I have not seen the new issue yet.  I hope that they were able to do a lot with photo shop.  I asked them to take off twenty pounds.  This was a fantastic opportunity for us.  Ics is the #1 trade magazine.  Almost everyone who is in the carpet cleaning industry either receives the magazine or has access to it at their local distribuor.  I suggest going online and ordering a subscription (free).  Next time one of your competitors says that HB is a small time out fit ask them how many times their company has been in the mag.
I was asked if I would do the layout late last year.  They contacted me because of our reputation.  I also was able to provide the house for the pictures.  Myself and a few of my local cleaners took about 1200 pictures.  These will be used in all of the issues for covers and articles for at least the next year.  I tried my best to have our logo showing in as many pictures as possible.  I cant say that you will be able to see me or the van/logo in every issue, but you can always say I recognize those shoes anywhere.
Can’t wait to see what the final pictures look like, but I was told that there will be some cover pictures in the future.
