January was very bad for us & February is the same as January..Looks like its getting worse in our area..Leaflet drop most of January...Recession hitting hard & customers who do ring say can you do it any cheaper?...Our lounge is only £25Richard & Tara
Richard & TaraWhen you say you leafleted these high end properties how "high" do you mean. Those at the top end rarely buy from leaflets. What you should be targetting is the mid market- nice middle class estates. The leafleting has got to be an ongoing campaign targetting the same properties over and over again.I'm afraid the £25 market is over subscribed and the people who buy at that price tend to be price conscious and will flit from cheap cleaner to cheap cleaner.I speak from experience as I made the same mistakes when I started and was gobsmacked when I trebled my prices and started to get work.We are in a so called depressed area in the North East but there are cleaners here with 65-80-90 quid minmum charges with multiple vans on the road.This work is there but you need to go out and get it and it doesn't happen overnight but takes a good few years.
