I've found that I get more calls from a sign in someone's yard, rather than at an intersection. And I took some advice from here and did a free wash in a developement with 80 houses and all had to drive past this house. I did that Monday, had a lady stop for a card and got two calls that night. Sold 2 of the 3 but expect the other to sign as well.
I also get my best results going door to door and personally hand the literature instead of putting it in a box. I do have door hangers for the ones that aren't home. Good luck

Most of the folks seem to work during the day and a good number of neighborhoods forbid soliciting...I might have to do more free washes for visibility.
JP!! Where you been???

Andy, have you tried Lake Wildwood? Run a special and you could get lucky. I put out fliers out over there a few years back and still get some calls ever now and then.

Andy, something that worked well for me, was I had a private mom and pop pizza place in town, I gave then 100 bucks to buy pizzas for the next 100 dollars worth of orders, and they got my flyers on the pizza box with the free pizza. The pizza place also flyered up the next 100 pizza boxes. I would get alot of calls from people saying thank you for the free pizza.... Then make an appointment for an estimate and sell it!
Alot of people will be doing cook outs for Memorial Day, sell off that! Ohio is still abit cool ( im in PA) most people still don't have the spring fever to clean up the yards and plant the gardens just yet!
Keep your head up things will break for ya!
Richard, I'm glad I hadn't just taken a sip of coffee when I read that, or you'd owe me a "detail cleaning" of my screen and keyboard.Drive down the road with your drain valve open on your tank.....I used to do it just to see how many people would call me to let me know I was leaking.

Jeffrey, cool idea on the pizza boxes!
Andy, sharp looking Web site you have there. I bet you'll be getting some more calls soon, now that people are outdoors and noticing that their houses, cars, etc. need a good wash after the winter months. (Do they sand/salt the roads in GA, or do you not get snow there?)

It has been almost three weeks since I last had a call. I have posted yard signs at major intersections, placed color trifolds along with coupons and newsletters into mailboxes. Yet, I am not getting much traffic. Any advice?
