After posting 100 leaflets how many replies would you expect ? I found i cover an estate much faster with leaflets than knocking.

Estates are the easier prey of all - i bet you'll find more than 5 window cleaners in the area already..

in response to your question, i reckon you'll be lucky if you get one call from 100 flyers.

[C.C.S.]

very hard to say this days.it depends really on the area.i delivered myself about 2000-3000 lately and had just 1 call.i did another 600-700 today but i saw 3-5 vans in the area and i don't think i'll get much response .very hard days.

How do you get work then ?
What areas do you look for ?
When i got work previously i just came across an estate and canvassed it and built it up slowly over 8-12 months

 Do exactly the same, as you did with the round, that you sold for 30K....... shouldn't be a problem

i'm now looking for new areas.where i didn't use to advertise .it's only been like this for the last few months the previous years has been alllright .use to get 10-12 calls per drop .but the days has changed many window cleaners lately and especially the summer boys.some of my customers said someone door knocked and offered do the whole house for £5 and i charge them £10.

I wanted to get work alot quicker
Think the best bet is to price low - Offer a 50% discount for the first clean then put the prices up after a few months

Yeah but i went in with a good price - Like GCWS said the estates im looking on now has around 4 window cleaners so im best undercutting them - getting the custom then bumping the prices up after a few cleans.
Wanted to ask how everyone else canvassed

What we do is, run our window cleaning business and not try to run a construction business at the same time, then we take the 30K from the window cleaning business we've sold and go to Spain for the winter

Sorry, delaying tactics

You're asking advice on what you've already proved worked for you.

TWO incomes are better then one

So you are asking advice about what you have ( apparently ) already done 

[Platinum NW]

thats what the forums about-asking advice-the reason im here is im trying another method of canvassing LEAFLETS . was asking how you guys canvass and what areas you look for if you say housing estates are easy pickings
