might try canvassing some streets that have no rear access, see how it goes
I charge any house i do £10 for front only and try my best to target areas where its all victirian terrace where there is no rear access, for the few where there is access i charge £15/20 for whole house all depending on area, i do loads in charlton/greenwich/blackheath where all roads near on have rows and rows of victorian terrace, a lot of the work i gain on these roads is from sold boards, some roads i have as many as 8 fronts that i can bang out in 20/30 mins from same spot which is why for me targeting fronts is a win win.I recomend it to anyone who is building there customer base to give it a go with targeting front only cleans instead of avoiding them like the plaige as there is stacks of this type of work out there as most wc's want full front and back houses.
i can definately see how its easier and better money doing fronts, just thought if i tell a customer i can only do fronts, they will leave me for a window cleaner that can do whole house
Judging by the amount of views against responses either no one is willing to let out some kind of secret or their is a load that dont have a clue . Personally i think just dropping a good leaflet in different areas every 3 months brings a steady flow of custys , Just know your areas , Have a visible identity such as a signed vehicle with logo along with leaflets etc and push it so you are the stand out window cleaner in your area .
