Its been over 1 month now since i introduced a referral scheme on the back of my invoice.... Recommend a friend/family member/neighbour and get your next clean for free.

And i havent had 1 job from it... i really thought that it would of bought me a few customers in by now ! lol

Ive had 2 customers from yell.com in the past 2 weeks ! so yell.com is bringing me in more work then this referral scheme which is very strange ! Lol

 
Mine didn't either mate, I posted earlier that have 4 more from facebook ads put on last night and just got another so 5 /emoticons/tongue.png I really don't get why that don't work for ya but understand the referal. Was thinking of starting a bulk buy through facebook ie get me your whole st and I'll either give whole st discount or do you X amount of free cleans.

I think when advertising like this it's got to look attractive and grab attention.

I like, All thought the whole street is a bit far lol. This would work with the older people i think

 
I haven't put ads out for it yet Marc probs will be X amount of houses or something like that, but then a st with 100 houses I'll knock em all a quid off lol.

 
Great thing with that scheme is though H is that results haven't been there yet but when they do start trickling in you'll love it and it's a good idea that costs you nothing.

I may steal that idea lol. Ill probs go something like. Get 10 people in a street and Ill lower price by up to 1 pound. Ooo I like this, Ill probably advertise this tomorrow haha

 
I find that nothing like this seems to work unless you do it on mass. The advertising I've done the last two months is canvassing got me about 20, twitter got me 2, leaflets have got me 9. Networking has got me 1 and I've had 2 jobs passed on from another window cleaner. I've picked up a few by working to

 
A month ago if someone said to me u will get more wok through yell.com then your referral programme i would of said no way ! lol

 
I registered for a free listing and got nothing for months, then all of a sudden I got loads of work coming through and then a guy phoned me from yell asking if I wanted a paid listing so I took it out. Then nothing for months. I think it's the type of thing that will pay for itself. If you've got the money then I think its worth investing in these things as they will all bring you bits of work in that builds a bigger empire.

 
Just different for everyone, when, where, what, how, it's never going to be the same for 2 people.
I agree I've leafleted areas and not had a bean then canvassed the area a few months later and been told they were desperate. I was told " You should put some leaflets through the doors, you'd get load around here." I thought to myself 'I did and nobody phoned' I've leafleted and leafleted the same area once with loads of big houses and got nothing then one day I bumped into a lady on her drive and she asked me to come the next day. She had a list in her hand of her neighbours who she had canvassed for me. Did I give her a free clean, no coz I'm a tight ass!
