Mark, I'm just being impatient as usual.... If your leaflets are anything to go by, I think they're worth waiting for and I'll be using DP again and again!

I dont really have any competition Shaun, there was 2 other reputable cleaners in Halifax,  i think one used to post on here.I havent seen or heard anything of either of them for at least 6 months so im not sure if they are still trading.There are Chem dry and Rainbow guys quite local but dont affect what we do.I like to work on £40 an hour when cleaning and spend 25 hours a week cleaning, i take leaflets out 2 hours aday with the wife so an average day is 7 hours, Mon-Fri.Mark

Aren't there any silly priced cleaners?

Shaun

[markpowell]

To be honest im not sure, there is someone in YP offering lounge £16, Full 3 bed house inc oven for £80.
Not sure if they are based Halifax or Bradford. We never get leaflets through tho.

Leaflets are underated but just a ball ache getting them out and keeping motivated, if I had a reliable source I'd do leaflets and keep local but the book fills with customers so mustn't grumble.

Shaun

[clinton]

Same as shaun i need motivation and am now leafleting the houses where am working

[Shaun_Ashmore]

That's it Clinton you could offer them a more competitive quote then the one you have already given them.

Good you're getting out there Clinton. If you do the same things, you get the same results. I read that somewhere.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Comfort zone that's what we get into, leafleting, adverts, same customers, same prices.

Fear is Your Friend

Oh that's getting too deep for a weekday.

[clinton]

Maybe we have had it too good then for us established guys as its def harder to get new work nowadays.

Dont know how the newbies get on with new work

[Ian Gourlay]

Mark

How do you classify a lounge

To Some people a Lounge can be 30feet X14feet

Would you do that for £40

Or is the word Average your get out clause

Very nice attractive post card

[clinton]

The good thing about marks post card witht the prices is it stops the price shoppers and stops the wanting a carpet cleaned for 25 pounds

Ian

That's one very small lounge or did you mean metres?
