Did you view the correct website?

[Rob_Mac]

Looking at your website - on the garage floor sealing page - is that you in the wide jeans???

Rob

[chris scott]

Don't know him ...Smartseal provided all the pics and text.

[Rob_Mac]

I wont be wanting a Smartseal website.

How old are you Chris?

Rob

[chris scott]

45

[Rob_Mac]

We could be twins Chris. Same attitude, working principles, go getters - I just need to work out what I have done wrong that I am not already retired!

Rob

[chris scott]

Why have you done anything wrong?
You are fit  ,healthy ,
Possibily a beautiful wife/kids/boyfriend ?   
You seem to have a sense of humor,
A new pick up,
You have the machineary to knock a couple of doors tommorrow and get enough money to feed the family.
Whats wrong with that ...what more do you really need?

[Rob_Mac]

Boyfriend, boyfriend - I don't mind what anyone gets up to but that isn't for me Chris!!!

Retirement!

Rob

[chris scott]

Sorry you just have to be open minded sometimes. I have two gay couples that i clean for money is no object ,never try to chip on on price ..don't knock the pink pound thats what i say.
Maybe there is a site to advertise  www.Get-a gay.com   Vetted contractors for the gay community.

Lancashire council do a site called safetrader (i think it's called that) a lot of older people use it as it is run by the trading standards from what i recall.
It MIGHT be a better investment for your advertising budjet if there is a similar scheme near to you.
I think it was relatively cheap/free  to join .

I cleaned the Sainsbury's at Southport and I believe there is a bit of money up your way. I may well do a leaflet campaign around your town!

Rob

[chris scott]

I can put you in touch with my "leaflet lady" £30 per thousand   , local printer will do 40,000 leaflet for £410 single side full colour.
Plenty of big houses and gays in Southport.

[Rob_Mac]

How many are you putting out, what return are you getting?

Rob

[chris scott]

10,000 a month , get about 3 jobs per thousand spring ,2 per thou summer (rough guide) You will then get one job "in the street" from word of mouth/family/passing trade/neighbour.
Please bear in mind there is no science to this...these are very rough averages.

[Rob_Mac]

Are they all Smartseal leaflets as well?

Rob

[chris scott]

No smartseal on the leaflets. I dont promote the use of acrylic sealers . If smartseal send me a lead and the customer requests it i will use it.
Same applies to  Pics, Resiblock, Advanced sealing solutions. I am also an "approved contractor" for all of these companies as well.

Why did you go with that route - I am interested because (and I am not trying to fall out) the website is not brilliant and you are restricted to their products.

My website was possibly the same price and I can change it when I want, use whatever equipment and or products I want.

Do you have google analytics set up on it - do you know how it is working for you, what searches people are putting in when on the site, where they are going, how long they are on there, page views etc.

The website is not "technically " brilliant but smart seal do a very good job on the SEO etc and its'ok for granny who needs her patio cleaning. It has pretty pics something to read and contact details.....i'm not trying to sell rolls royces!!!
I like you can choose what product and equipment i use. I am a fair man and if Smartseal give me a lead i would use there products.
On average the site receives 5000/6000 hits per month but as i have said these figures are all pretty meaningless....it's jobs that count.

[Rob_Mac]

I don't believe that you are getting 5/6000 hits per month and not managing to convert some of those into sales.

Where does that figure come from?
