Hi all.
I started up around 4 months ago and really enjoying it.
One thing I would say to others thinking about starting up is spend the extra money on a lighter longer pole! I got the SLX 47 and it gets heavy and very wobbly. My SLX 27 is perfect however.
Around where I am people are not used to regular window cleaning and I was wondering whether to change my marketing so that I give them a price for a one off clean, but then put on the offer that it will be X amount for regular cleaning (applying a discount equal to a normal clean without the first clean extra). At the moment I am doing the opposite i.e. the offer has a 25% (going to increase that next year) frist clean extra applied.
I've had a cheeky bugger tell me he only wants to pay the regular cleaning amount before, clearly he wanted a one off clean.
I just wonder if psychologically it might attract people to regular cleaning as it's a "discount" and stop people being put off by the first clean "extra". Then again I might be over thinking it! Business is going OK and I am getting some repeat business now who are booking back in to avoid the first clean extra charge.
