I would like your imput (good or bad) on my design.

I'm not very good at this sort of thing "yeah, I know it shows" ::)

Any imput will be greatfully recieved. ;)

regards Paul

Hi mate,

The wording seems ok... But I would change the font to something a bit more easily readable.

I agree with Andy that the font needs changing but the rest of it seems straightforward and to the point.
A couple of minor grammatical things.
1) After area, there should be a full stop rather than a comma.
2) There should be a comma between reliable and friendly and also between free and no obligation (I think).

I do not usually say anything about typos but as it is a leaflet that will be going out to the public, I thought I had better mention them.

I like the background image, in my view, makes a better flyer, but yes it may cost more to be printed.

Are you not going to advertise for gutter cleans etc on your leaflet, i;e other services? ;)

 Jase, my thoughts exactly about the background image.  ;)

Still undecided about offering other services............ the wife might get jelous. :o

good, but again a clear modern font, and make sure, Window cleaner is the most clear, you know a headline grabber!

I avoid putting the words "at a competitive price" on leaflets, from my previous experiences this brings in the calls from those looking for a cheaper service, something I am sure you want to avoid.

 A good point, any sugestions for anything to put in it's place. ???

 Nobody gets a discount ............ I'm too tight for that.  ;D

 There is no we ............ it's only me.  ;)

 Good point, thanks ;)

Agree with this sentiment completely. We daren't put "reassuringly expensive" but wouldn't mind giving the impression either!

"Do you need a window cleaner?" would do well at the top. It is the attention grabbing headline that potential customers see first.

On a good note you have a home/office number on the flyer: this is definitely a good thing since it will give customers a good impression of you. They will feel if you are confident enough to give them your details that you may well be around further down the line.

Also, if you do offer other services (ie guttering, PVC cleaning) do mention them. Many w/c's do not offer this and you could well hook some well paying one off work.

Hop this helps,
Ben


 I will try it this way around and see how it looks, cheers Ben :)


 Thanks to everyone who took the time to pass comment on my flyer, your imput has been greatfully recieved. Whe I have made all the relevent changes I'll upload a new image for your scrutiny. ;) ;)

Just a thought but what about the method you are going to use
water fed pole /or trad
if trad you could put something like ladders still used
if you are already on the pole
maybe something like latest cleaning methods use  ;)

There are a couple of simple rules to follow with leaflet’s/ flyers.

Lots of white space: Don’t make it look cluttered

Simple fonts: Easy to read easy on the eye

The advertising acronym A.I..D.A:

ATTENTION  Should command Attention (DO YOU NEED A WINDOW CLEANER) Having your name blasted across the top wont mean a thing unless you are a large company like M&S etc.

INTEREST Words or illustrations that lead to interest in the product (PURE WATER WFP etc)

DESIRE: The desire to use your product or service. Spell out the benefits of your service.Your USP (Unique Selling Point)

ACTION: All the info available for the customer to contact you, name, tel no’s, email, www etc.
