The order was pulled I'm afraid and we have had to re-submit using the same Co. name throughout. I have chosen "carpet & upholstery cleaners". Everyuthing esle will remain specific to you  (address, tel no. and website.

Its been uploaded into the system today and having asked for a live date the best they can do is the 26th jun.

On a positive note, I got 11 calls from it on Friday (my record)

Have put on here as I can't be bothered to email everyone individually. Started work at 5am today and only just got in.

If anyone wants to ask me anything about it then please leave it until tomorrow as I'm exhausted.

Hi Pete

Glad to see things have picked up on your marketing.

At your age a 14 hour day should be a walk in the park ;)

Speak to you soon.

Cheers

Doug

That's very disappointing Pete, I wish you could have been bothered to tell us sooner, it's pretty much a waste of money for me(for which I still don't have a receipt) I've spent thousands building up a corporate image  here :( with vehicle wraps, letterheads etc - now I look like the new boy-definitely not a good idea in this area. :(

Just read your post Dave

I only just found out about this myself and will not be issuing reciepts until it goes live as I mysllf will not be getting one until it does. Sorry you feel this way after all the work I have put in.

Do you want to cancel yours because I can do that any time before it goes live and that goes for anyone else for that matter?

The Co. name issue is nothing because if someone is looking at your entry they will click through to your website and see all your branding.

Let me know and I will send you a cheque back by return.

Pete, I do appreciate all the work you put in, I just think you should have told us when this blip occured, not after. I also understand your point about names but as I've said before this is a strange area with very strong local ties, people are often looking for that van they saw last week and missed the tel no or that chap mrs x recommended but who's name they couldn't quite remember. If you can cancel my portion and refund it it would be appreciated and go towards paying yell direct. I'm glad you've made the offer and I hope we won't fall out over this.

Would have been nice to have my name in place but not overly disappointed.
Paying considerably less than half the cost if I'd set it up myself, plus a good link from a good wesbite to my own website.

Pete no probs here, im happy to go with it.
You have done a lot of work on this to save us a load of doe and get a good position, so from me thanks.

I have no issue with not having my name on top as they will be directed to my web site any way, and at the end of the day its the phone call we want anyway to start the process off and this will do just that.
