how does it and has it helped your business image?

[Niall McAllister]

I have the logo on my paper work  and while no one has a clue what it is, people like the idea of the window cleaner being part of something bigger :
who knows i might even join one day

[Nathanael Jones]

It's helped my business,.. the crest is on all my paperwork (Quotations etc) along with the BICS logo, Thermoshine Logo, and Safety Aware Contractor logo. It makes me look like I care about my business, my clients, and that I'm aiming to be something more than just the "ladder monkey with a dirty scrim" stereotype that many ppl still hold in their minds of window cleaners.

Personally, I also find that I feel more confident when going to quote too,...

Facilities managers are increasingly aware of the guild, and the free to use thermoshine marketing package compares favourably with costlier alternatives and means an independant operator can now use the full power of well thought out branding.

Facilties managers want costs lowered, quality raised, and an operator who is switched on. In other words he wants a guild member.

[Nathanael Jones]

Well put Clive!

How much is the guild? Is it not just another apwc?

[Nathanael Jones]

The Guild membership fee is £12 per annum. Unlike the FED or APWC the Guild is not a trade association, it's an international, non-profit, professional association of cleaners. The ethos of the Guild is that it is run "For the members, by the members",.. the members have a huge input into the way the Guild develops as it grows.
