I am going to order some and see what happens.
You can put your logo into the artwork...or creat your own art work...which I will probably do.
There are 15 of the spotters bottles in a case and they come already filled.
I think It will look pretty pro compared to some others I have seen.

If there are any companies on here that have there owne spotter program please post so I can compare.
Thanks

I guess that's a no and a no?

14 of you M'er F'ers have looked at this thread.

Do you think these spotters are worth purchasing? Is there better ones out there? I like the cleaner Procyon but I am looking for more of an image now as well.
As long as the image comes with a good cleaner. Wanted to make that clear before I got a "Hack" stutus or "Scumbag" tag.

I used to use Procyon to clean with years ago. I only stopped when Ivan went to distributors in the east. Price was way too high then. I gave it away as a spotter then and can never remember getting anything but positive comments on it.

Same as Marty. We sold it and gave it to our customers, most love the stuff. And, when Ivan went to distributors and nearly doubled the price it gave me an excuse to try something else.

There are alot of local companies that give the 8oz -32 oz spotter bottles for free or sell them for $5.95. I think its a win win situation for you Brian. I am hoping to come out with my own product line within the next year or so. I wanna open a small kiosk in the mall selling these items along with other natural and green related items. The whole point is to cross sell my carpet cleaning business. The demographic and income is perfect. Around a million people visit this mall every year. See how it all works out.

Go for it Brian its a good way to keep your name infront of customers faces.

Cool
and the price is right as well.
$2.99 Per 16 oz bottle....less if you order more.

$25.00 set up charge.

I used Procyon alot a few years ago but it did get expensive when they switched distributors.

Anyone who spends over $300.00 gets one for free. Anyone who spends less gets one for ....hmmm maybe $5.00?

Just a sale will be $10.00?

Either way it should pay for it's self.

Uh oh, I hear the sham wow guy coming in.
I wonder if the Germans made it..."because the Germans always make good stuff."

We used to bottle it ourselves and leave one in a goodie bag. We had bigger bottles to sell.

Wayne that is a great looking goodie bag. Is that a button? If so why not use magnets instead or included? Just curious.

Looks like he belongs in a Ren & Stimpy cartoon...

as Mr Horse would say,

"no sir, I don't like it"

I still use Procyon on everything. I used to give out the pre-labeled Procyon spotter bottles that you mixed and filled yourself. Ivan nixed that a few years ago, in favor of you buying pre-filled spotter bottles that you by from a distributor. (so you're paying to ship water!) He said it had something to do with liability insurance, I think.

I will try some of Steve's spotter.

I have been giving out these spotters to good customers for about 6 months. I tell them it's the same stuff I clean with and it does work well. I also use Procyon for upholstery and tile.

I started using Prolon instead of procyon because they said it was pretty much the same stuff with corrosion inhibitors...It worked ok....still liked procyon.

Well, I got the spotters in. After shipping it ended up being about 5 bucks per 16oz spray bottle. The quality of the print job on the label was not very good.
Still good enough to give to the customer and uphold the image...but could be better.

I don't think I could get $10.00 to sell one. As giveaways, it should be ok.

Only the higher paying customers will get one....just for the reminder aspect.

Thought I would let everyone know that the image isn't good for the price but I know the cleaner inside is worth the price but both are important so I may find an alternative.

I might see what my printer can do for me and order the other stuff separately.

When I started using it a huge box was $45, and then it just started going up, up and away.....

Way too expensive for what it is. Much better products out there.
