its not too busy at mo at all ont the domestic front. , i was busier last year.

where do you advertise though?
Im in yell.com but i get nothing from my free listing, i was just wondering if it would be worth investing in it.

I want to make sure im throwing my money in the right direction, if at all.

i wasted 300 quid on a yell.com advert and got 2 enquiries in a year one of which did not get back to me.  word of mouth is good, leaflets.   its been a slow start to this year tho.

[Richy L]

so do you only do pressure washing?

I have about 7,000 leaflets to move still, although i only had one job from the others!!

does anyone have any tips?

[drive surgeon]

Try ringing round the large supermarkets they now like the local supplier why not the local small buisness trolly stands oil spills ect, take a look at there stores first see what needs cleaning .I sent 73 buisness letters out have had two replys one has got me two jobs ,one for the virgin group and the other one has invited me to a breakfast meeting with about 80 other buisness people have to stand up and sell what you do they in turn sell for you (networkin) not lookin forward to that but it has to be done .
It is tough out there but you have got to hang in there and do what it takes to keep going.
