emote.img?ID=8424 well I have found something out and not sure what to do about it. I went door to door and put out 500 post cards, and to my amazement  about 65% or more of the homes are summer homes. so far I got 6 jobs out of it. I ran an add in the paper and got two this wk. any other Ideas. hmmm? wink

Just keep going away. Results are not immediate. You'll get phone calls from a flier or card you left with a person 2 years from now - I know I still do. 

Get a few yard signs made. Do some corner houses in a neighborhood saturated with dirty roofs for a discounted rate.

I'd only hit summer homes on the weekend.. catch them while they're home.

I like those Ideas, I mean I think I left about 300 postcards and never talked to a single person. my other issue is most of my phone calls are for moss cleaning, no one here realizes that the stains are algae and eating up there roofs. I think I might run an informative add in the newspaper for a couple of wks.

Did you know on all 500 doors or just drop off a card? How long did it take to hit 500?

Every little bit helps.

well I kinda did a trial run. I mean I picked three different areas and parked my truck on a street and went door to door, I mean I went to every door. then moved on. if the people weren't home I left the post card in their door. it could of taken 2 or 3 days but I did a bunch then got a job then did some more. its been about two wks of this.

Clean one or two, that's the best way to show the neighbors that it can be cleaned. 

Clean them on a pretty Saturday, so most people will be home and will see you.

Think of this as a 1-2 punch. You left the advertising.. next week they'll see you doing the work.. then they call.

When people see you cleaning their neighbors home, it automatically builds trust.

Oh, and if you give a discount to somebody in the neighborhood, show the going rate on your estimate, followed with how much you're giving off. Explain that you'd like to give them a discount to show the neighbors that their roof can be cleaned, and that they can benefit as well, but the price is private.

Target the right people. Do some research on the area you want to target. I go dropping off flyers on a sunday for 1-2hrs only. I have my 2gpm dele hooked up with 3/8 hose and 2 5gal buckets with some love inem. I knock then hook and offer a free demo. Put the love right on the front of the house where they will see it every day. My main goal is to "plant a seed" then i let it grow for a few days and call them if they gave a #. good luck This method has been working for me so far. but im getting calls from citys about an hr away????

 If it's further than you like to travel to do the work, see if a certified cleaner here can pick it up for you.

I know Chris Tucker has came all the way North of my place to work...The man will travel, or at least he has. All that was before I was into roofs.

  Just a few things I have tried. I did Radio adds, 2 adds from 3-6 pm during the Sean Hannity show for a month and got 2 calls 1 I sold and the other was an old man that after I quoted him the price told me that my TV add (that I dont have) said I would do the whole roof for $199 no  (I wished him luck on getting that roof cleaned for that It was bad bad) I also went door to door with tags. I made the mistake of writing a quoted price on each tag. I got 0 calls from that.hmm

I have had mixed results in different areas so far. I am almost convinced that the newspaper, phone book, and any other smaller papers I can put an ad in is the way to go. I will try this for a month or two. There are three kinds of homes where I live. tourist homes, retired homes, locals, oh make that four, rich local homes. I just need to keep plugging away.
