Forget fliers and forget advertising as it's big expense for very little gain.
People want to see who they're gonna be dealing with and who is going to be on their property and in some cases their homes.
Be prepared for some terse people but in my experience these are the very small minority. The worse that people can say is "no"...and you do get used to "no".
When I did shed loads of canvassing my usual average was 3 "yes" per hour (with the recession that may well have changed)...but think about this...
If you canvass for 5 hours and pick up say 10 customers who agree bi-monthly @ a tenner a go that's 60 cleans a year for £600. Canvass for 30 days and suddenly you're earnings (theoretically) are £18k per annum.
I know of few businesses that can give a headline profit of £18k within one month from a starting point of zero.
If you're gonna rely on advertising and leaflets then you can knock a 0 off my figures.
Lastly don't believe the guys on here who say: "Don't price too cheap as you'll regret it later on".
My ethos: Price keenly...get the work on board and money on yer hip. You can always dump the underpriced stuff at a later date...thus allowing the Newbie to continue the circle of life
