The problem is that people read the prices on these flyers, and when you give them an honest price they think you are ripping them off.
I live near Holywell so it could be the same lot working in Broughton.
I know that most of these operators Wise up eventually, they usually move to another area and charge higher. By then of course the damage has already been done.
One lot quoting silly prices, and another lot guaranteeing to be lower.
They could well be employing doleites you just don't know.
where you fr dai the company was called clear view fr holywell ran by a john ???? im in wrexham C.C.C. Window Cleaners

This lot is called First Choice, I think your right about Clearview, although I know a guy that works on his own that trades as Clearview too.

I read their advert earlier and was sitting with the misses asking her the same thing. Could not come to a conclusion. Lol.

Punctuation in the advert is dismal to say the best. Something I personally think you should always get right when advertising in business.

Not meaning to sound to opinionated either.

With regards to the cost, Had leaflets like this going around here a while back. No where near as cheap as that. These where gardeners "Flawless" I think, advertising £6 per house, £8 for a 4 bed detached if I remember correctly.

Only them that will fail in the end.

Although the point about potential customers thinking we are ripping them off. I have found my best and least problematic customers are the ones I may have charged a good price for myself, and maybe on some overcharged. They like my service and have never had one problem. The ones that moaned to start are always a bit funny and the ones that moan about sinister things..
