hi guys ! just had my van signed up and i think it would look great with a mapei sticker on the side of my van, as iam trying to use there addy all the time ! just wondering if anyone else has a mapei sticker on there van or if mapie would be so kind and send me 3 ?

[kilty55]

ive seen mapei stickers on 2 vans in edinburgh ,i called mapei abotu this direct but they say they dont do any such thing,not sure really

[andy allen]

i got a bal one..........but there a bit expensive.

Copy the mapei image to your pc and send it to someone to print into stickers !
Great idea.
I also one day seen a van with a sticker saying " recommended by .... .... tiles !! "
Good idea too but i do work for 4 shops now,lol.

I think Aston Tiling is sponsored by mapei

[terry the tiler]

did u have to pay for it ?

[terry the tiler]

was thinking of asking dave for a tilers forum sticker but i dont want everyone logging on and getting the info they need then doing the tiling themselves !

[hillhead]

Yeah TF stickers would be great for the image.

[Dave]

TF stickers coming soon, as for the Mapei stickers.. do seek approval from mapei that you can do this first.

I'd want paying to advertise someone elses products.
One of the major tile distributors will print all your business cards for free (and repeats) if you put their name/logo on the back/front (depending which way you hand them out) - now that's good business.
You can get free 't' shirts with a manufcturers logo from adhesive companies.
My vehicle is for my logo.


But Mapei is a good adhesive and if they want to advertise for free on your van they should jump at the offer.IMHO.
If they don't want too and you have space I've got a spare www.timelesstilingsolutions.com sticker you can have

I'm with you there, John. Not right to pay to advertise another business especially where you're the customer.

[Scott]

They will give you permission to copy their image. Most sign writers will print them anyway as you part of your contract for the work will be a disclaimer that you on the copyright on anything you are having done.

Richard - as a proud winner of 365 drills for a JOTM competition and having first hand knowledge of your excellent product - I'd be more than happy to display on of your quality signs! (a couple of pipe drills wouldn't go amiss)

[mikethetile]

I would promote your business Richard if you send me a couple of stickers out

[Prem Tiler]

I don't quite understand why you would 'want' to put a mapie sticker on. Yea if they were asking you to and offering them out then so be it but to go to the effort to advertise other peoples products raise there profile? After all your potentnal customers don't need to know what yoiu fix with do they? as you mentioned your keen to keep them in the dark about how to 'do it them selfs' Why tell passers by what sticky is the best?

I dont see any harm in stating you only use a professional product

a lot of decorators get registered with dulux as a "select" decorator and have Dulux in big letters on their van, they reckon it gets them work as people have confidence in the name

ironicly most decorators wont use it unless its specified on the job , like bal , its a good product but pricey and theres better products cheaper on the market

Oh yea but thats a bit diffrent Mike. Thats almost like being a member of a federation or a guild. If mapei handed out stickers that said mapei and stickers that said Mapei aproved tile fixer which would hold more clout?

All I'm saying is Mapei should pull there finger out and make the stickers for tile shops and tilers vans. Tilers shouldn't have to pay a graphics firm to make them some.
