Here's a flier I made back last year. After I printed out about 100 I realized I spelled "roof" as "foof" - not too noticeable tho. lol. I'm going to switch that and print up a bunch more soon...
It definitely can improve your business when you accept credit cards. We have good success by allowing credit card payments. Just out of curiosity, where did you get the statistic about pressure washers taking 5-10 yrs off a roof. This seems high, but if it is in fact true, it is a great selling point.....

Hey Pat, I handed these out for a while, didn't pass out too many. As you can see, it was in December - January, not the best time for work here. I went to all of the work of handing them out as more of an awareness thing. And I've been too busy to go back through the areas I passed these out in.
Markus, I can not remember where I had read that statistic, but I remember thinking it was high too - until I saw what kind of damage a pressure washer can do to a roof. I saw a roof that was only about 10 years old ruined by a pressure washer and a home owner. Had to have the roof replaced. So that told me those numbers can be accurate.
Kind of funny.... I got a money mailer recently that had an advertisement from one of the bigger pressure washing companies in town ... The picture on their ad clearly shows a guy on a roof blasting it with a pressure washer.
Actually, it's not funny. It's frustrating because it paints a picture in the mind of customers that dont know any better that ALL roof leaners probably do it that way.

Save, Save, Save and USE that picture as an educational tool. You don't have to name any names, but definatly have that entire advertisement in your before and after portfolito. As you flip to it and the customer sees it, explain the advantages to using a no pressure method.

Hahaha I did that before for a charity I was running. I bothered me so much. I would let people read the flyer and they would not see anything worng at all, but i could.
Then, one time I did a bid for a 2k pressure washing job and on the first line I made a typo. I had 3 people proof read it before I sent it and they didnt notice it. I Didnt notice till after I fedexed the doc. Sh*t happens man.
