well so many mixed feelings on re leaflets or knocking......i get marketting phone calls nearly every evening. i get peed of with them. i sure everyone would...so do people really want the front door knocking to??
The question is, do you feel comfortable knocking? If you do, get out there and knock, take some leaflets with you, the ones that are not in, are not happy with their cleaner, or want to think about it, leave them a flyer. You will always get a few customers who are off, just be polite and move on to the next door, even if they say, i know the my neighbours, or the whole street wont be intrested! You will get far more customers from knocking than from just posting leaflets. Ive just had (last Friday) 4000 leaflets delivered by a company, not had a phone call yet, but i will keep you updated.
