My brother runs a Office, so i get free printing / photocopying  Smiley

i asked him to do me some A4 flyers just before christmas, so he did me 100

this time i redesigned the flyer to get 2 per A4 sheet, great i thought, thats 200 i will get done

so i e.mail him, and ask him to do as many as he can  Wink afterall its free

he arrived today, with 7500 sheets, thats 15000 flyers

Keep them. they will not be wasted. Part of any sucessful window cleaning business should be the continual process of improving your book. Customers move, die etc and need to be replaced.
Other customers can be quietly dropped when you get better ones to replace them

never expect instant results with flyers. logic says that the day you post them is a rainy day. cant work so post leaflets. you punter reads the leaflet looks out of the window and thinks not today its raining, some file them some bin them. i had a call last week at my mums, a number that was on leaflets 4 years ago.

You're obviously doing something right. Fancy sharing what's on YOUR flyer?

Just being Nosey, you realise Wink
