What’s your opinions on this leaflet design?

Is it worth adding whatsapp

Yes I was thinking that I’ll do that now

Id probably change the chandelier

It's probably a new fitting but doesn't have that modern look needed

Honestly I was kind of struggling for decent pictures where there’s not a lot of clutter and other objects in the way. I have good enough pictures for social media but for the leaflet I wanted to keep it as clean as possible. I feel like the like is decent as it’s a mix of modern and traditional where it would attract a mixed audience. The light I had on there before was super modern but I feel like it would just attract mostly young flash people, it was a little on the tacky side.

I would consider changing "ADDITIONAL POINTS"

Not every householder understands that a point means a socket or light etc.

cant think of a better layman's term though.
Extra sockets doesn't seem to cut it.

but all in all, it looks good.

Yeah I was thinking that too but I wanted to keep it as short as possible so it doesn’t stretch over too much. I’ll try and think of something thanks

The sentence 'solutions that works for you' would be better as 'solutions that work for you'.

The sentence about regulations and safety needs a bit of either re-wording or punctuation ' I'd at least put a comma after 'regulations'

I reworded it a little and made the changes you suggested… is this better?

Lose the apostrophe after 'years' and insert 'of'.
Second sentence is a little long and clumsy. Possibly better if you replace the comma after 'regulations' with a full stop, start a new sentence with 'We', remove the full stop after 'priority' and insert 'and'.
Could do with giving some idea of geographical location.
Just my opinion, of course.

Wow thank you this feels much better.
Good shout on the location I’ll put “based in London & Essex” as I’m bordering between the two

Maybe I am just getting older, I find a lack of landline style number concerning on a business.

I specifially do not put my mobile number on as the calls divert to it (so people get me), however the landline number has a message saying calls are recorded and are being diverted to the electrician
This cuts out spam calls and does not make me miss many calls (I get an email of any missed calls with the call ID and time of call)
This allows me to record the calls

Yeah I agree landline number would be more professional etc but I’m just starting out so I’m far from getting one plus it’s an extra cost. Maybe when I’m a bit more established.

The spam call thing sounds really useful though, those people do my nut in

....and I still maintain that apostrophe should go!

 

[brianmoooore]

Definitely. There's nothing possessive about 'years'.

 

[ppelec100]

You will be pleased to know that it’’’’’s been removed now

 

[pirate]

Its good to see its been removed! OOPS!

 

[mickegh]

....and I still maintain that apostrophe should go!

Agree .Not sure why i have it in there . Maybe the auto-correct shoved it in

I use Yay.com for my number, I would also recommend Net-Telco, both offer call recording as well as rolling contracts. I have tried others who offer good 'deals' but fall far short in service or functionality
Yay are better for customer interface and website functions

With Net-Telco you can get a number from £12 per year plus call divert charges - for example I was £13 last month with them for my legacy numbers
I have different numbers for different local areas - I have 3 local area codes for when I used to advertise in the local paper as I found that people from Ayr were less likely to call a Kilmarnock company.

My last full month was November (to exclude holidays) and I had 204 incoming calls, my monthly cost was £34 including VAT for Yay.com. All numbers divert through this number, this cost includes global call recording and all my non-mobile outgoing calls.

They do an app that allows you to call out from your virtual mobile number from anywhere with an internet connection (or mobile data)

It also allows time based routing- my numbers give an out of hours message from Friday at 4pm to Monday at am and then transfer the call to my mobile. This stops nutters calling at 10pm on a Saturday night to ask about an outside light when drunk (yes, I have had that)

It also scares off people who want to rip you off as they know calls are recorded from the start

The way I look at the cost of the number is in jobs- if a virtual landline number costs £34 per month then ONE job from it pays for the number.

Can you afford not to have a landline number?

If you are starting out then you need to have consistency so a landline number from the start helps- it makes you look like a company rather than a one man band

The call divert helps- people calling hear my sweet voice telling them the call is about to be diverted to the electricain and that calls are recorded, this adds 13 seconds or so and eliminates the spammers

The benefit of Yay is that I get missed call alerts- if you are on the phone or out of area then you know when a call is missed- see below
