[A@R WINDOWCLEANING]

Wow cleaning insides for free !!!!!! NO WAY DONT DO IT .

[keyser soze]

guess its  marketing similar to the guy who advertises upvc windows you know the one (you buy one you get one free i said you buy one you get one free) if you ever have a quote of this firm then cost is double +  for the ones you pay for to cover the ones you dont ...  strategic marketing.... it probably will create interest

people are very very suspicious of anything that is "free"

yesterday at a very busy car boot sale near me, a lady had a big sign that anything in "this box" (with an arrow pointing) is free...

The box was still full at the end of the day...........

Probably there was a reaon why it was free.....

Yes to get new customers i believe.

Not much point in having customers that don't pay.

bad idea IMO.INSIDES CAN TAKE TWICE AS LONG TO CLEAN!!also if its a first clean outside windows will also take twice as long(at least)to get them up to scratch.

you ll only attract pennypinchers which is one thing you dont want in this game!!

plus you ll have to charge one hell of a price first clean to make any money!!

i think youd have to be realy desperate to do this, and if you offer customers something for free doesnt mean they will stay loyal to you after youve done all the hard work, its surprisising how they can soon forget the freebys youve done for them if someone comes in a bit later with a simillar offer or a cheaper quote, there are some loyal customers, but not that many,

Cleaning  insides isn't difficult if you can use a squeegee.  It just takes an awful long time - moving ornaments, curtains, blinds, and even furniture, and then putting it all back again plus as many have said there is a much higher risk of damage including muddy bootprints on the nice cream carpet   Best to get a disclaimer signed first, or tell them to move everything out of the way.

We always charge double for the insides, i.e. if the job is £20, the insides are £40 making a job total of £60 - Always spell it out to the customer so there's no doubt, if you just say 'we charge double for the insides,' they'll expect in and out done for twice the outside price :

you could try offering your clients either a deduction of there cost for a number of new customers or even free clean  (get me 3 new customers get a free clean) but make sure you have terms that customers must be signed up for year but if you have the numbers it could pay off
