Ummmm..... yeah......... I guess it would be good for a backyard techie. Sorry if I sound blunt in this post, however the people I am normally dealing rather deal with a professional as appose to some one that thinks that they an extradinare with computers.
Are you trying market yourself as a IT Professional, or as some kid that knows all about computer that just wants a little more pocket money.
Ditch the south park character. It really looks non professional. Mind you, this is not as bad as the computer store that was using pictures from Dragon Ball Z on their website a few years back.
Ditch Computer Fixer Extradinare. It sounds like you are big noting yourself.
Ditch the Experienced PC Repair Specialist Offering Services as it make you sound like you are desperate for business. It's nearly as appealing as a homeless bum with a cardboard sign saying "Will Fix PC For Food".
Ex-Geek Squad Agent..... you want to know what is currently going through my mind when I read that..... "Why did you leave your job at Geek Squad? Did you Quit? Or did you get Fired?"
You are also riding on the reputation of Geek Squad.
Also, If I was Geek Squad, then I would be having world with my lawyer about using my company name for your advertising. I will seeing about what I can do about sueing your @$$ for using my company name in your advertising with out my permission.
For your sake, I hope you left your company on good terms.
Computer Optimisation...... could you just put yourself into an Joe End User's Shoes that really has no idea about computer for a second. These people are normally happy with there computer running as it, and unless there is a problem, they don't want some one "Optimising" it.
Remove the rate all together. At most have your base rates.
Hardware install $30
(installation of any PC based hardware, includes office machines)
BIG MISTAKE! Especially that office machines part.
Like if it was not for the fact that I live in australia, I would out source you for some of my hardware install on my CCTV DVR cards and PC Based Point Of Sales hardware. Because paying you $30 just to install those PC based hardware of those office machines would be alot cheaper that me spending 2 hours of my time to install and configure them.
After all, you do "any PC based hardware".
However if that is your rates, tell you this, I might just call you out for some of my CCTV and Point Of Sales Hardware installations.
Tell you what, give me your number and I will call you out right now as I have 2 DVR Cards and 1 POS hardware install that I need to this week. I will give you $90 for the lot because it going to save me a lot of hassling around with those PC hardware.
Over all, I think you might want to just leave it as your base rates because I feel that not only are your undercutting competators. You are under cutting yourself.
Like Onsite Virus Removal for $60..... You might want to re-evaluate how much your time is worth to
YOU because I have had some virus and spyware removal take about 3 hours of my time. And there is NO way that I am going to give up 3 hours of my time just for $60.
over all you might want to lift up the image that you are trying to promote yourself as. Instead of promting yourself as the expreince PC Repair Specialist / Computer Fix Extraordinare that no longer has a job as Geek Squad and that is willing to work for peanuts, you might what to promote yourself as a IT Professional.
Start the heading with some thign like
"Computer Repair" or "Computer Services" or some thing like that.
Then have a breaf outine on what you actually do.
Eg. Virus / Spyware / Adware Removal
Computer Hardware and Peripheral Installation
PC Troubleshooting
Networking, Internet Sharing, Wireless.
Windows 98, Me, 2000, Xp Support
Just have your base hourly rate if you feel the that you must advertise your rate.
Eg. $60 per hour. No Fix, No Pay.
(sorry, I really don't know how much you value your time at)
Don't advertise your call out fee. Tell them that when they call you.
I don't list my rates at all. Reason being is that some jobs are bigger than others. Like there is no way that I am going to touch a Client Server Enviroment for my base rate.
Secondly, I like being flexible. Like if i got some little old granny that just want a small job done, I will drop my rates. Meanwhile, if I got some business owner the better end of town, they can afford to pay the little extra.
If feel the need to big note yourself on your computer skills, then why not list your qualifications? Eg. MCSE, MCSA, MYOB Professional Partner, Acer VAR, Intel GID, Dip. Level 4 IT : PC and Network Support.
Like log onto AMD.com some time and sit the exam for the AMD Professional Partner qualification. Just about any one can sit for that one. (or at least the base one. The Silver and Gold do have various requirements which your company has to meet)
Over all, I am not having a shot at you. I am just saying that your advertising need a lot of work.
