How much did you have to pay Jimmy five belly's to use his picture?

Seriously though, I like it. Not in my taste necessarily but it is very eyecatching without looking corny which is a difficult style to achieve.

Steve, I think you spoil it.

 it has a nice theme then it looks like you've just plonked yourself next to it, you need to dress the part, perhaps with a pointy hat and cloak.

also you need to be looking directly at the camera ( and smiling) so it looks like you are looking out from the van.

put this picture on your mantel and you'll keep the kids away from the fire ;D

As Mike says you need to be a bit more done up and looking at the camera as if to say hello.

PS Mike you've started something now

also ;) ;)

if I saw that as I was walking past and wanted a carpet cleaner I would look in the Y/Ps for ( or search on the internet) 'carpet cleaning wizard'

you need to bring your name into the design more.

how about  having a carpet wand in one hand and a magic wand in the other

Mike

ps although I'm saying all this I do like the idea, and like as already been said, it will be very noticeable

If you are going to put your picture on your van remember you are not trying to do a photo-shoot for playgirl,

 nobody cares that you are a fat, ugly git ;D ;D

all they care about is 'would I trust that man to come into my home'

look professional & smile, that all it takes.

I doubt the prowler will meqn much to anyone. I agree with Mike. A nice friendly smile looking at the camera with your wand in your hands whilst you stoke it up and down the carpet making it damp.

DON`T MENTION VANISH !!!!!I think all the van would look better as a cartoon, with no real picture, but looks catchy.

Don't know why but from your posts and the few emails you have sent I would have pictured you as a moody ante hero type, maybe something along the lines of Dirk Gently from the Hitchhiker Galaxy series from Douglas Adams.

Why don't you put a picture of Keano nutting Shearer on your van. Will get one half of the North East loving you and put a smile on your face every time you get into your van in the morning

No matter what the lads may think of your photo,.. having a picture of yourself in ANY of your advertising will increase the number of calls you get. People like to know what the guy on the other end of the phone line looks like.
