It scares me, and I'm no spring chicken, ha ha

[Mike Halliday]

jealousy rears its ugly head : :

I'm the 3rd best looking carpet cleaner in the UK and you lot can't stand it

the only scary thing about my ad is the obscene amount of money it makes me!

booked my first job today off the new book ( its been out a week) but some will still be using the old one : 

it was a 3pc @ £130 and they chose to have their kitchen cleaned for free, I was the only company they called

mike....who has been telling you lies again??

[Neil Grainger]

Who's Secound then because I'm first- I understand that the top two places need to be taken by people that have hair

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Have you noticed that Mike has been saying this for years, it's one of his marketing jests, people always ask who th eother 2 are!

Shaun

[spindle]

well i have all my own hair does that count


well if he is 3rd.........................doesnt say much for the rest of us does it!

[Jason Hedges]

Nice ad Mike thanks for sharing, very true YOU are good looking

[Mr Dvae]

Hi Mike

Hope u dont mind me asking, but how much business would you expect from this advert??

Regards

Dave

[Mike Halliday]

12ish grand would be about right ( cost of ad 2)

I've forgot to say this advert is nearly an exact copy of my leaflet so I get a lot of people calling me from the Y/Ps who tell me they received my leaflet loads of times, that why they called me

Mike

I had the same leaflet made up as Mikes which he gave me the last time I saw him.His January offer leaflet was a winner so I cannot see why this one will not work either, people love the word "free"

I used to have a double column by 2.5" deep. cost about 1100.
Last year I had a single column by same depth and it has not made any difference at all to the response.
When I put a photograph of me instead of a cartoon the response went up by 35%. The small ad pays for itself in about 3 weeks (thats profit not turnover)

C+++ D++++ always have a cheesey picture as it works. One of our locals include their 6 month old baby.

The local rep said that a big ad can frighten custs off.

Thanks Mike, i've heard that yp usually brings in about 5 fold.

What makes an advert more successful?
Selling quality of clean or leading the customer into thinking they're getting a really good deal ie making them think they're gonna get a bargain if they phone you...?

[Mike Halliday]

or leading the customer into thinking they're getting a really good deal ie making them think they're gonna get a bargain if they phone you...?

[spindle]

[stuart_clark]

Hi mike ! is that a picture of your good self in your yp advert or is it ur Dad ?

[Ian Rochester]

I'm sure I remember a while ago you claiming to be the 2nd best looking carpet cleaner out there, but I think that was before you knew I was around!!!

The only way for you now is DOWN!!
