Hi All,

Reports are coming in from all over the country that good times are here again for window cleaning businesses. Here’s an email that I received recently that pretty much just sums up what I’ve been hearing:

Hi Steve,

I’ve been thinking of writing you (or calling) lately to update you on the successes we are having at the moment in the window cleaning business!!

Some interesting stuff is happening. For some reason I am unusually busy right now and I know it to be a number of factors. All those post cards I distributed (almost 5000 thus far), have surprisingly remained in possesion of some for a good few months before calling I am getting quite a few calls now from prev. distributions which is nice. I have also coupled my efforts with some advertising in the local newspaper (14 weeks worth) and I think this is helping people become aware of my business as well as to trust it. I know of some customers now who had received a postcard and also saw the ad in the paper and called me directly. Others have simply chosen to go with us because they liked the way we presented the estimate even though slightly more than the competition.

Hi All,

This morning I received an email that I thought might benefit you. It was basically a question asking for some help with one of his web pages. I won’t reveal his website since I don’t have permission to do so, but the web page he was asking about contains exact pricing for “small”, “medium”, and “large” houses. So that sets the stage. Here’s the email:

Hey Steve,
I want to change the service section of my site to something different . i would still like to give ballpark prices but just want to make it different and improve on it some. Anyway just thought you might have an idea or two. im a bit stumped and just wanted a second head in it if possible.
thanks,

Dave

Hey All,

I was asked recently whether I did any door knocking for window cleaning prospects. I may have been asked this before and placed my answer on this blog, but if not, here are my thoughts on it again. )

In my opinion, I really wouldn’t recommend knocking on doors looking for business. It’s not a matter of whether it works or not. It just flat out takes too long to do. You can spend all morning long and end up talking to 20 prospects? 40 prospects? Maybe a few more than that, but not much more for sure.

Hi Folks,

Just a blog post letting everyone know that you can download the new web templates here. Early this morning I completed the instructions on how to turn the web templates into a completed website, so everything is now ready to be downloaded. If you follow the step by step instructions that I’ve provided, you’ll have your website online in no time.

Within the instructions, I show you where to download 2 software products (one to work with the web pages and one to work with the graphics) that you need to use, but the good news is that both of them are free.

Hey Everyone,

Hope you’re all doing well. I wanted to make a quick post today to let you know that I’m adding 4 web site templates to my window washing package in the next few days, so if you purchased my window washing program, you’ll be able to download these web templates for free.

A web template is basically a premade design that you can edit to specifically fit your business and turn it into a complete website. You can buy web templates from all over the web ranging in price from $35 to $50 or more. But they’re not usually focused on window cleaning businesses.
