Hi Pete,

Have you tried any new estates being built near you? Contact the site agent or show house to get your foot in the door - literally! Remember to ask the site agent where his next job's going to be once that one's finished.

Look in the property pages of your local paper for the new ones opening up.  It might be worth going in at a cheap price to keep the show house sparkling, if you can get the nod for when buyers are taking on their new house.

Thankyou - that'll be a fiver  ;)
You're a Scottish window-cleaner? Licensed or not, get yourself along to www.slwcn.org right now !

Hi Pete.

I struggled a bit at first, why don't you try a leaflet on a hospital notice board?
I did (my wife works there) and got around 20 new customers all over town. From those 20, when I started doing them (always clean new customers on a Saturday) I picked up at least three times that on each street.
On one street, I started with one house and now, six months later I do over 30. All from a free poster!

Oh and I've always found I had poor results from leafleting.

Keep trying.
