I'm finding it the same as I always do slow, still working every day but sometimes home for dinner.

just getting some reminder cards printed, normally i rely on leaflet to remind existing customer but looking through my diary there are a few recommend who don't live in my leaflet area so I'm going to send them a card.

this is the proof I've made a few alterations but the look is the same

Sorry to point this out, but scheduel is spelled "schedule".  It's on the back of the card.

thanks Colin, nice to see someone was paying attention ;)

BUT!!do you think if this postcard went out to existing customers they would think .....

"I need my suite cleaning again, he did a great job last time but he's spelt qualify wrong so I'm not going to call him"

My mate chucked out 20k leaflets because he put suit instead of suite, and he was skint, I said put them out.

Here's an "Uncle Albert" story as my wife calls them....

When I was based out in Hong Kong, our Chief Diver got an embroidery firm to knock up some blue t-shirts with the Royal Navy Divers emblem with the words "Hong Kong Clearance Divers" When they arrived, every one of them had "Hong Kong Clarence Divers".

Fortunately they managed to sell them all to the locals who obviously couldn't read English...

Probably not,  but it's a bit like cleaning, better to get it right first time if you can, especially if you are having another batch printed and others are going to copy them.

Certainly would not throw out 20,000 leaflets.


Mike,
Sorry, just a couple more: powerwash drive needs to be - powerwash drives,  sometime to some time.

Mis-spellings on a forum like this are fine, no bother, but printed promotional material with your company's name on should, I feel, use correct grammar and spelling.  

If anyone has not got a spell checker or word type program, you can download an excellent product for free, from:

http://download.openoffice.org/
It's called Open Office 3.0  - It has 6 separate applications: Text - Presentation - Database - Spreadsheet - Drawing & Formula.

As I said, it's a great package and it's  FREE .  Hope that helps.
