Cool Business Van Livery

Just realised I'd never posted pictures of my VW Caddy I purchased after getting rid of my last Scooby.

So here it is. Certainly not very sexy but needs must.

There's a missing possessive apostrophe (car's, not cars) in your tag lines (nice and catchy though), and I imagine 'products' not 'product' would be more accurate, unless you only use a single product of course.

Other than that, it looks great.

Thanks mate.

Bit quiet in December but hardly surprising really. Looking forward to this year to move it on to the next stage

You're not the first to spot that lol. My wife is a grammar Naxi and picked up on it straight away

Embarrassing really. I'll get it sorted next time It's in having things down

In fairness though, the old adage "if in doubt, do without" is spot on when it comes to apostrophe usage.

Nothing worse than getting it wrong with one in the wrong place.

Thank's...

The only thing that I dislike is the fact you don't have a website, are linking to a FB page and are using a gmail account for business.

You may be the best in the biz but that would put me off straight away so I'd never contact.

Good luck though!

Bit harsh , he's a nice guy and just starting out and I assume he has put all his money into products, the van etc and may not have the budget for websites, domain names and the likes. I think he may appreciate the constructive criticism albeit a bit gentler

If I came across as 'harsh' that wasn't the intention, just giving him my opinion.

Website is in the pipeline and domain names have been purchased.

The gmail email will be scrubbed once I have the website up and running and have a contact page.

As Chris has said I've spent a fair bit getting this far. Having to sell a JDM Hawkeye was a big step but enabled me to get this far without borrowing a penny.
