Get a picture like this on your van



Show a dirty carpet and then where the wand is its nice and clean.

Show a sofa.. yada yada..

And the best bit - you have YOUR picture on there showing you doing the job.

I really could not afford to be without the business that  my van brings in. People will not read the literature that you give them but whilst the van is outside their house they cannot fail to see the other range of services we offer.
I would go to a reputable sign writer and ask their advice, go  to a few and see who is talking sense.
Or you could go to uni to do a  graphic design degree, get marketing awareness training and the decide yourself how to sign write your van.
If you want to keep it simple you still need to make it clear what you do and where people can get more info.

I tend to agree with not using babys, pets etc on a van but they seem to work well on sites or so new clients seem to comment on mine .

 didn know Shaun did Vulcan impressions

GWCS , hows the old looking bloke trying to be a Vulcan ?

Dont be so rude to Shaun like that.. 

I was using Shauns pic as an example. Being personable to your prospective customers is the key! They already know what you look like and your name and what you do, just from 1 image.

You pull up outside their house, and it will re affirm them once they open the door to the same person on the van.

The picture of Shaun proves what can happen when you've been around cleaning solutions for too long! You start thinking everyone's say Hi to you

Its a shame you think so highly of yourself..

Some people use this picture on their flyers..



When the window cleaner turns up they are disappointed as they are expecting that guy to show up.

Why cos its personable, shows who you are, and what you do.. in just one picture.

GWCS , might put some pics of the Mrs on my van
cause she spends most of the money

The baby pic needs to tell a story so youd need a headline to put the point across.  On its own there is no point being made.

Logo are the same.

Simon whats that pic of a red man on your van.  Says nothing about carpet cleaning to me.

Interestingly my van isnt sign written at the minute as I just got it but it still attracts attention with the TM.  Problem is people think Im either delivering oil or cleaning drains.

Since I've had me on the van I've bever had so many jobs and enquiries from my signage it's a fantastic talking point, yes I'm bound to say that but I had living proof it would work as my mate Mike Halliday did the same years before I did it. Customers see me on the side of the van and see it as a confidance builder they know who they are getting in one word 'trust'

Shaun

[Simon Gerrard]

Mark,
It's a logo. It isn't meant to say what we do, it's the who we are bit.
If your van isn't sign written you're doing yourself out of business. I've lost count of how many people say we saw your van and rung you. They also think the van looks very professional, which in my opinion it does. Only the other day someone said, 'gosh, your van looks impressive,' and that's mission accomplished as far as I am concerned.

I get asked alot if I belong to a franchise as I come to the job uniformed (had this discussion before) and also a nicely sign written van sets there minds thinking.
