If it helps heres one i done myself for my oven cleaning business and sent to local publications along with photograph of operater and sign written van.

Sometimes there's a factor about a company that portrays confidence and reliability, enter………CookerMate a company specialising in the professional cleaning of domestic ovens, hobs and extractors including the replacement of the primary filter.CookerMate is a Tyneside based family business headed by owner operator George Ormston and covers the whole of the North East region.
 
George explains, "The CookerMate cleaning process removes all traces of burnt on carbon, grease and fat from the oven, the removable fittings are deep cleaned in the specially equipped vans process tank and the remainder of the oven is cleaned manually, only bio-degradable, non caustic, fume free cleaning products are used during the 1½ to 2 hour cleaning operation and you may use your oven immediately afterwards ,the exterior and glass of the oven are also left gleaming, and I will also replace bulbs where required on the appliances I valet. "George adds " My cleaning service is particularly beneficial to some of my customers who have arthritis and the like and find jobs such as cleaning the oven difficult"
Most of the business comes via recommendations and one such recommendation from a Mrs Eckert of Heaton, Newcastle states, "A brilliant job my oven is like new again and what an improvement since changing the extractor fan filter, and so inexpensive, I will definitely be using the service again and have passed on the details to my Daughter".

CookerMate and George look forward to being of service to you

When you get your editorial make sure there is a photo' included.............not a van, or machine.........you, or someone in the busines with a likeable smile................my wife, in our case !!!!

Our first editorial was placed in 2000 and we still come accross the copy, which clearly made an impression.

We get 1/3 of a page for £150 which goes into two daily editions and a FREE delivered edition.

We got this editorial done for us mid Jan completely free of charge in the business section, and have had an amazing response from it, busiest January ever. :o

We had to pester the Echo for about two months to put it in, but it was worth while in the end.  Normal cost would of been about £300 -£400 if paying for it,  just make sure what your saying is of some local interest and seen as news not just advertising.
