It should be. Especially one as big as that.

I'm still not entirely sure on the wording for the sign writing. I'm swaying towards Burgers but think Ice Cream may suit it better.
 
you on commission from checka trade then mike? because most custards will have no idea what that is and thats a large chunk of your advertising space giving a free plug to them
 
Looks smart mike, I don't blame you letting someone else pay for your sign writing, everything is better when it's free 🙂

are you tied into some sort of contract with them now mike?
 
It's a one off deal that they do for members. Because I'm getting a lot of feedback I appear at or near the top of the list when someone searches for plumbing or heating so it's good for me if people go to the check a trade site.
 
Hmmmm, interesting. You're one of the very few who I've heard positive things from re: referral sites
 
Eggs and basket spring to mind. But if it works for you, it works for you.
 
Nice one Mike, looks brilliant. Very eye-catching & straight to the point.

I'm finally getting my van sign written on Friday. I've done some work for a local media company who a friend of mine runs, & in return they are sorting my van, printed some business cards & printing some leaflets. It's not what you know, it's who you know sometimes!

A lot less risky than contracting where you sub to one main contractor. It's just a more technical version of word of mouth really. I'm now on the 3rd and 4th jobs for some of the people who found me through check a trade so it's helping me build a customer database as well. When these people recommend me to there friends they can check my reputation on check a trade as well as taking personal recommendation. From the customers point of view, knowing that they can give feedback gives me an incentive to make sure that I do things properly.
