Printing 25,000 leaflets is a vote of the fear of knocking doors some have.

Trust me, if fear were an issue I would employ someone to do it for me. I don't do it because I don't like it.

ic , the reason why i thought ill put this "take advantage of our popular 2 monthly cleaning schedule and loyal customer discounts" was just to give me an edge with the people who want it but know most work monthly im wondering if this sofens them up a bit or does it over complicate things as i know all what most customers think is "i want my windows cleaned"

Here goes: We offer 6-weekly and 12-weekly.  Most customers take 12-weekly.  That suggest a pent-up need for less frequent cleaning.  We don't live in a world of coal fires any more and people have noticed.

As usual, give them what they want.

Cheers vin yes this is what I learnt I personally think the monthly era has passed just like the fortnightly did , however loads of people still do monthly s so I see a big market

I have never read such nonsense as I dont knock because I dont like people knocking on my door. That just taking for granted that all customers are just like you. Have you ever sat and thought of the image we as window cleaners have  in the public `s mind.Being able to see the face of the window cleaner can just be the deciding factor in taking you on to clean there windows.This personal touch IMO is a very important in our game.
Spending good money to print and deliver leaflets is a waste of money. Talk to the customers is a very convincing way to rake in a work.I only knock and never come home empty handed.

Everything on this forums is black or white.

Leaflets are useless, knocking is useless.

Live and let live.  You've built up your round knocking, good on you.  Genuinely, good on you.

I've built up my round leafletting.  Very successfully, thank you.  Saying it's a "waste of money" is simply not true, given my experience.

Poor post this, where on here does it say knocking is useless I have only read that leafleting is useless? How come your the only window cleaner in Britain who's phone never stops ringing when you've been leafleting :-\

Sorry guys, this is all getting a bit silly and I apologise for bringing this guy on here.  He seems keen only to post about me, so if I drift off, he will too.

Cheerio for a bit.

20000 leaflets collected  ;D



will be 2 stone lighter after delivering all of these

nice secure tank and love the pole holder

hmmmmmm yup no excuse as got mate who can fit tanks and frames but van was only temp however now not temp so yes need to get sorted however there is a bulkhead in the van and its at least 2mm thick light gauge steel  ;) however seriously though there is a massive thick bar between me and the tank.

pole holder ... no not apologising for that  :) ... does the job in seconds and handy for holding filler hose at night when topping tank up.
