I did a few free cleans for a couple of long standing(20+ years) elderly customers of mine who ve not been well......it felt good....I wouldn't do 50 though!

Doesn’t make sense ? Your worried about people losing their jobs so you give free cleans to frontline staff & pensioners ( who arent losing jobs or pension). How is that helping people who are losing their jobs?

Its not me but they're local to me.
Guess its a good bit of marketing for them in local rag.

its good PR.

well done for giving it a go, and like you say, it must have felt good.

50 aint so bad if its split amongst a team of cleaners

be interesting if it turns into increased business.

50 cleans is nothing if they have a lot of staff. It's all marketing at the end of the day, do you think they could care less about helping the community. Of course not.

come on! that's a little bit too cynical adam!

it is entirely possible to do some thing that is good for your community (and makes you feel good) AND it be good for business too.

if you flip it... if you're gonna spend on advertising why not tie it into something that is good for the community too? and which makes you feel good about yourself, and your team feel good too. we all need a bit of that warm community feeling at the moment dont we?

if all businesses did that wouldn't it be great?

I wonder if the regular window cleaners for the chosen 50 are "feeling that warm community feeling"?

[swanson]

Should of given the free cleans to people who have been made redundant.

Everyone is different and im just going to be honest.... i must be a horrible person because doing 50 cleans for free wouldnt make me feel good at all 


On the lead generation that i offer for window cleaners *cough* you are very welcome, i`ll get the rest over to you by the end of the week.

Free cleans = free advertising.
They’ve claimed the government handout anyway so aren’t losing out either.
Seems to be a window cleaner thing that’s been done before. Remember the free cleans for nurses? I think Nathan did that one. One guy near me did it too.

Personally I think it’s got bugger all to do with feeling good about it 😉

[swanson]

Agree
Free cleans I don’t get it

[Richard Groves]

Checked their FB page. It was free front window cleans. They have 4 vans and were all done in one day whilst also raising money for local hospice. Good bit of pr and free advertising  for them plus money raised for a local good cause. Granted , it was a bit of a gimmick to drum up additional business and some free advertising but a win win all round.   Personally I think they came up with a good idea.
