Do you think you can leave leaflets on car windscreens in supermarket car parks and retail shopping parks or would we get in trouble for this by the local council,
as anyone done this
Thanks

how do you know where each car is from?
Better to choose an area close to home and target that by door knocking. At least that way you have a better chance of finding a few customers in the same area.
Focus on the area's/estates you already do. Knock a couple of neighbour's doors each side of your current customer and across the road.

I would of thought the main problem with doing this is that you cant choose the area or type of property you want to target.
Also you will probably get a call from the council/supermarket after stroppy car owners have chucked your leaflets on the ground!

Beat me by half a minute Spruce! :D

Are you saying he'd be off his trolley because he couldn't check out his potential customers' homes till he'd seen them.

In theory it's a good idea, as people generally use their local supermarket, so your target 'territory' would be reasonably compact I would think.
The potential problem would be as has been said that if they are discarded then you may be liable for littering.

I think this has all been stopped now so you'll do half the car park and than the management will be out and have you remove the lot

i use to do them regular ;D , but find that the customers are from all over the place really.
so give you a bit of a geographical nightmare.
thru the doors of houses is best m8

If this isn't the case then yeah go for it.
The customers won't be any further that 10 mile out either side and in my opinion people who aren't willing to travel 10 mile away from base aren't taking their business seriously.

Thanks for replys, yes i know they could call from all over the place but what im thinking is i could go to area were the call came from , then leaflet the street or estate or im on two minds just go and ask the manager if it would be ok to leaflet just dont want council on me back as im only a year in to window cleaning

Personally i think it is a bad idea as pointed out before it is better to target the areas , estates , or streets were you really want to work ,
Gaining work in those areas will give you the work you really want and will hold onto giving you a good solid and well earning round . Mike
