I've only had mine written for 3 weeks but I've had nothing from it directly.  However, there is no way of knowing if my turning up in a signwritten van to quote has got me any recent jobs or not.  I suppose if someone was wavering due to some stereotypical image of a W/C then a signwritten van may have swung it.
I have had one job due to having a signwritten T-shirt though   ;D

sign writting a van has got to help get more business, i still get from people now "i have been looking for a window cleaner for ages" they they live 2 doors down from where we clean and have done for years d'oh they must have had 3 knocks and 50 leaflets in that time...Crazy  ::)

did a search on google for magnetic care signs, they are cheap to I was suprised aswell how cheap they are.

have a look:

If you have a van go for sign writting instead of magnetic signs as looks so much more professional IMO

I cant remember where I got them from the details are in last years accounts with the accountant and I havent a link. However there are loads out there and they are well worth it.

well, iive had my van sign written for a year, i would say ive had about 5 calls from it lol!!

BUT

sooooooo many people come up to me and ask when im passing or in a street, its easy to see what i am and what i do. i also have t shirts, people always ask me, "what is a ladderless widow cleaner?" which starts a good conversation and usually gets me the buisness







im nto meaning to blow my own trumpet. but i think my image looks very good. beats any old car and people with their scruffs on!

window cleaning is how i live, i might aswel make a super job of it. what i have put in, is now coming back  :)

Bit bright for me. Is that water on your t-shirt or has a bird done a big dollop

i like that... and the ladderless bit....

i was afraid of doing something like that as i wasnt sure how people would react to wfp ... and i didnt  want wfp to be advertised alone like that.... maybe its me.... i may not be as astute....

i may have my van sign written with window cleaner being very prominant... and then something like... " we also use the pure water, reach and wash system"

whats your view?

Cheers,

Gary.
