Advertising before setting up?

Are you already a window cleaner or another service and can offer to existing customers? 

Thats what I've just done. Though I had the backup that, if interest wasn't enough I have a subcontractor I could just pass the work too. However the advert went well and I'm having a gutter vac delivered this week. I just sent out a text message using an app called Reach. It allowed me to copy in a Excel file with all the customers on it. Was £2.50 for that ability (I know, splashing out). 

Here's my message:

GUTTER CLEANING
The leaves are starting to fall, so next week we will be carrying out gutter cleaning. Once finished, we provide photos of the gutters so you can be confident you have received a thorough job! Contact us today for a quote & to book your spot.

Thank you,

personally I'd say no as you'll have enquiries you can't forfill as they come in. 

Get the equipment understand it's operation and components then advertise
