Any of you old pros giving out spotters still? Anyone have a recommendation for bottles and labels?
Custom spotters

I give out a 12 oz spray bottle of Stain X at each cleaning. Get the Distributor pricing. Then I put a label on it.
Been doing that for at least 35 years. People LOVE it.

I haven't done it in quite a while but my customers loved it. Procyon still has a private label spotter program I believe. Their spotter if fairly effective and non toxic. Safe to leave with your customers.

I’m still using Vacaway’s Encap Green with their bottles and customized labels.

We get our labels from Prolific Prints and the bottles from Berlin Packaging
My spotter program got the axe officially this year after we "haven't been able to get it" since COVID. I really never felt it benefitted us a ton of seemed like our best customers never used it and the only ones that asked about it are our once every other year two room and bitch about the minimum types...

You’re not necessarily in a minority. I can’t say it’s all that beneficial for me either. It’s just some mud I’m throwing on the wall.

One of the problems you get is a good customer wanting you to drop off another bottle. Only.
depends on what type of customer you have. I get a request to drop off a bottle maybe once every three months. More times than I can count I get a call from a past customer that gets my number off the bottle (I dont send out reminders)

That is a high class problem.

Used to buy from Berlin. Two times they said they had the bottles in stock with a three-week ship time. Berlin did not have the bottles in stock, they didn't even have them in the country. They did post the purchase to the CC right away though.
The earlier order I lined up a schedule with the printer and the company we pay to fill so we'd have spotter ready in five weeks. Lying about what they had in stock created a four month gap between order and get.
Moved on to Cary Company to supply bottles. They actually have inventory in their warehouse.
