Hi

I recently bought the omnivac- still coming to terms with the best method, but wouldnt part with it.

Currently operating mainly to the domestic market
What price can you put on your safety,
in the long term looking for a huge return on my investment, will be marketing the commercial market in the near future.

Find myself when stuck in traffic looking at the various gardens people have grown in there gutters- plenty of work out there. 
Now looking to canvass commercial market............has anyone produced a flyer since purchasing  the system


Regards
Billy

Billy don't bother with cold calling or leaflets, lot of effort for little return, put a page on your website and the calls will start coming in  ;)

Kev,

What I can't get my head round is if you have not got the time to source the bits, why sit on here banging on about omnivac's all the time.

No worries.

I have a big ad in yellow pages - two on yell.com and I have my website. I use google adwords from time to time but less often nowadays, however it was good when I was actively seeking work.

You can use 40m of 2.5 cable - They are hard to buy off the shelf like that. So adapted a standard extension reel.

I did LOL

You know I had no idea I needed a bigger cable/fuse until I was doing a commercial job and when I started winding the cable back in (standard extension) It felt very hot. I casually asked my mate and he sorted it for me.

did adwords work well for you, i havent had much luck, but i have had a few calls from ppc companies asking if they can manage my adwords account but they want you to spend £500 a month and give them 10% of spend!!

I did the basic automatic job on a £1 a day budget advertising locally only, not on the content network. I use it when I want more work for wfp or gutter work. You dont get loads of clicks but some have been excellent quality. We ask all our new customers where they got our details and most are from YP, Yell, adwords or the website.

I think you know what I mean Kev! They may not cover all the way down were you are but they certainly have a very big 'patch' for themselves in more than one market. And from what I can see that stabs a proportion of its customers in the back.

If you sold a man a knife and fork but then stole his bread would that be fair or good business?

Pro
Are you making the accusation that I have ever taken anybodies work?

I have been involved in Window Cleaning for 31 years
Graffiti Removal for 24 years
and Gutter Cleaning since 2001
I have never knowingly taken anybodies work.  have passed on hundreds of jobs to Omnipole customers.
I take exception that you make a veiled accusation that I would ever consider taking work from any one let alone an Omnipole customer.

Whats realy interesting is you dont give a location to where you are - no email no indication at all - what are you worried about?
