Handing out flyers this week?
« on: December 27, 2012, 09:15:58 pm »
Hello,

Would it be worth me handing flyers out this week it being just after Christmas? What are you previous experiences with handing out flyers at this time of year.

Cheers

Only reason is because whenever I have mentioned to everyone I'm starting a window cleaning business EVERYONE has told me its the wrong time of year!

There are no right or wrong times of year to start a window cleaning business; just so long as you work at it you'll succeed.
Come and talk dirty to us!!!

What you mean by hand them out? U mean post them or hand them out in shopping centres.


I  would say they get dirtier in winter

Get out there and crack on. You'll get a far better response though if you knock.

'Scuse me madam, sorry to disturb you during this festive period in the calendar', tip you cap and tug on your forelock, 'but, would you have a regular window cleaner?' Wait for response and if possible get you foot in the door so to speak by suggesting you offer her a quote.
