 Mr Solubility. As a window cleaner you often intrude into people's personal space. Those people are usually elderly or women on their own. You go round the back of the house, you see through their windows, you know when they are not at home and where they keep the key to the gate hidden. They feel vunerable

Don't under estimate the value of honest and trustworthy.

Glossy leaflets, give an entirely different message which may work for some but don't write off as dull leaflets which are pitched deliberately at a different target.

Honesty is the most important factor i believe, people trust you to walk all over their property, they leave their gates unlocked for you. I'm sure half the difficulty in getting customers is because of this. Many will stick with the local or family cleaner because they know him, they trust him - even if he is crap! A big flashy van with ringing bells and steam puffing out won't sway these people i'm afraid.
