i dont really bother anymore these days.word of mouth,recommendation and walk ups while working.these customers generally are much better and often turn into good solid customers.

the only time i canvass is when a customer i used to clean for moves and the new owners move in.

Just with canvassing you can expect people to change minds or cancel cos sometimes they were talked into it, or put on the spot leaflets less leads but mostly more serious
Personally I prefer canvassing and leafleting together leaflet an area to soften them up then knock
