Apparently the new marketing strategy for window cleaners is posting emotional stories about how they spent 4 hours knocking doors and everyone was horrible to them… then asking Facebook for sympathy work.
I would try that myself… but honestly I haven’t even bothered canvassing lately.
Main reasons being:
• I’m getting older and lazier
• The weather can’t make its mind up
• Most people are out when you knock anyway
• And the rest answer the door mid-tea, holding a baby that’s just filled its nappy while the dog tries to escape past your legs.
Truth is, nobody really wants a bloke randomly appearing on their doorstep while they’re cooking sausages and arguing with the kids.
So instead of pretending I’ve been traumatised by door knocking, I’ll just say this:
If you need windows cleaning, gutters clearing, or a driveway blasting, that’s what we do.
Company: Direct Cleaning
No sob story.
No violins.
No “please help a small business survive”.
Just trying to avoid ruining my new trainers walking round estates knocking doors for 4 hours like a lost Jehovah’s Witness.
If you need something cleaning, give us a shout.If not, enjoy your tea in peace without me standing on the doorstep making things awkward.
