Hi John
I understand what you saying concerning the advertising of water fed pole manufactures on the side of the vans that they sell with a full package. But there are advantages to this.
If you purchase a full package from us the van will come with a 3/4-vehicle wrap but with your company name a logo incorporated with it. Our aim is to make your company look bigger than it actually is working off the concept2o corporate branding.
It works along the same lines as the McDonalds chain. McDonalds actually only owns a few restaurants worldwide all the other restaurants are privately owned. But you know that if you were to eat in a McDonalds restaurant in Scotland you will get the same food and service as you would in London, Wales or any other place in the world.
We wanted to achieve something similar with window cleaners who want to make the change over to water fed pole systems. By using the concept2o brand name and having a vehicle wrapped, it stands out above all the rest of thousands of other sign written van on the roads (much the same as sky vans). When a potential customer sees a number of these vans on the road it will appear that your company is much larger enabling you to take advantage of work and contracts previously reserved for multi vehicle based operations. It basically serves to build faith that potential customers are dealing with an experienced company.
When anyone purchases a concept2o system, they receive full training on residential or commercial work, whichever most suits the type of work they have. This not only insures that the window cleaner will get the most out of there investment but will also mean that customers will know anyone using a concept2o system are fully trained and they can expect the same high quality of service wherever they are in the country.
As well as the concept2o branding your company details and logo will be on the bonnet, front doors and rear doors. If you have not already had a company logo designed, our team of designers can work with you to come up with a design that you are happy with.
The full package option is available so that we can make the change over to pure water window cleaning as stress free as possible, it includes a concept2o system size that bests suits your work, fitting, 18ft glass fibre pole, 30ft glass fibre pole, waterproof vehicle lining, explanation leaflets for your customers, branded uniforms, access to reduced insurance premiums for vehicle, employers and public liability, palmtop computer with George program and 1 years free replacement running costs.
Some would argue that purchasing a system from a manufacturer is not a good idea as there is the question of extra cost. The truth is a matter of simple economics. If a manufacturer were to sell equipment at just above cost they would of course make some money on the sale, however the equipment that we provide is designed to become your primary source of income, window cleaners all over the UK and indeed some in Europe already rely on their concept2o systems to feed their family and pay their bills. So what happens if for any reason backup, advice and call outs are required? If a manufacturer does not budget for these additional costs will he/she be willing to do all that is required to get you up and running again as fast as possible if these additional costs were not covered?
If you have any other further questions or would like a demonstration please do not hesitate to contact us or Mike Boxall at Express Cleaning Supplies.
