email if you want a look rich
glad you saved it mike, only owe you about 30 more ideas and we're quits.
decided to remove it.
to many ghosts.

Dereks probably removed it due to gwcs saying he was going to copy it without asking first

but luckily I saved a copy, so who would like to see it again

only joking  

oh right blame me..

If you put something up you HAVE to expect people to use it in any form.

The poster even admitted themselves that they copy was taken from "cleansmart" which i assume was a free marketing material piece? and as such will no doubt would have been duplicated many times over by anyone who had access to it. So i guess your right i should have requested permission from cleansmart  :

yes the backs empty. understand where your coming from but in my defence, i have one message and stuff on the back may or may not take the attention away from that message, i get work from it so i'm happy. maybe i'll try one with something on the back but at the mo it will suffice. and mike, i thought it might be better with the attention on the first line being more outstanding but it was to late by then, when these have gone i will get mark to emphasize this more, maybe if you get time you could show me what you mean and email it back to me don't ask ya don't get. lol

yes mark at dp redisigned my art work, (top man)  and the wording all though slightly changed was from cleansmart.


derek

Far too much wording for my liking - and like many others would , I have chosen to modify it in such a way is actually different from the piece posted and for a different cleaning aspect too.

nothing to do with gwcs. just didn't want tom dick and harry getting it.

I just staple one of these cards from vistaprint to my leaflet and stick 10-15 around the neighbours houses...

[Steve Chapman]

Personally i think you should be careful giving out customers addresses to other clients with out asking them first, it's a bit of an invasion of their privacy.

I certainly wouldnt want a tradesman telling half the road what work I've just had done.

It would be ok to say one of your neighbours, but i dont think i would put down their number unless i had thier express permission to do so, and i dont think many of my customers would give it .

i ask every time and so far not had a no. in fact most of my custys think its a great idea.

Yep like Derek I always ask and am very rarely refused permission! I sent out about 15 last week and got a job worth £140. She had asked her neighbour what I was like and if I had done a good job. £140 job for a few minutes walk!

[garyfindlay]

I booked in a job and the wifey told me I had a leather suite to clean across the road, IF I did a good job of her cleaning. Neighbours often talk and tell each other about jobs/people they are getting in. Any one else give me an example of a neighbour nudger?

[Jim_77]

Is it just me or can anyone else not see Dereks neighbour nudger?  Where is it? 

Fraser

You've probably turned it over the wrong way

Know what you mean Derek but obviously the next question is..... why not use a piece of paper half the size and use both sides?!!  Of course it works how it is, the message is there it makes no odds, just curious as to why

[clinton]

John

That sounds good with the nudger..

Also hows the website working with your video you finding its bringing in more work

cheers

[Ian Gourlay]

Joe you are ment to leave them a bottle of stain remover.

This helps to keep the suppliers in business

Seriously does this idea work time and time and again to justify ordering 200 bottles on a regular basis

[derek west]

i do my own bottles and labels and use m/s 1 to 6 in it, works out about 80p all in. give these for free with every clean and free refills if they use us anually.

i also use the same bottle for my quotes and make sure i remove a couple of stains while there watching, a wow when i get the stain out, and when i tell them they get a free bottle after the clean i usually get the job.

its all about what you can give in return for there hard earned money.

[Jim_77]

That sounds like a good plan mate... where do you get your spotters from?

[derek west]

Solutions do the whole lot, so does Alltec, Cleansmart, Restormate and probably more.

[wayne zabel]

Again excuse my ignorance - you use the diluted M/s as a spotter then? I hope these dont sound like daft questions,I get a bit confused still
