Hi Callum,heres a pic of mine,Gaz

The simpler the better, make it as large as possible and make sure your phone number stands out, but make sure it is a landline number and not just a mobile, then people know what area you are from. 

For some reason mobiles are always associated with dodgy dealers, a landline instills confidence and credibility.  the same with 0800 numbers they are associated with national companies and are percieved as impersonal.

Gaz - I like your logo, very good.

Same here Gary,i can always be contacted on my mobile,how can i talk to someone if im at work and they phone my house number i do have an answering machine but i find most people wont leave a message,may be a few years ago mobiles were associated with "dodgy dealers"  ,but now a days who hasn`t got a mobile,Gaz

I have my home phone No. clearly marked on my van, and my mobile.
If they ring my home phone and no-one answers, the answer message gives them my mobile No.
It works good.  Some don't like talking to answer phones so they ring my mobile.

But, sadly so far...No-one has phoned from my van writing.  I think Van signs are mainly subliminal.  They give you an identity, make you look like a legit business, but that is about it.
Mind you, once you' ve spent out on van signs, from then on free advertising, wherever you are.  So, not a waste of money if you can afford it, better than the unmarked..."White van man".

Okay I may have been somewhat hasty in what I said last night , I think I was just getting onto my second bottle of Shiraz.  Apologies to those, they all look good.

I've tried posting a picture of one of our vans but I must be doing something wrong, can somebody explain how to do it.

Cheers

I agree with you guys - home and mobile works well.  Round here if its just mobile they think your travellers.

[ronaldo]

And also i forgot to say i have had loads of work from people ringing the numbers off the truck.

[callum macleod]

hi thanks for your input good job i asked as i was not going to put a landline on their! i've quoted around the £150 mark for my signage which includes front back and both sides is this what i should expect to pay?

[callum macleod]

hi the 4x4 you use do you have a water system in it as i was looking to find a vehicle to use for personal use as well as work ?

[ronaldo]

Hi Callum, yes theres a water system in the back. Had this motor for 3 years now it was purchased for two reasons the first was i can carry 5 adults inside and my escort van could only carry two so it was only ever any good as a working vehicle. And secondly because of its carrying ability 1200kg and the van was only 500kg. Now i have the best of both worlds a great car for the family and a fantastic workhorse that shoud last me for years. And on the price you said of 150 for your signwriting that sounds about cock on.

Have you got a picture of the set up in the back of your pickup?

[ray l]

Hi , it,s becoming more common to just put a mobile on as people come to realise they can reach you that way.
I put mobile and landline on
 (theres no real extra cost when your getting the van signed anyway)
and they can decide themselfs which way they want to contact you.
