new leaflets (pics).... what peoples thoughts
« on: April 18, 2013, 09:28:59 am »
i wanted the leaflets to match my van design, but have a imediate effect as a customer seen them. So i the company i used said the best way to see that a company is a window cleaner would be using the traditional picture, but then further down i noted i am WTF aswell. Really happy with them, how much would people expect to pay for 10,000 of these double sided.  HOW DO I MAKE IMAGE SMALLER LOL?

Just made that a tad smaller for you mate - in the image tags you just write [ img width=900] like so.

Looks good!

They look very professional, but why not change the squeegee pic for a picture of a WFP?
It might get some customers confused, if they see a squeegee they will probably expect you to be doing traditional window cleaning and they might not expect you to turn up with a WFP pole.

I use that read photo as not everyone knows about WFP, and if I go to quote their property I will obviously explain the way we clean windows then there is no problems is there?
It's straight to the point, it's obvious it's a window cleaning leaflet, and if they have a massive problem with it then I might loose 1in every 100 custys.

Its a lie.
I always have poles on my pics and if someone on a ladder they can find them.

Well I would say 1in every 3 jobs I pick up doesn't have any idea about water fed poles? And I have to explain our method of cleaning? So what difference does it make. The leaflet states I offer proffesional window cleaning, and that's what customers will recieve, no matter what method of cleaning I use:).

right... Leaflets are very poor way of gaining custom and half the time probs not even read. So I felt if I have A BIG PHOTO of a traditional squeegee, it instantly draws attention to the leaflet. As I said in a recent post not many people have seen or heard of water fed poles?
Everyone has different approaches hense why some ways work and some don't :) I'm 20 and its trial and error really plenty of years until I retire ;)

A picture says a thousand words, and that's what that squeegee picture does. People immediately associate it with window cleaning.

I personally feel that the same picture of a man with a water fed pole has to be much more detailed before people get the same message. I think it takes longer to get your message across than with a simple squeegee.

I'm 99% WFP so have no axe to grind. With a leaflet you only have milliseconds to catch a potential customer’s eye.

However, IMHO I would say that the leaflet is too busy, there is too much info there - you have to stop and read it, which most won't as it takes effort. I would suggest a brief comment in bold like;  INTERIOR & EXTERIOR WINDOW, FRAME, GUTTER & FASICIA CLEANING SERVICE
Success is 1% inspiration, 98% perspiration and 2% attention to detail!

The older I get, the better I was ;)

I think the leaflet looks good.
And I don't see the problem with having a picture of a squeegee, most people would associate that with window cleaning.
Also most customers don't care how you clean their windows (wfp or traditional) as long as you do a good job, so I don't think it's that big a deal.

Thanks for the reply and I do agree with both comments, however your only seeing both front and back straight away, I don't feel there is to much when the leaflet is viewed each side! But thanks for the comments!!
