Re: How's my flyer?

I would change the background picture. It doesn't look good to have a vertical picture, and horizontal font.

Re: How's my flyer?

^^ +1....It's too 'one dimentional' You need to change the font. It's very overpowering. Set Up an email account with your business name: Businessname@gmail.com. I see you have a partner...just to keep it one email address and one phone number...most people neglect the second anyway. You will get lots of different opinions about this, but i never put prices on any marketing material unless its a coupon or discount. Thats all i have for now!

Goodluck

Re: How's my flyer?

your flyer offers " interior/exterior detail to make your car better then new!" kinda hard to do without any paint correction. not to sound mean but your flyer says nothing about polishing copounding or anything? if your gonna advertise your prices which i wouldn't recomend " you have list a advanced detail with no price. then you have a price for a professional detail for $100.00 again not to sound rude but if your charging for a professional clean up for $100.00 let me get you some of scotts waxes business cards i hear he fixes this type of work. to many numbers and email address! get one number and one email. no personal stuff! a business email like your business name at yahoo or gmail or hotmail. maybe get a cell phone just for the business! ZFilms.org are you advertising there company to? green is kinda a bad background color! maybe a car picture of a car you did and not something from someone elses work. that copyright infringement. trust me i would love to use some pics of others inceredible work but its not mine. i would never do such! just wrong! sorry if this sounds like im bashing your ad, but you came into a professional detailers forum! i wish you the best of luck in your journey also don't forget about woman drivers in your add! may some color in your lettering you need something that just stands out! hopefully my advice will help ya. good luck! remember in all about the little things!

Re: How's my flyer?

^ The advanced and professional thing was a typing mistake, I changed it from professional to advanced and I missed a couple of spots. Its been fixed now but good catch. And what did you mean about the scotts waxes comment?

Re: How's my flyer?

scotts wax! a great detailer on this site advertises i fix 100 dollar cleanups maybe he says 75. you have a PROFESSIONAL for $100.00 seriously its advertisement like this that gives detailing a bad rap! if you look around some guys get 80.00 an hour some get 70 an hour 60 an hour and come on man lets get real, a professional clean for 100.00! maybe change the name! when i think a professional clean i want it perfect. i don't know anyone who can do a professional cleanup for 100 bucks maybe that one guy martin wright the master detailer could lol! just trying to be honest if this sounds brutal im sorry but you asked for opinions! i really do wish you the best of luck! your on the right track! good luck!

Re: How's my flyer?

yea i know what you mean about the name i changed it over to advanced, and i thought scotts wax was a product thats why I was confused. And yes that man does some amazing work. As far as paint correction goes im hoping to have my buffer by the start of spring, so I can add it to the flyer.

Re: How's my flyer?

Helvetica or Verdana would be a better font choice. Easier to read and more professional looking.

Re: How's my flyer?

Ok changed the font re-organized a lot of the text and replaced the paragraphs at the top with something different.

Re: How's my flyer?

Just pointing out a typo - it should be "perform", not preform.
