Food For Thought

[Tim Smith]

What sets your ad apart from the others?

Yellow Pages --- Hold the phone book page back - Does your ad jump out?

What makes your ad jump out? Logo, Slogan, Color
Background, etc.

Does your ad send a message of Security to the customer?

example: INSURED FOR YOUR PROTECTION
xx YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
FREE ESTIMATES

What does your Logo say to customers? Does your Logo represent your business?

Do you have a slogan? What message does your slogan send to the customers?

example "Protect & Increase the Value of Your Property"
"QUALITY" is the Key to Our Success"

What does the above slogans say to a customer?

Logo/Slogan

Well I haven't got my logo finished yet but still working on it. as for slogan its "Making Texas A Cleaner Place" this is an issue I feel that concerns people here. There are always campaigns to clean up Texas or "Don't Mess With Texas" this is a slogan I think apeals to Texas residents. It also gives the image that I and my business care about the community. This will hopefully attract some positive attention.

Austin,


Welcome to www.PowerWashNetwork.com

Great slogan!
Ours is "We Make Cleaning Easy"

We actually are adopting a second slogan: "The Best Under Pressure"

(Which is used by All American Cleaning Systems)


Once again welcome to the board and good luck with your logo.

I like the slogan. An idea for a logo--

Picture this: The state of Texas as the backgound with a muscle man in a neat uniform holding a wand - with your slogan running across the bottom and the name of your company across the top. The names would be in the 3d effect.

Once you are done - post it, I would love to see it. Please email, call, or post is you ever want to discuss marketing, taxes, or just business in general.

Austin, you are far enough away that I can offer this. I use a muscle man for my logo. If you haven't already finished, I can let you take a look at mine and you can use it if you want. Let me know.

Muscle Man

Hey Mike, that would be great I'd love to see it. I wasn't sure what kind of figure I was going to use. Fortunately I have a friend who is really good at this and he suggested that we take some pics of me holding the wand at various angles and then use the silouette. The logo is going to involve the state of Texas with the figure actually washing the state with the streams from the wand somehow shooting out into the name or something similar.

 

[Austin]

Thanx Tim

Tim I really appreciate the offer I would love to chat with you sometime. The business end is the part I really struggle with and I would love to get ideas from others in the business.
