I like to operate in stealth mode at all times..no sign writing on my truck..I value my privacy lol
Why the stealth mode ?
See nothing wrong with 'Billybop Gardening Services' - sounds quite fun & suitable :) but not sure why advertising your business would make you a "minor wannabe local gardening celebrity" ? I'd be proud to advertise my business ?
I thought crime was low in rural north midlands areas ? In all my years in the crime ridden SE we've never had an issue....touch wood.
Has that happend then?
If you advertised what services you offered, perhaps it would not be a seasonal business as you say ? Clients appreciate the fact they can see who we/you are etc.
A very pessimsitc view there of clients and Britain as a whole....
Only you can change that perception - hence why promoting a positive image would differientiate you from a jobbing gardener and thus up the ante
Could a plain, unmarked van just perpetuate that image and the issues it causes ?
In certain areas some use it to be untracable, unaccountable and jack of all "trades" (using that word 'loosely')
I may do it soon but I like my truck as it is. I may just get the drop down on the bed done.
Does it mean I'm untrustworthy?
I don't think it does but I can see that others may say so!
I would add a picture but I can do it from my phone!
