hey everyone, getting some budget signage done for me van and was wondering what you thought, the extra jobs will be to the left under each other and bullet pointed

thanks for any comments

[Mike_G]

Maybe a landline phone number

[joe.b]

unfortuanately i cant put one 

[L.J.Thorpe]

how come

[joe.b]

still living at home and never in and cant divert that to mobile

[matt]

looks great, nice a bold

IMHO , in todays world, a mobile in fine, afterall its a phone that some1 can call 24/7, whats better than that

[L.J.Thorpe]

so get an answering machine personally i would not use any tradesman who could only give a mobile as a contact number

[supernova77]

I would change conservatory to conservatories, and patio to patios. I would also space the mobile number i.e. 07930 993095.

thanks mate

[jaykie]

also a landline lets people know what area you live in so if you live down south and travelled up north to buy something people may ring you while your up there lol

I agree with Matt here.  I use mobile only and people love it for just this reason.

Put your name and address on there too.  IMHO it would make it look more bona fide and professional.

i thinks its ok mate as it is 
i can see peoples point about the moblie num. but, like you said thats all you can do.

nice 1 

[Old_Master]

Honestly
I dont think it looks professional.

The van is your shopfront and the better it looks the more attention it will grab and the more customers it will attract.
Not having a landline with the combination of cheap signwritting will put off potential customers.

Its better to have no signwritting  (many subcontractors dont) than to have a negative image.

[joe.b]

thankyou for the comment glyn, how would you put it then?

[alanwilson]

I have to agree with Glyn here - sure, you might be saving a few quid now but look at the bigger picture, your van says so much about you and people are sold on impressions.  We have a very clean and tidy 03 Expert and a really snazzy 07 Transporter T30, for one reason, IMAGE.  Our signwriting cost nearly £1700 between the 2 vans.  I'm not saying this to brag but what I am saying is that it works, by making sure you look good and your van looks good you have an edge over  the rest.  I know it can be tough starting out etc but its a big opportunity for you so make the most of it young man.

I'll have a word with my son to see if he can put a couple of pics up.

Some of us have tighter budgets and older vans!  :

yes i understand that alan but i have not idea how to spice it up without getting to much money, and ideas will be gladly received 

thanks for all the comments so far

[Dean Aspects]

Our signwriting cost nearly £1700 between the 2 vans.

Your signwritting cost nearly as much as my van  

Dean

[joe.b]

his signwriting cost double my van  ahhahha

[alanwilson]

I understand that some are on tighter budgets than others, what I am saying is that you shouldn't scrimp on signwriting, I'm not saying to go ott either (we did, sortof).

Rada what I would recommend is: - get a professional company to do the signage (it won't cost as much as you think)
                                                         make sure the spelling is correct
                                                         split up the mobile number
                                                         include your landline (even include 'after hours call 0xxxxxxxxx)
                                                         make it obvious that windows is your main job.

Hope this helps.

Oh by the way ours cost so much because it glows in the dark - GROOVY!!
