Window Cleaning Subject Christmas Cards
« on: September 14, 2005, 05:36:41 pm »
I know it's only September, but you just know that once the bar-b-cue section of your local Tescos (Sainsbury's for Graham) has sold their wares at sale prices that the shelves will shortly be stocked with Christmas items (reserving some space for Haloween).

What I'm saying is, Christmas is just round the corner with only 105 shopping days left till Christmas.

So does anyone know of a decent, and when I say 'decent' I mean 'cheap', Christmas card supplier who can provide a window cleaning related card?

Tosh,

I just buy blanks and get the Mrs to print the insides with a personal message for each commercial client.

She does this on the home printer as it will take up to a 165 gsm card.  Once it has ben set up in Powerpoint (or similar) you just alter the clients name each time - easy peasy  and a lot cheaper than getting them printed.

Matt we do the same for residential customers - works a treat for tips does'nt it !!!

Matt,

I'm not too different.  I just posted a 'cheapo' card as I went round my round, starting in December.

I don't do it to get tips; just for good customer relations.  I think it makes the customer realise we're not just 'another bill'.  We're real people too.

Recently I had a 'flyer' through my door and it had loads of examples, such as office cleaning or removals.  Funny cards with the related business included in the art work.

But none for window cleaning.  

You'd think some of the window-cleaning suppy shops would get some!!  Hint hint!

funny thing, the year B4 i put them in i had a fair few, the year i used the "christmas greeting" i got hardly any

i allways get a tin of choc's and a card for my comercail customers ;) the girls in the office like them ;) thus any problem with my money, they allways sort it out that day
