| 588084 | 2007-09-05 04:15:00 | Good luck. Go around businesses in Southland and give out your card, which should be a small sticker which they can stick to the cpu. tedheath I would have thought that a sticker on the outside of the case or just a good old business card would be good, since I wouldn't have thought the average customer would look inside their PC case to find out who repaired it and not everybody has a clear PC case. I hope it all goes well for you pctek. :) Will you be doing any home networking/wireless setups or just PC repairs? |

She sticks it right in the middle of the outside of the cpu. Believe me, since I changed from business cards to a sticker with a 0800 number business has gone up around 5 times. The 0800 service costs around $80 a month for around 50k turnover. tedheath |

Contratulations and good luck pctek. I hope it goes really well for you. |

| 588088 | 2007-09-05 04:53:00 | Good on you pctek and the best of luck with your venture. :thumbs: Hope you don't get too busy to keep us plebs edjakated on our PCs though. :eek: :p Business cards with a magnetic backing are better than stickers as one can still stick it on a PC case (or fridge) but it also allows the customer to take it to the phone or put in their wallet when required. They can then have the phone number and address at hand rather than have to write the details down. |

| 588090 | 2007-09-05 04:59:00 | Stupid me I thought the cpu case held a cpu. tedheath The cpu is mounted in a socket on the motherboard, then covered with a fan which is locked onto the motherboard by a clipping mechanism, The motherboard is mounted onto a panel in the case. Calling the case a cpu is as logical as calling your truck a fuel cap. |

| 588091 | 2007-09-05 05:03:00 | Winmacguy was joking about how you are incorrectly referring to the computer as the CPU, which is in fact a small component inside the case (which I'm sure you know). I am aware that the CPU is a smallish hardware component from suppliers such as Intel or AMD that sits on the mobo inside the PC case. Hence the reason I mentioned putting the sticker on the outside of the case - similar to what Intel do with their "Intel Inside" sticker which often sits on the keyboard near the Windows XP/Vista logo. But which ever method is used, I hope it brings repeat business. |
