Just leafletted an area , a crescent with closes off of it .

Houses range from small terrace to mostly 3-4 bed semis and some bigger semis and detached .

Nearly every house had dirty windows !

So have I found a gold mine or a place where people are not fussed about their windows ?

Wait and see I guess ! Lol

i leafleted a area like this all dirty windows  not a single reply " happy in their own filth "

Yep got excited and then nothing ..

If the jones's haven't got a window cleaner they ain't interested..

That thought did occur to me but worth a try !

Plenty of flash motors on the driveways but doubt that means much .

Hey, if you need the work offer to do one owner (in the best position) for free on a Saturday morning. You may be surprised just how many rush out when they see you working.
I would not recommend working for nowt normally but some people just need to see you there.

I was going to suggest the same. Take a guess as to which house 'the jones' live in and do a free trial.

Love to see fellow shiners thinking out of the box. Fantastic idea. Could be the catalyst needed to spark them into action. I would put money on picking up most of the road if you implement this strategy.

knock em you will be suprised how many you will pick up in an hour.Done this myself a couple of times last year, no response to leaflets.knocked them and picked nearly half the street each time.Then once you have cleaned them a couple of times you will pick up a couple more.

People with dirty windows dont want a window cleaner.

Go after the clean windows

Canvassed a posh newish estate near to me this morning all with posh motors ... 500k houses which for around here is pretty much top end ........ quite a few with clean windows who were still knocked but all had windie already and a few right mingers who also said they had a windie already  (fibbers) guess the middle classes are suffering.

Think I will give the leaflets a week and then go knocking if no reply from leaflets by then .

Thanks for the advice lads :-)
