Window Cleaning Rounds For Sale

Membership site for window cleaners: Since October 2006 Window Cleaning Resources have been providing a free online service for window cleaners. The tips, articles, products and industry links have helped hundreds of window cleaners in the developing of their business. More recently Window Cleaning Resources developed a site for the purpose of buying and selling window cleaning rounds called "window cleaning round for sale."

With hundreds of rounds being advertised and sold in the past year or so, the site quickly became the UK’s marketplace of window cleaning rounds. “We’re working on developing the rounds for sale site so that it becomes an online marketplace not just for window cleaning rounds but second hand vans and equipment, job vacancies, subcontract work opportunities and more,” explains Mark Henderson, owner of the company.

“The site has a lot of potential but the development of it obviously requires a financial investment which meant moving to a subscription basis arrangement. I have a web developer working on the project at the moment and you can expect to see more features on the site appearing in coming weeks. The move to a subscription basis didn’t please everybody but the response from most has been acknowledgment of the fact that the new format brings with it a lot of benefits for serious buyers and sellers.” Recently an article ‘Good News and Bad News’ was posted on the new Window Cleaning Resources blog explaining some of these key benefits since the subscription arrangement was introduced.:

Good news for sellers:

• Now you don’t need to worry about posting details of your livelihood on the internet for the whole world to see. Only those that have paid a subscription fee will be able to see who you are.
• Previously it was not unusual for a seller to be contacted by literally 20 different interested parties wanting to buy the same round. Inevitably, among these there would be some time wasters. With 20 potential buyers you obviously don’t want to be messed about by a time waster. Now, the first ones to call you will likely be the ‘early bird’ Full Members that have paid for the privilege of receiving an email notification as soon as any rounds are added to the site. These callers have already shown a level of commitment having paid to be first in line to call you. Meaning, less chance of them being a time waster.
• You can now log into your account and mark the round as Sold as soon as it sells or update the advert if you sell part of a round.
• If you are selling up and want to sell your van, system or equipment separately then you can you can advertise it in the Equipment section.

Good news for the buyers:

• If you are the type that likes to be first in line at the sales to grab a bargain then you can opt to be an ‘early bird’ Full Member and receive email notification of new adverts as soon as they appear on the site.
• You are not going to be pushed out by someone that just wanted to have a nosey at the work and get an idea of how much they charge.
• You can now post an advert for Rounds Wanted so people come to you with work for sale. Once again these are people that have shown a level of commitment having paid the subscription fee in order to contact you.
• You only need to pay when a round comes up that you are interested in, unless you want to receive the email notification as soon as new rounds are added as a Full Member.
• It only costs £5 every 3 months to be a Basic Member (which allows you to place for sale adverts and to view contact details) or £10 every 3 months to be a Full Member (which allows you to place for sale and wanted adverts and also to be notified of new adverts.) Of course, you can cancel the subscription at anytime and still have full access until the account expires at the end of the 3 month period.
• Since there are loads of rounds for sale you can now search the site using a combination of criteria or keywords to quickly find what you are looking for.

“With more additions to the site coming soon included in the membership package, I’m determined to make the site even better and provide the industry with a site that plays a key role in the development of window cleaning businesses is the UK.”
