I'm going to give away a free CLX with every first clean so they can do their own.

I think its a good idea i hate doing insides and refuse to do them unless i get a verey good price for it. He is going to charge double for forst clean and spend £2.50 on some inside kit for customer to use, he could use that in he's pitch at the door( "we charge double for first cleans as will take a lot longer than maintance cleans but as a special promotion im giving you a free inside cleaning gift") . Im sure the customers will respect him as they are getting a free gift out of it and will defo less be likely to mess him about. most window cleaners dont charge double first clean.
An average £10 job but first clean its £20 take off the £2.50 for internal window stuff and he still earns £17.50 for a first clean. Us other cleaners are only getting £10 and the have a higher risk of it being a 1 off causing an under charged customer. Id rather get £17.50 than £10 on a first clean.
Good idea if it works, can only try.

Another way to look at it is most of us charge double for insides. By just spending £2.50 you are getting out of haveing the hassle and grief of doing them yourself and still get an extra £7.50.

I also think it is a good idea, and I am a carpet cleaner... And let me tell you why..

As carpet cleaners we often (not all of us and not always) give a good customer or a new customer a bottle of spotter, it is own lable spotter ( I make mine on water decals and print them off and put them on a 250ml bottle) this serves 2 purposes.....

1. it stops them using vanish 1001 etc on stains on their carpets.
2. it is a permanent business card in their house under the sink.

This increases the chance of customer loyalty, and as also mentioned by someone else... Customers like things for free.

So in this instance as a free gift for a first clean it is excellent, and after the 3rd clean maybe you could refill the bottle for them..... After all how much does this water cost?? and how valuable is a loyal good paying customer??

I like Mick Kent's post. If you are canvassing it is much harder to sell the double first clean price, but the "we charge double for first clean as it takes longer and we give you a free inside window cleaning kit" is a fantastic way of softening the blow.
