Do you think this is a good idea ?
It might mean a month of working for free but you do this when you buy a round getting your money back.
Would I be wasting my time or is this a good way of building up a customer base ?
-
If you had 500 custies already, would you do first cleans for free then?
-
think about it. if you give the first clean free how many will have that then cancel. loads it will attract the scroungers.
i have thought about this several times, heres my idea, pay for first clean the 50% of next 2 cleans
-
whats to stop them having the first clean then cancelling?
-
You'll get lots of work mate....
then lots of cancellations when it comes to them paying for the next clean.
offer other promo's such as rec a friend and get 1/2 price clean or 10% off a conny roof clean if they
sign up today.
i charge double for 1st cleans - you'll be surprised how long they take compared to a reg clean

Thats if they really want a regular cleaner Leeroy, they may just have you to do all the hard work. Personally mate I wouldn't do it. Charge more for first clean, do a fantastic job, sorted.

same here
we charge an extra £4 for a first time clean, plus a £5 fee to open your account on our books which is knocked of the price of their 4th clean
we have been messed about far to much in the past so
we have found ppl that were out to mess us about say "no thanks then" and all genuine custies pay up no problem
-
Thanks for the advice.
I dont think I will go with this idea then. Your right they prob will all be knockers and cancel.
-
Go for it. You'll go broke , more for the rest of us.
-
there is a "troll" on here who offers a free 2nd clean. can you guess who? well if it helps him get his £75k in then....
-
yeah i would not advise doing first clean for free at all! for all the reasons already mentioned!
-
dont listen to every one on this forum go with what you feel might work ...
for what its worth i done it and it worked really really well....when i started out the way looked at it if i had spare time i was giving it to these customers.. And not one messed about. not one cancelation..give it a go find out for yourself...maybe even second clean free
-
It may work but it depends on what areas youre working, some estates around here would take full advantage of you, youd be busy but skint!
-
have you got any gobby birds on yr round
say to em yeah
get me ten new customers on yr estate
il do yr for free but each new custy charge
a quid over yr normal price does work ;D
-
thats another one that i did ..find me a new custy and get a free clean..have a lady who trys to find me work so she can get her free cleans..thats from 3 years a go when she got her first free clean ..she also got me a pvc clean this summer...

-

family r paying for it lol ;D

get some loyalty cards from vistaprint. offer 25% per customer recomended payable on completion of new job.

If you don't value your work/time the customer never will.

whats the difference between how you get new customers. a loaylty scheme does not under value your time or work.
there are some companies bigger than us doing it it works for them

Loyalty comes from time, surely.
You or anyone else can give away first or any cleans you like. I always charge for mine.

i have never done any first clean for free and never would!!
the only exception would be if my dear mum moved into a new place with filthy windows!! ;) ;D ;D
i usually charge extra for first cleans as well as they always take longer to clean.
