I’m looking for advice or suggestions for getting my enclosed trailer lettered. Here is what I have so far. I’ve been told the the largest thing should be what you’re offering, then how to get in touch with you, then the logo. Anything I’m missing? I have a white 5x10

Mine certainly isnt the greatest ever, but i was very happy with how it came out.
Simple is always better… what u posted looks like a business card IMO.

I would love to wrap but I can’t afford it atm. Nice rig tho.
website bigger for sure like @DoubleH said. Make your website as big as your phone number @Harold
When people who prefer to check a website first go to the site and interact with it it will help your SEO a bit. Also, I’m really glad you updated your name. Lol
Make Licensed & Insured bigger. They need a reason to trust you if they haven’t been referred by a friend.
Join the better business bureau. It’s $30 a month and doesn’t do a darn thing for you except gives you a trust badge if you don’t have any others.
Other than that, this is pretty dang close to what I’d put on an enclosed trailer, but I’d put House Washing on there because that gets me in the door to upsell gutter cleaning, concrete, etc and is my largest margin offering. And I’d line the bottom with trust badges.
Call or Text
I need to start adding “or Text” to everything. Do you get more texts than calls?

You don’t need to wrap it that wasn’t my point. Bright colors cost the same as boring colors. Yellow reds orange blues all grab attention. It might be worth letting the company doing the lettering come up with some eye catching stuff. They usually don’t charge much if there doing the lettering

I’m paying my cousin to do it. She has a good setup And does good work, but her design skills are lacking. $300 for the whole trailer so I’ll be doing the designing.
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll be taking josh & your suggestions. Everyone I’ve talked to in my area refers to the work as pressure washing, regardless of what they need washed. Many don’t even know what power washing means until I explain that it’s the same as pressure washing.
I get about 25% of just texting. I’ve had several customers whom I’ve never talked to or met. Arranged everything via text, and paid via Venmo or PayPal. It works but feels strange for some reason.

Kinda like the difference between pop, soda, and coke I guess.
Yeah I have quite a few customers like that, but I’m an introvert so I like it. Turning on in person mode wears me out.

This truck gets just as many calls as the other two . It doesn’t say much but it says enough. No wrap just bright big lettering

Maaannn I know the feeling. It gets exhausting acting and sounding like your so happy. So much so that by the end of a busy day I don’t feel like talking to anyone.

I really like this design. The offset angle makes it look unique.
How do you distinguish which calls are coming from each truck?
Honestly, havent gotten much text only communications this season. A few here or there, but its was a lot more frequent last year. Like you said, so many ppl dont want to actually talk to you. If they know they can text you it only helps. I like the text ppl cause it gives me a chance to not respond immediately, like i do when the phone rings and i feel the need to answer it if i can.

I hate text msg for business, once it scrolls down off my screen it is gone as far as I am concerned, most of my contact is via phone or the contact link on my website.Plenty of my calls are from my wrapped trailer. Email and phone are great from an efficiency perspective but if I get them one on one, the next guy seldom has a chance. I do every bid with an emailed PDF spelling everything out, takes out the “but I thought you said”.

Same. I can sell a ketchup popsicle to a lady in white gloves in person. But it doesn’t make it any less exhausting. Lol
