hi dean and welcome,
 the best way of getting customers is to go knock on doors, but if you get some flyers/business cards printed you can drop these aswell.
 best advise would be to practice your skills and dont under price your new jobs  just to get them, you will regret it in the long run.
 find out what the going rate is for window cleaning in your area.
 how long will it take to get the customers ?  it is alot harder in the current economic climate.
