I have set-cleaning days, take payments by internet bank transfer ( do not go and collect)....and of course I supply bucket loads of my stunning wit on each and every clean...

I think that any one-off "add ons" are counter productive.  Our business thrives on repeat orders.  The more repeat jobs you have, the more secure your future income is.  We concentrate on signing up as many regular jobs as possible.  Any extras are only done if we have a couple of spare hours (not very likely)

Ah......might have got hold of the wrong end of the stick there....benefits as part of the regular service?  Of course.  Bit difficult to be original, though.  We clean conservatory gutters as a routine, and offer collect/SAE or electronic transfer as payment options.  A big feature we push is we have full identification details on all our paperwork, uniforms, vans etc.  Lots of "John...07891 234567" merchants round here

Ian Lancaster, that is one of the best things Ive heard on this forum!! The more time you spend doing one offs ( gutters etc ) the less time you can devote to your round or building up your round. Its the reason I dont actively offer any "extras!, Luke

Do any of you offer benefits to your regular customers, potential new customers? That separates you from your competitors.

I offer gutter cleaning, also fixing as there are so many new builds that are done wrong had one today bracket missing so causing problems. saying that I do would do any house guttering

[peter holley]

all my add on services ...gutters ...conservatory roofs etc ...are for my regulars....my main interest is regular wc custies

[pjulk]

I do the odd gutter or conservatory but they normally have to wait weeks for me to do it as im always busy.

And i only do this for my regular customers.

I have had a few ring lately saying they want a one of window clean doing i always say no im not interested in one off unless its huge.

[L.J.Thorpe]

must just be me then
i push gutters,fascia +soffits,con roofs as  extras
existing and one offs
i dont clean windows in rain(lets not start eh )
extras like this suit me fine
top dollar too

[Wayne Thomas]

How about choose a professional window cleaner instead of a dole brigade merchant who might just supplement his cheap window cleaning price by burgling you when you're out to fuel his addictive drug habit except on a Thursday morning when he has to sign on??
