Hi everyone just wanted some feed back from cleanitup members as to whether or not
you think that having funny promo videos is suitable for carpet cleaning websites.
I made a couple yesterday and have posted one on my Facebook page this morning I've managed to get 1 like so far lol
so not a rip roaring success. But i was thinking about putting one on my website
maybe as a bit of an ice breaker and to take away from all the usual serious stuff.
I've already got quite a few videos of me cleaning carpets so wanted to try something a little different.

what do you think guys and girls?

too stupid? customers might think no way am i going to use them? crap?

thanks guys

thanks for the input guys I've now changed it too this one

Yeah, drop the poop pic, but otherwise its good. Replace with a pic of a toilet or something?

Do you think it's suitable to be put on my website for potential customers to see.
or do you think it might be a step too far.

I like it, but I think its probably more suited to facebook page/youtube (make sure you put a link on there).

Thumbs up from me... there's nothing wrong with letting a bit of your character show through, especially on facebook.

Great job,

Like somebody else said no harm in showing some personality.
Shows u don't take yourself too seriously.
Ice breaker I would agree, and I would personally think if I was a punter that this guys a normal guy with a sense of humour and a lot of people like that.

So I would say go for it and throw it up. Can't u always take it down if u feel it ain't working.
