2 businesses

My partner's main focus is the Remodeling biz Servicez Unlimited.

Commercial construction for me needs less over sight. Remodeling needs daily attention. The commercial stuff doesn't

I do the estimating for both sides and deal with all the subs and marketing.

Lots of meetings, bad coffee and networking

I am going to try to post about it here

I have elected to go this route and your calls get an Auto Attendant (think voice mail jail ) Not sure which service I will be using but here is one phone (dot) com

Yeah, I use evoice for my website..I used to get a lot of telemarketing calls with my cell phone numbr posted on my website, but now I have the evoice receptionist to screen my calls..greatest thing I ever did..

Re: Vehicle Graphics For Review.


Here is what I am working on for my new van, what do you all think. I just
finished the design, have not sent out for bid to sign shops yet.
This thread has perfect timing.

My .02 - looks really nice, however
Phone # & website on sides - way to small
I would lose the front graphic, the only time they can read it is when you are tailgating someone
I like how the red stripe starts or stops on the door handle - thats sharp, I just wouldn't limit your top graphic to the same size
Not sure you need your logo 3 times on each side - maybe loose the rear quarter panel one

I like it too, Handyman. However around here a handyperson might take issue and key your truck

And I agree with the other posts about bumping up the phone and website fonts, don't make a potential customer search for that important information.



Nobody commented on mine - my feelings are hurt

Sorry buddy. I didn't pay attention. I like yours too. However, the phone number should be a little larger. On the box truck, space is a little limited as to where to put stuff,otherwise..thumbs up

Re: Vehicle Graphics For Review.


now I disagree with Darwin a little bit...the phone # is not nearly as important as a clean, easy to read name...and the website, so long at the website is essentially 'thecompanyname.com'

reason being...most any phone call you get from someone getting the number off your truck will simply be to complain about your driving...most people who see your truck in the AM and need your services, will look you up online or in the phone book when they get to work...they aren't going to write your # down while driving...

Reminds me of a time when I was younger, I drove a little wild. I must've cut someone off, I got back to the shop, answered the phone and it was a lady upset by the driver. I told her no problem, I would take care of it and how sorry I was.

Luckily, I took the call, it made me think about what I was doing a little more. The only calls I would get now would be complaining that the damn guy was going too slow. I try not to be in too big of a hurry.

Thanks for the feedback, I am trying to keep a fairly clean look, the number and website seem like they are large enough in real life. I don't know, I may cut them out and see.

On the front and rear, I was thinking stop light Marketing. The rear is very readable and would give plenty of time to write info down.

Thanks again for the feedback.

Re: Vehicle Graphics For Review.


yes the sides should be light on info mainly logo...no one can read 20 things passing you at 40mph

the back doors is the money maker at traffic jams and traffic lights!
