HI all I have benefit a lot from you all on this forum so my tips to you B)
My Method of Getting Customers /emoticons/ph34r.png
Leaflets: These can work but you will need to drop a very large number of them and with leaflets you don't get a feel for the area.
Advertising: I wouldn't recommend this until you're established because it costs money to advertise. With advertising you may get calls off customers whose houses are very awkward to clean and have been missed out by other window cleaners for a reason.
Sign writing your vehicle is the cheap method of advertising that may help you get a couple of new customers but I wouldn't count on it to get you a lot.

When you canvas you begin to sense the areas where there aren't other window cleaners, or areas where the coverage isn't total and you will be able to pick up a few new customers. Also, you can get valuable information on the competition from the people's doors you knock on, even if they already have a window cleaner, info like: Does he do the whole road/estate/close? You can save valuable time by finding out if a road is already taken
Tip: Be aware that a lot of houses front door bells don't work and you may have to knock if you don't get an answer
Tip: One great method that I find customers look for how clean the glass of their windows are. If you think they don't have one I then knock. This is a good method because it saves a lot of time
