Main business is contract cleaning, which I hate.
Building up the carpet cleaning side as I enjoy it more, far less hassle for a start as I do it myself!!
My biggest interest is marketing, advertising and selling.
Sub-contract the windows out so know very little about it but obviously do notice window cleaning vans around with flashy signage and industry buzz words that mean little to Joe Public, I was just pointing that out  :-\
Have the same problem on carpet cleaning section where c/cleaners market to other carpet cleaners with our buzzwords like "micro splitters, truckmount, psi" etc  and not their target audience.

The explanation that LWC gave to the girl at the bank still left her confused and possibly lost a customer or more.

I am definitely off now  ;) :)

You stalking me Sean  :P ;D

I would just be promoting I am a window cleaner, I am reliable, honest, carry identification, how long I have been in business, friendly, local etc.
People just want their windows cleaned, adding how you do it into the equation is confusing and off putting in my (worthless :-\) opinion.

To us cleaning is our livelihood, to most it just a necessary evil, they want the best job they think they can get and they want reliability and no fuss.

Simon123, you might be doing something wrong  :P :)

My website name is advertised large on my van and the title says it all: "windowswashed". Couldn't be any clearer to Joe Public :)

If you mean me? then yes, always busy enough for my liking, thank-you. Could be rushed off my feet but I avoid certain types of properties and areas as I don't want to take a step backwards in moving forwards with better customers, properties and prices ;)
