Long story cut short. Live in Germany (Ex Squaddie ) and have been window cleaning since 89. Started CCing in 93.. About 30% of our work is carpet cleaning now and most of our custies are forces. While doing a carpet job for a local custy, she asked why we weren't on Facebook. I'm not a Facebook type of bod really. I think it's all dross, so never bothered really.
Anyway, this woman told us that most Army WAGs were on and it would be worth having a go at advertising on there. Didn't think much about it, but later, she called and said she had opened a page for us and I should take a look !!!
Did abit of research and spoke to her on the phone. She suggested a few Facebook pages where we should post an add and see what response we got. That was back in Dec 09. Since then, we have over 225 members and regular inquiries on the page and through PM's. As we had the winter from hell here, worse than UK's
, we got enough work off the site to keep us going over the winter.
We learned quickly that if we placed personal ads on Facebook sites at the right times, we got a fair amount of work. I don't mean the ads you see on the side of the page, like Google etc. We join certain groups then introduce ourselves and explain what we do.
We don't spam or ram the ad down their necks, we post regular but not too often if you see what I mean. Anyone else have expierience with this sort of advertising?
