usually leave that to the customer.

where you have cleans frames and sills   on my leaflets I have that in a bold red background as i want something to jump off the page when a potential customer reads it.

when you push em through letter boxes (for those that don't answer the door) use a pencil. Dogs lye in wait to take your fingers off if you push them through by hand.

Coral draw is superb soft ware I ahave used it for years.Just one thing dont use free phone as some customers still have to pay and whats more its cost them a hell of a lot more if there provider is not the same as yours. People dont mind paying a normal fee.

maybe put in "join our monthly/2monthly window cleaning programme" or something like that.

id also take out one off cleans.

to the point and easy to read.

I would change the "Frames and sills done as standard"  to " Frames and sills cleaned as standard"

also check the use of upper case letters on your flyer as you currently have a mix.

Nice Job But as Ian said window cleaner should always be bigger than your name.

They want to know what you are not who you are.

Window cleaner and phone number should always be the biggest parts of any text. ;)

With regards to the sign writing, Is it vinyl stickers and a removable sheet inside type of thing?

If its sign writing stuck on, I personally would use the whole of the back and not just the window!

Hi

i can't change the size of the window cleaning text without changing the whole logo  :'( and if it was a van i would use the whole of the back and not just the window but it is my car and not a van so i will only use the rear window. when vinyl signs are left on a car for a long time when you remove the signage you can see where the sun has weathered the rest of the paint work. any more ideas would be great.

thanks paul ;D

i had signs in my back window of my car and after a while it really bugged me ,relying on side mirrors but seeing glimpses/shadows of traffic thru the rear glass,more so at night .  so i now have signwork just on the rear hatch metalwork and  can relax  when driving in traffic . if you are definitely going with the glass , id blank out the window totally  if i were you

A simple twenty mins with something as cheap as tcut resolves this problem. Think if its stuck on the window its no neater than being on the back anywhere, and you may as well take the opportunity  to make it a bot more noticeable. Like spread the website addy across the bottom of the boot etc.
