Why are you canvassing if you get 3 calls a day come in?. Thats 21 customers a week 84 a month. You have a winning formula there somehow.
In fact im gonna give up canvassing and get a website built if i can get a return like that! I take back all the negativity i ever had to leaflet campaigns!.
Seriously how did you realy get that many without door knocking?

Im canvassing to accomadate the new worker.
Unfortunately through facebook its scattered work.
Leaflet drops arent great but work comes from it.
Website is great i come high in google and find in my area there are very few window cleaners that show up on google so tend to pick up work.
Sometimes the calls are no good,not taking on terraced houses unless i have houses in them areas.
Pushing canvassing at the moment and telesales for a few hours a week.
I just want to see how it can take me.
I enjoyed the canvassing tonight.

hi gav

probably £70 pcm, id say on average. would need to backlog the account but last 4 bills have been £90.
nice weather always draws people out and onto internet, why because its easier than waiting for a knocker and leaflet and is spontaneous , people love pleasure...

the amount on adwords really is synced to leaflets , more you put out more hits you get = more cost.
the amount of one offs usually more than pay for the leaflets / adwords etc but you have to be prepared,
in the past i have not been prepared and suffered but you soon realise whats needed to make it happen.


is it worth it ???  against canvassing solely i will see shortly.

once new employee is settled i will do a 30k leaflet drop and canvass as much as possible to get a comparison on returns.

30k folded a4 to a5 is £1400 delivered.
canvassed last week for 6 hrs and got £150 new pcm.

website and google is deffo a plus , but as mick kent has showed anything is possible with the right ideas and leader.
