Maybe it's me Mike but I cannot seem to get it to play???

[Mike Halliday]

try it now

[Pristine Clean]

Yes very good video.

Professional voice over. Was that the wife? Or did you pay for that to be done.

Are you going to embed that on your website.

Can you always tell the fibre of the carpet by just a burn test?

How will the client know if you are using only products that the manufactures recomend? What if there was a legal issue?

I just thought Mike had a high pitched voice - didnt want to say anything really.

Good video though.

[Aquakleen Restoration Services]

Nope tried and it seems to upload but wont play. Have tried others and are all fine...very strange...

Try searching on youtube for it?

titled

Henry_Haliday How we clean carpets!


Dave

Actually ignore that as I have just tried it and it does not play! Plays from the link though Mike.

[Atlantic Cleaning]

Works fine for me.

It was so good the missus has asked me to ask you if you would come and clean our carpets 

[Ken Wainwright]

Works fine for me.

A really good video presented in a friendly way. Comes over as a soft sell. very Un-American

If I was to nit pick, I'd agree with dave about manufacturers recommended......... Carpet manufacturers rarely approve any of our chems. Perhaps "Industry Approved" would be a safer turn of phrase?

Safe and happy cleaning
The Ken

PS Who did you give the spare finger to Mike

[Mike Halliday]

listen carefully..... I say  the exact type of cleaning agent.

 I don't say they recommend an exact chemical only a type eg; woolsafe, low Ph, acid based etc

I liked the hoover  scene best,                        

[Mike Osbourne]

Fair play Mike it's a good piece of marketing and that's it. As carpet cleaners we are going to pick holes in the 'technical' details, but it's a marketing video not a training video. It's aimed at potential customers as it should be.

Now you have to decide how you want to use it. If you want people in your 3 miles to find it via the search engines you will need to changes the titles and the tags and do all the things you would do for a website.

With a bit of luck you will get it on the first page of a google search with a thumbnail which immediately draws the eye whatever the position.

I like it but would suggest

1) at 2.02 minutes it looks like the paint is coming of the skirting
2) the guy in the yellow suit looks like a nuclear scientist
3) the sniff test looks dodgy
4) you should say more about the extraction stage and show the truckmount
5) what are you doing with the hoses
6) clean a cream dirty polyprop carpet to show better visual clean effect.

Whats with the zoo van pics?

Good idea and very well filmed.  Was it professionally done?

Mark

[Pristine Clean]

if you look closley at the van its says Henry haliday and son.

So I am assuming that the business CC Van.

At least it gets them looking. Its not a usual picture of a baby.

Dave

[Martin S]

It doesn't play for me, I get the circle in the middle going round and the download bar going across but nothing plays 

[colin thomas]

i'd get rid of the yellow overalls, looks like he's about the clean the drains not the carpet,

colin   

[Colin Day]

I seen a "How clean is your house?" once and the C/C was wearing a pair of wellies and shorts....

It's a good video, very professional looking... At least the prospect can see what they're going to get for their money..... Result!

[Mike Halliday]

Mark thanks for the suggestions, So I should hire the film crew & hotel room again ( including getting the hotel to paint the skirting boards before hand )

the beginning photo is what we use on our leaflet so the technician in the yellow overalls look more in place. we use the picture at the start of the video to tie into our other marketing, same goes for the van its important it is shown as it is part of our marketing strategy.

Mike,
The guy stood next to you in the dayglow coat looks like he is linking arms with you, which makes it look like youv'e collected him from a care centre and your off on a shopping trip. Get him to stand away from you and lose that dayglow.

[gwrightson]

Works fine for me,

and I think it looks both professional and informs the custy exactly the lenghts you go to ,to achieve the best for them.
I did notice one thing missing though Mike, where is Mikes Pint   or has that problem been resolved now ?

Geoff.
ps  We going out for a drink for xmas or what ?
