I'm thinking of stocking up on some promotional spotting bottles with logo, number etc on them to give to customers & don't want to be giving away something completely useless, so I was just wondering how you guys rate the different options available?

Any advice is appreciated!

Many thanks in advance.

I recently got some from restormate, competitive pricing and VERY good service, fast delivery.  No idea if it's any good, but that's not the point of it

not used anyone else for them so can't compare.

I think Derek West used to make his own with child labour ie the kids pouring and topping up.

Oh yeah I remember him saying about that!

I think he sourced his bottles on the net, got labels from printcarrier and then diluted microsplitter to make them up.  All for about £1.00 or so I think

(£1 per bottle that is!)

[Kingsley Wright]

I'm pleased with the ones I got from Dry Fusion (cleaners warehouse) - though relatively expensive at about £2 per 250ml bottle.

Deliberately wanted a small bottle as don't want the customer to be protected from stains for too long 

I like the fact also that the DF bottles are labelled as Woolsafe approved.

500 ml spray bottles, 40 p
labels 10p
microsplitter diluted 5 to 1 thats 30 litres or 60 bottles for about £20, can't be assed to do the maths.

child labour to put the labels on, priceless

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Derek how did you go on with the labels as I thought you said that the ink ran if you got solution on them?

Shaun

I get mine off restormate aswell very good and for the little extra it cost over messing around doing them yourself i shall continue to do so

Shop around within uk for bottles -  i got my black 300mls with yellow  triggers - special offer worked out at 27p each (on 500) Black and yellow just happen to be my company colours!!!      citrus concentrate diluted 20:1 works out at £15 to fill em all - labels I did myself in MS Publisher using my colour laser so water proof - custys love em - have all my contact details on them with instructions for use and a line which suggests calling for free advice or free refill.

I only started doing them myself as bought some from a southern supplier and promplty lost the labels - they wouldnt just re supply labels so did my own and it went from there

Basically I am saving well over a pound per bottle and a wise man once said

"its easier to save a pound than it is to make one..."

Gave one to a passing stranger today who stopped for a chat whislt admiring me prowler - business card that they wont bin or lose in the drawer...

How you going to manage the refill thingy.
Say someone calls for a refill and they are 10 miles away - or is it only a refill when they have their carpets cleaned again.

[David_Annable]

Hi

Cant remember exact figures but i think a 1000 waterproof labels from the printers were about £100.

its one of them non slip flooring with the alloy flake i think, going to have a look in the morning and then doing the job at night. got to clean sinks and toilet bowls as well, yak. hey, where theres muck theres money, i'm not proud.

if i can get a good results (using sts, nevere used it before, is it any good, gottsy recommended it) i'll look into all hard floor surfaces, if it takes off like the cc then i'll need another trucky, my part timer will be full time end of the month. things are rockin here shaun. trippled last jan, he who dares eh! wotsit like in sunny chef?

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Bloody weather! I'm still getting my days full but the beginning of the month was snowed out! just buying a 2nd dry cleaners when the solicitor gets his finger out.

Sounds like Altro floor what you've got there just about bullet proof can't go wrong, IMO make sure you give a good scrub and dwell.

Shaun

PS would you email me the supplier of the bottles? shaun_ashmore@lineone.net

[derek west]

shaun
was thinking of connecting the water solution to the rx with floor scrubber and the vac hose to the wand with a gay/girl glide for recovery. that way the solution gets a good scrub and dwell before it gets sucked back up. plus it will look like ive got a multi wand truckmount.

you and bob have mail

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I used to clean these floors way back when we had vax style carpet cleaners and it's more of a chemical clean and aggitation but I think you have all bases covered with that scenario

Shaun

PS Thanks for the info and mum's the word which mum I don't know but thanks.

[Stu.Clem]

Joe - refills whenever they want - fair use policy of course - dont tolerate p1ss takers me - always out and about so will sort em at my convenience when am in vicinity - but hey ho  i will always drive the extra mile for a deserving cause
