Plan a big campaign and make it happen

When I started out in this business, there was a definite Spring Clean mentality with easter being the focus. But society has changed and I feel that people who value the benefits of a clean home now maintain it to their standards all year long, and probably employ their own daily/weekly cleaners too. So, for me, there is no longer a Spring Clean rush.

Safe and happy cleaning
Ken

is it spring cleaning or is it just that spring coincided with the time they think the bad weather is over so they'll get things cleaned or perhaps it takes a couple of months to financially  catch up with all the Christmas spending, so spring is the time they have the spare cash to get things cleaned

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Derek you are sensible enough to know that if you advertise you will get more enquiries irrelevant of the time of year.

Always think when it does get to spring lighter nights and people notice things in there home and garden more

Not sure when easter is this year

It always picks up after march and april.

Derek

Do you do patios? 

[derek west]

mike
haven't you got better things to do like planning your next holiday to thailand and seeing how many lady boys you can pull.  or with the absence of your picture, maybe its pay for.

[Mike Osbourne]

Derek

Yes but Derek you can always send them back, you don't have to bury them.

[clinton]

 

[derek west]

mike
pink salmon or burying people under patio's is something i know nothing about.
so you carry on sending your bangkok chick boys back and i'll stick to pushing my add campaign this spring.

Come on Derek,

You blow hot and cold. Sometimes you like giving out a bit of banter, then get offended when your not in the mood. Sorry if you don't like it, you know I was joshing for God sake.
