Van Sign writing ?
« on: June 08, 2016, 08:08:09 pm »
Hello All,

As a few of you may know, I lost my van to an electrical fault a few weeks ago.

My question to you all is how I should sign my new van.

I only deal with commercial contracts and biggest profits come from commercial carpet cleaning. But
I also offer window cleaning, pressure cleaning, hard floors, emergency cleans, bio fogging and many more.

With the new van sign writing should I just push the carpet cleaning or put all my services on the van. Will it lose an impact with to many services on offer?

Thanks in advance

Warwick

what van do you have?

having just had the vans done with very limited information just the one service, i regret not adding more. perhaps a middle ground, but it's hard when you offer a variety of services.

I feel the back would be a good place to detail more what you do and the sides to get attention

Best sign I know is "no tools left in van over night" big reason why people put this on work vans

 I like Laura Ashley  & Aga vans, they have nothing but the name in the middle of the side..... no phone number or address just ...... 'Laura Ashley'  or 'Aga'

Basically they are saying.........we are  so famous we don't need to say what we do or where we are from.

my last van was plastered with words, far far too much.............  folks cant take it all in. My new bigger van has a very simple message in large letters who i am what  ido where you can ring me. I feel its much better, less is more.......

Its a hard one if you offer many services.
We had the same dilemma some time ago and due to majority of work in commercial world decided for ''simple is less''. 
Its easy to overdo the van - some of the  designs with text fitted on every part of the car are  in my opinion awful and a message to potential customer totally lost.
After two years of using the design below we will be adding some basic listing only on the back of new vans.
Thats following on some domestic customers opinions current design ''has not been informative enough''.
