Flyers and loads of door knocking. Make sure you do a pukka job each time and the word will soon get about.

never rush in the erly days-a lot of customers are lonely and a 10 minute chat can reap more customers . besides you have all the time in the world and be sure you have WINDOW CLEANER +your number on your car windows-i raked in no end of work from that.

Wear a simple uniform, have a shave and look smart! If you look good, people will think you are! You don't want to look like the local ' Rag man window cleaner', puts people off. Sounds 'old fash' advice, but believe me it works!
