HI ALL
CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME IF THE WATER FED POLES ARE USED AS WIDELY IN THE EU AS THEY ARE IN THE UK
IM TRYING TO JUDGE MY TARGET MARKET FOR A NEW PRODUCT AND COULD DO WITH SOME FEED BACK.

Very rare in the North East US as well
Our domestic windows dont set up well for wfp and commercially we prefer cherry pickers ,bosuns chair,ladders etc

I have a mate in Holland and his brother has a WFP system. Competition is fierce in Holland. If you go canvassing in someone elses area there you'll have someone come round with a baseball bat to your house.

And if you want to buy a round you dont pay x2 you have to payx10 monthly worth!!!

The trad window cleaners also go up to 3rd\4th floors on ladders.

We have it good here.

Not had a baseball bat scenario and the average sell price is 6 or 7 times the monthly worth and lots of my work is from window cleaners that will not do 3rd or 4th floor.

However I do know that in Holland (the west) it is very fierce there....not so much in the south-east where I am.

Cheers
Dave.

My mate is from Den Haag. When he tried canvassing they did come round knocking on his door threatening him.

He himself does ridicously high work.
6 or 7 times is still twice as much as we would pay here.
