new name for the NCCA
« on: August 14, 2009, 11:02:55 pm »
if you were to set up a rival to the NCCA, what would you call it.

ACCA

"approved carpet cleaners association" is my idea, anyone else

and while i'm hear dreaming and bored waiting for the misses to lose 9lb in 1 hour, (giving birth for those that don't know she's preggars and 5 days over due)

if you saw the ACCA advertised on television with lets say, dale winton doing the advert, saying how great acca members were and "yarda yarda yarda" posters on bus stops, in the national press etc.....
how much would you pay to join.
theres a lot that pay £200 to join the ncca for not much really so would it be worth £1000 a year?
or what about £1000 membership then £20 a week from then on.
its not a lot of money when you think about the benefits, easier to turn the quotes into a job, harder for the cheap boys to do business, you'd also get referals from the ACCA website, "as advertised on tv" ;)
tv advertising, full back up with insurance etc... discounts from leading distributers on chems, yearly training.

a fair few years ago, some cc's had an idea, an idea to start the NCCA, it did well and prospered, but then somehow lost its way.

why can't a few of us get together and start the ACCA, with fresh new ideas, a none (direct) profit association to rid the uk of cheap cc's, to give trust back to the ordinary housewife in our profession. to make the ACCA a household name like corgi, and cilic bang ;D

friends, carpet cleaners, gentleman, it is time, time to stand together, to make our voices heard. to put carpet cleaners on the map, to share with the world, the pride we have in our work.
 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

dya know, i make a joke but deep down, i think with some dedication and belief, this could actually work.

200 members, £200,000, plus £16000 a month, and as soon as the tv adverts go out, expect another 200 to join straight away, giving a first annual t/o of around 3 quarters of a million.
a cleaning protocol with minimum standard equipment, yes porti's are welcome.
job satisfaction sheets for the custy.
members 3 strikes and your out.

anyway. bed time, or at least, coffee and a ciggie.

Remember it well mate, staying sober for the signs when overdue......

All the best,
Jason.

The NCCA generate more money than just the annual fee there's the training money which is a big earner for those in the know ;)

200 members at a grand, for national TV ad campaign, free annual training, Xmas bash of all Xmas bashes :o. etc
Think you might run a little tight on funds & underestimate what is involved in setting something like this up

200 grand plus 16k a month plus another 200 when the adds come out, no problem elliot. tv advertising isn't that much.
and with £750,000 turnover in the first year, i'm sure that will cover the xmas party on top
maths not your strong point?

Your suddenly changing the numbers Derek, and why only an extra 200 members once the adds are rolling. An extra 400 would give a cool million plus to play with.   Remember your adds would be wasted at 2am on channel 5 when "advertising isn't that much".
Maths, not my strong point?  Maybe not, I get number crunchers to do that for me.  Only specialise in business projections

Yes Derek, either the Modify button has been brought into action or more likely your initial post was so rambling that I lost concentration half way through ;)
Either way, tell me how are you going to get the initial 200 suckers to part with their grand & how much is that going to cost you.  Pessimistic that you will find that sort of number just by announcing it on the forums.    Do NCCA members get a discount as they have already had to put their hands in their pockets & shell out for that ??? ;)
