I  don't push for ten weekly even though i charge more for ten weekly i just ask them what they want normally they ask for monthly which i just tell them i do 5 weekly.

I'm hoping to use jog post next year or later this year depends on how much spare time i have which is somthing that i am quickly running out of

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"

I always work out my leaflet target to a return of 0.2% per thousand That way i always know that i will hit my targets

I always get more than 2 per thousand on average 

Good luck Paul

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

[Goldoak cleaning specialists]

The best way to gain new customers is to go and knock the door and explain what your offering.

Its all the most challenging. Finding the balance of the 2 and knocking 30/40 doors a week WILL get your round huge.

[Crystal-clear]

guys who are on about knocking im very well aware on the subject of knocking and canvassing i have built full rounds this way...., i would like to add leafleting as well have u 2 guys seen lees video about leafleting?

[Goldoak cleaning specialists]

Just stating thr obvious as so many fail to see

[Crystal-clear]

anyway, im intrested because when a customer picks the phone up it means they really want to use you,canvassed customers can be hard work to convince for long term
i really hope its something like 50 cleans for 25k, lowest figure someone said was 40 calls that aint too too bad , maybe 30 cleans what would be a nigtmare is say 15 calls and 10 cleans now thats badddddd , im liking what soapy said 1% callls and 0.06 clean or vin about 70 cleans these are intresting !

Leaflets a waste of money? I disagree, I have never canvassed a single customer (not because I think it wont work) but we now have 1267 customer soley from leafleting. Must be doing something right!!

[Crystal-clear]

cool ,ste  so what do you think the minium calls/cleans i should get 50? canvassing has been my main sorce for ages im kinda steping into the unknown here ! well not so much as we have this wonderful forum where people share responce rates!

[steve rix]

For every 1000 leaflets we put out I would expect to get between 3-7 customers. It doesnot happen overnight, we get responses from leaflets dropped over 6 months ago. I know we are in a rural location and everybody knows everyone else and I'm sure people ask their friends if they know of us, but leafleting works for us. It is a simple a4  thing I knocked up my self. If you want a copy just ask

What ever you do don't send them out with a local paper you might as well burn them for the return you get 

[Perfect Windows]

We had almost exactly 1/3 the return from local papers compared to solus delivery.

However, they cost almost exactly 1/3 as much to deliver, so it was just as good on the basis that matters, namely cost per customer.

Some one say something about my try the 2 monthly thing vin what do you think ;?

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.

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.
