Answer 1

Marketing is a multi task effort that combined works to speed you onto the fast track for growth and success.

1. Drive around on a Sunday and write down all the names of all the businesses in your area that you would want to clean.

2. Sunday night, look up there phone numbers

3. Monday morning, call and ask if they use a janitorial service and who the decision maker is,

4. Tuesday, send letters to all those decision makers along with a business card, telling them who you are, what you do and why they should talk to you.

5. The following Monday, call them all, ask if they got your letter, tell them you are going to be visitin other businesses later that week and ask if you can stop in to give them a free estimate.

6. Repeat process, expanding your driving area every 2 weeks until you are the biggest cleaning company in your city. Then hire someone else to do this for you in other cites until you are biggest cleaning company in your region.

7. When you are that big, send me email and let me know what your purchase price on company stocks is.

8. See links below for tons of free information, forms, samples and help from other people in the cleaning business.

Answer 2

Just get out there and knock on some doors, or if you don't want the face to face approach, how about going to your local library and getting the address of all your local businesses and write to them, if you send one hundred you're sure to get some positive responses, but the face to face option is always best, be sure to have some busines cards to give them once you've been, they are inexpensive but will work. Good luck woth the business. If that works you can clean my place for free for a week!

Answer 3

Having done various marketing techniques for a cleaning company, we still found that the most effective way was to flood your area with a well designed brochure (which you can design yourself to save money). People are very reluctant to throw away a nice brochure, which means it hangs around in a company for months.

After that you can buy marketing lists, tailored to suit your needs. You can choose postcodes, specific areas, size of company, etc, etc. All of this can be done on-line and the list is send to you via email in an excel spreadsheet.

All you need to do then is print the labels, pop your brochures in an envelope and post them.

Remember that no marketing comes free unless you are willing to visit prospective companies yourself on foot. However, you can visit many companies with no results as the percentages are quite low.

By spending a little money on marketing, you are putting the details of your services to hundreds of companies in your area, and therefore, increasing the chances of obtaining customers.

I have found that the companies listed below provide all of the marketing lists you require. Hope this helps.

Have you considered getting a freephone, as they only cost a couple of quid a month and give the impression you're larger and more established than you may be. If you'd like more information on getting one, just email me.

Good luck,
