Anything wrong with my latest advertising method?

[Brightspark2]

I think most people with half a brain see a leaflet through the door with 'free inspection' on as just a salesman trying to get a lead, and get a chance to convince you, you need work doing to warrant the 'free inspection'

Exactly...who in there right mind is going to think he will go round and tell them everything is ok...

Obviously there's a catch with the free inspection...its just so he can go round and tell you it needs updating/re-wiring or whatever...

But good luck with it...

May be better if you spell checked EVERYTHING before you even think about releasing it into the wild and take some lessons in Basic English. You're making yourself look an illiterate clown.

You and a few others here may think it unimportant to have a decent command of the Mother Tongue to do sparking work and you may be right, but here you are advertising yourself and your business and that's a whole new kettle of horses. It's the first impression that counts and if I ever receive an unsolicited mailshot liberally sprinkled with basic spelling errors you can guess what I'll think of the company and what I'll do with the fancy leaflet !!

(in this case the misspelled word is their - as in THEIR property is over THERE)

Correcting grammar online...zzzzzz.

Im sorry but Im not about to start spellchecking my posts on an INTERNET FORUM.

Bitter old? man.

I take on board what you are saying about the "free" part, but my thinking is, That there are a lot of people whom in the back of the mind may have doubts/concerns about their electrics but never get round to doing anything about it. My letter will target these people, Ill confirm or releive suspicions for "free".

Also Im not targeting just any customer, I know the installations in these flats are in a bad way.

It's like internet phishing I guess ( not saying its a scam) you will only need one bite and a reasonable amount of work out of it to make it pay. Good luck

He's just a cocky young sprog in a kilt with a sporran full of porridge so I'll forgive him his misdemeanour ...... for now.

aye, but considering he may have a thistle up his kilt I can't blame him for being grumpy, combined with the fact he has already whacked a litre of famous grouse back he is bound to be temper mental

There there Geordie, I know they're getting their spelling of 'there' wrong, but there's no reason at all for there to be any harsh reprimands for the lack of their knowledge they're displaying!

I was late taking my medication ....... which by the way I am heartily sick of.

I have spent most of the week sitting about in hospital waiting rooms or being mauled like a lump of meat on a butcher's slab. The rest of the time has been spent sitting here housebound.

I'm fed-up to he back teeth of hospitals, Consultants, Doctors and nurses poking needles in me too - and as for x-rays and scans those too. I've had so much radiation blasted through me that I glow in the dark to the extent that I am giving Sellafield some stiff competition.

Next week for their entertainment and amusement, my torturers are thinking about shoving a camera where the sun don't shine. I hope they don't expect to get the tripod in there with it.

Meanwhile, my MR2 is sitting on the drive in the cold and wet alone and forlorn wondering what it's done to upset me.

My wonderful Pikey Fiancée is sitting in her caravan 14 miles away wondering the same, so I hope you won't deny me a little light relief by gently growling at someone now and then!
