out of 1 car boot, picked up just over £1000 worth of work.

done one stall at a fate and picked up a few jobs

My other half usually has a stall selling our unwanted stuff and puts a pile of leaflets on the table & also everytime someone buys something she puts a leaflet in the bag  :)

Had quite a few jobs this way

There's a window fitting company in our town that has a market stall every week.
We spoke some time back-said he had never got a single job on the day but was his best source of advertising as he chatted, no hard sell etc on the day and people rang later on. He was pretty sure it was cause of the no pressure side.
He lived it too.
