What are some good marketing ideas for starting a residential cleaning service? ?
I’m starting a residential cleaning service. I went and got some business cards and I plan going door to door passing them out. Any other suggestions?
10 points for best suggestion.
Thanks Everyone!
Come up with a special angle to get attention - a specialist area you can talk about like the ability to clean antique silver or your hoovering equipment is the best and the fastest, or added services you do (or you know someone who does and can team up with) like ironing or childminding or dog walking - anything to make you stand out from the competition.
Create a flyer, and add a good selling message saying you are local, reliable and affordable. Include a phone number so people can talk to you. Local coffee shops, pubs, music shops, libraries, community centres, newsagents, health clubs often have counters and noticeboards where you could put your flyers. You could invest in some perspex ‘take ones’ to put on counters at these places that will keep your flyers in sight and looking professional.
Get out and about and network locally. Estate agents and rental letting agencies would be good places to talk to and see if you can get recommended by them for people moving into new accommodation.
If you have a website that features your service that would be helpful to use in all your promotional efforts, you can then tell people to go to your site where your services are explained in more detail.
Is there a local ‘town’ website where you live? Call up the editor and see if you can do a picture story for the homepage, or at least get a listing in the services section.
Hope this helps!
