My graphic designer has skills

[Charlie Lyman]

i had my door hanger/brochure redesigned. My graphics lady nailed it.

 

[Clean Response]

I want to see the back.

I just love your logo Charlie.

Not that she isn't good but that logo makes her job easy!

 

[Kevin De Medeiros]

Yeah that looks very professional. It's hard to get a graphic designer who is on the same page as you . I've had trouble finding one. Great job and your logo is really nice.

The top black ink takes away from your logo, changes it...your logo should be against same color background. Consistent . Jmho

She designed the logo too.
If anyone wants her number, PM me.

 

[Desk Jockey]

That gurl good!

Crisp and tasteful. I would lose the ROTOVAC bit as different typeface detracts from your image (unless you get a commission from them)
- a customer could not give a stuff what brand of equipment you use

Very nice!

It was a filler. And a lot of people like that swirly thing.

"Fastest Dry Times"

Studebakers?

studebakers and dripods. No more snail fans since I blew a ceramic Jesus off a mantle.....

Great piece. Very clean.

RV logo doesn't bother me. If anything might pique the interest of a customer.

What is the "Get One Room Cleaned For Free" offer?

Charlie, please PM me info. My brochure is due for a redesign.

 

[Shawn Abbey]

I like it! Clean and crisp..

I agree to lose the Rotovac logo on the next printing. Customers don't know/care what that means.

 

[Desk Jockey]

I'd get a Carpet Geek graphic for your RV and then put on the cover of the brochure Carpet Geek's Exclusive Carpet Restoration System.

If a competitor bitches about it being "Exclusive", just say yours is the only one with a Carpet Geek logo.

 

[Charlie Lyman]

I used the Rotovac just to fill in space. People will ask about it when they call.
My wife has been handing out door hangers for the last month. The phone is going nuts. I can barely work sometimes. I weed out the price shoppers and get the good ones.
We haven't handed these out in about 6 years. The old one looked like crap compared to the new.
They are still working.

They get one free room with a whole house cleaning. Up to 100 sq ft. It gets Mrs Jones to get a little more done when I'm there. A small house it might take 10 or 15 bucks off. A big house will get the whole $35 off.

Highly recommend using a female graphic designer.....especially if you are a cleaner that does mostly residential (cause mostly the woman of the house makes the decisions to use you) or if the gate keeper for commercial work is a female.

If you don't have a female designer and you get several differ proofs, at a minimum have WOMEN look at them and let you know which they like best. Guys respond to different design elements than women do.

And if your primary buyer is the woman of the House you want to be appealing to her.

 

[Mikey P]

I'd like to test that theory.


No way would I have said a woman designed Charlie's tri-fold..

I was in commercial printing for 28 years.

One of the places that I worked for in NYC did work for the Cooper Union design students.

The female students always had the cleanest, least cluttered designs.

I could not agree more.

Charlie the best thing about this is you have a professionally done brochure.

90% of those commenting and in the industry probably do not have any thing close.

My thoughts on the piece it looks very masculine and really is just a great use of white space.

I do not think it really invokes any emotion that a female client would be attracted to.

The thought of making your equipment a main selling point not really a strong advertising position.

A female wants to know 3 things
1. Are you safe or trust worthy?
2. Are you qualified?
3. Will you do a good job?

I would try to develop something more like that. We are working on a new piece and to be honest it is hard.

Congrats on the results and getting something quality done. Most never get where you are.

There is a huge difference between a Graphic Designer and a "I know a Guy that has a computer program"

 

[Shane Deubell]

All I can say is just don't become too married to this stuff. Often we become too emotionally attached and take it personal if someone doesn't like it.
Me included.

Overall would say its safe, not going to offend anybody but not going to move the needle either.
