I just opened a cleaning business based from home with a partner of mine. We have advertised in a local flyer magizine and have passed out flyers in neighborhoods. Only a few calls came from the flyer magizine but nothing has come from the flyers that we passed out. What is the best way to market the business with little to no cost? Also, does anyone know how to book clients as regulars instead of one time cleanings... and what are good prices we should set for them? Please help ASAP!!!

Word of mouth is big in the small cleaning business. If you do a good job at fair prices and are trustworthy your name will be passed to friends and family of clients. To start with I would drop off the fliers or cards at local restaurants. Be sure to tell everyone you know that you're starting a cleaning business. Also try putting some ads on craigslist.com . For pricing figure your time is worth 20 to 35 dollars an hour per person. Do a few cleanings to see how long it takes. Good luck.

Post flyers at grocery stores and churches (ask first). Have customers sign contracts and give a discount rate for signing for the whole year or 6 months...whatever. Get creative.

as a person who has been the cleaning business for some time,i would say when you do get that first job,do it as if your life depended on it, (and it will,) then the rest will follow.just remember stay hungry and always, always,always,keep the customers best interest at heart.
