I am a window cleaner/ jet washer, but i find it hard to drum up jet washing business. 99% of my jet washing comes from my window cleaning customers.

How do you guys find enough work for full time jet washing?
Ive tried yellow pages, but i only really had enough work to pay for the ad!
Is the answer flyers? I know with window cleaning flyers are usually a waste of time.

So what would you guys suggest?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Hello, what type of jetwashing work do you want ? If you want drive and patio cleaning work you need the right gear then leaflets do work

[Ged]

my experience is leaflets are not cost/ time effective, sometimes  less than one job per thousand but does raise your profile in the area. advert in local press effective but expensive. door knocking, time consuming but effective. most work this year for me has been recommends, repeats which is great. after a few years you get well known and this generates income. to do this full time you really need to be looking at the commercial sector as well i would think and diversify. you can't rely on domestic patio/ drive cleaning to see you through the winter. also the weather this year has put people off. in south yorkshire we have had rain of some sort on most days since the middle of may, culminating in the floods.


just my thoughts

I am finding flyers very hit and miss. I have just had 3000 delivered at £25 per k thats £75 Plus cost of 3k flyers (full colour)
It has got me 2 jobs directly totaling £270 plus a passer by whilst working small job £30
I was just looking into my flyer being to much if you know what I mean, but may well be it's cos it's a flyer at the end of the day

does any one have an example of a flyer they use?
I want to get some done, and some ideas would be great please guys
