[andy east sussex]

because my company name is reliable window cleaning

NO way on the prices, every house is different, and you do not want to put your hourly rate on there lol

Just some tips, just take em in, I'm not having a go, or trying to be harsh. -->

I wouldn't put it on to be honest with you. If I were a customer I'd like to see a nice simple clean van, just with 2 or 3 signs on it. and I would decide on whether you'd be reliable or not. If I would be a customer I'd not care about having that on your van. Wouldn't mean anything to me.

Just the name of the company, (I would go for something sounding more professional then 'reliable window cleaning'.....that just is a bit meh, I dunno. Don't want to come over too harsh)

Maybe AES Window Cleaning hehe, (Andy east Sussex window cleaning)) Under that : 'Domestic and commercial window cleaning' Get a professional logo made, so it looks the business.

Telephone number, mobile and land line, + email

Another sign ; your area that you work in. That's it, nothing more. It would be too much. I've seen vans, also on here I'm afraid which are just way too much, if I see them, I just laugh. Looks amateuristic in my opinion, bit too pushy.

As has been said i don't like the idea of having the prices on van because every house is different!!

I also think keep it simple.I think the logo is a must.But i think all this is rather pointless if the van is a heap.A tidy van is a must.
Basically,as a printer told me its just three things
1.who you are
2.what you do
3.contact number
Any much more than that is over the top and tends to look tacky.
As regard to signwrighting,i think its worth paying a bit more and getting quality,as people and pertential customers will judge you by it.I have seen some vans and the wording is appalling.I know it probably sounds pretentious,but try and appear bigger than what you actually might be,this could get you more lucrative work.

Andy,

I reckon it's a terrible thing to do.

Sorry, mate; don't do it.

Hi Andy.

No way mate, you put a starting price of say £10.00, you turn up & quote £25.00, they aint going to be happy. Your going to be justifying the increase all the time.

You would have to change your van every year when you wanted price rises    .
Seriously though, I don't think it's a good idea either to put the prices on there.

Agree.  Keep it simple.  If you try to be too clever it can create the opposite effect.

Does anyone remember that picture of a van here that had 'Ladderless window cleaning' emblasoned accross the side.

The funny thing is there were at least two sets of ladders strapped to the roof.

It looked stooopid!

Would you really want your competition knowing your pricing structure??? Dont put it on the van and keep them guessing!
