Hi,

If the project comes together as well as the intent behind it, then it could be very exciting.  You would undoubtedly get suppliers advertising in it (we would, definitely) as long as it doesn't become another blatant propaganda machine for one company!. For it to have a wider audience and a greater chance of success, it may be an idea to consider carpet cleaning and gutter cleaning sections also.  As these trades are quite often linked to the window cleaning world it could also add to the number of subscribers/advertisers.

The other company would need some involvement or presencce.You can't pretend they don't exist they are a big and positive part of the industry. Since the other mag started things have moved on and there is a lot more totake peoples interest whether it's some of the larger than life npersonalities or reviews of some great kit.
I have to be honest I was always a bit off with Phil, mainly because I found his posts too long and tedious. What I like is short sharp snappy and interesting. As foxman says with possible asrticles on pressure washing, gutter vacs, door knocking, commercial work.... then carpet machines  on abd on, it could be a must read.

What about jokes? Can anyone draw cartoons?
Howq about a man and a van WFP'oler,(a character who's an exageratted version of us) who either has a one frame joke or a shortthree frame  strip in each edition.

I did try to get my sis inlaw to do a photo shoot for me as she a model  but she laughed thinking I was joking, I thought bikini with window washers on would look great, she thought not, will keep trying on that one

And a brain teaser (courtesy lj thorpe) . I got locked into the customers back garden by accident, how did i get out?
(that's not a dig i thought the solution  was quite clever)

[Clive McDonald]

The sis in law would be a great front page ww, what's new (small insert pic of my electic reel), what's hot (small insert of nathans system), what's good (jeffb's water frugality) what's bad (overlaiden van) And dangerous to know! (insert pic of frontpage first edition with sis plus inserts etc,

Inside letter from the editor, hi this has been a long time coming a completly independant mag for all cleaners that highlights all that's best and most interesting in our industry. Read about all the stuff, see reviews......

Article; It pays to invest

Possible title for mag.

The Trade Magazine for All Window Cleaners or (Professional Cleaners)
(We here to Help and Advise, not to SELL)

[TennetClean]

"The Cobbler"

Sorry I haven't kept up with it all tonight as I had to go out.  Discount if by the other company you mean ionics (you can say their name!) then of course they will be welcome to be involved. As I said in earlier posts all suppliers and window cleaning related companies will be equally welcome to submit material and all suppliers will be welcome to submit products for review but they must understand that their products will all be tested on individual merit so if their product isn't up to scratch we will say but equally when a product is good we will tell you regardless of it's origin.

While I am happy to include features on carpet cleaning etc the only worry I have is I personally don't know much about carpet cleaning, but, if we could find someone to assist with that area then maybe it could become a regular feature.
The gutter cleaning , fascias and upvc cleaning will all be covered. Ps we will be in touch foxman about the advertising, which supplier are you if you dont mind me asking?

design wise quark express is a good idea
as for prices
you can make it as cheap or as dear as you want
well as dear anyway :
if you can find a 4 col jobbing printer who needs some regular work you would be suprised how cheap it can be

"PanesWorld"  
 "TheView"
 "Clear"
as banners with a sub heading under like
"THE pro window cleaners mag"
or something


maybe not

[TennetClean]

Can I put an article about window cleaning on council estates in?  I think that would go down well.

There's still no icing on tennets cake!!  

It would be good to see another mag. It's hard not to be dubious about it though cos philip hanson attempted the same thing and he's a clever chap.
I enjoyed reading the ionics mag that came yesterday.

We are currently obtaining quotes from many suppliers regarding printing although even if we cant find anyone cheaper than we've got  already then we have already found quite good prices. However, LJ Thorpe if you happen to know anyone who might be able to better it then let us know.  Sanity and I will be going over the finer details over the next few days and will then know the exact cover price and advertising rates etc. We will also start to look at content and will start asking for the submissions. The next stage will then be to get the 1st issue ready to print. It is a case of when not if and we hope it won't be too long (poss in the next 2 months).
