[Sapphire Window Cleaning]

is there a code of ethics for canvassing, what if they allready have a window cleaner, do you try and compete or walk away.

Just ask them are they happy with him?
If there are then leave it at that, if not then ask them if they would be interested in a professional quotation.

I think MB is right. They both have their place.   A month ago I put 12000 leaflets out, mostly through newspapers. A got calls mostly for Conservatory cleaning, carpet cleaning. Which is ok. But less for window cleaning, which was suprising.
Canvassing is the quickest way to go, by far, for window cleaning. But I have never tried it for carpet and uphostery cleaning yet. So do not know on thast issue.

Both are useful marketing tools. Then their is the tool of word of mouth too

The deciding factor I rekon is time .... if a newbie like me with nothing but time then canvass is way to go however when I have a big customer base then time becomes more of an issue
