Title: Cheap advertising ?
Post by: Cliff Horne on November 24, 2010, 05:12:27 pm
Was up the garden centre the other week, I was just rolling a smoke before leaving and had some guy come over and ask me for a quote, that got me thinking, should I park my van up at appropriate sites such as garden centres / DIY stores / Supermarkets etc. and leave for a few hours in the hope that the shoppers will take notice, Have any of you tried this?
Possibly offer free paved area cleans to them to act as demos to shoppers, what do you think?

How about you keep their shop front clean and in return you put one of these  http://www.printdesigns.com/9-roller-banners?gclid=CPmo1PDCu6UCFQ1O4QodtSJFug instore.

it's a good idea putting van in car park that i see done often. only thing i'd say is empty the van as much as possible.

Very good suggestion about van parking. Also when you clean someone's building for the time of cleaning you can put a sign "This building is cleaned by ... company. phone number"

i target all the major suppermarkets you get a lot of people in & out of those places, but be carefull some security might get funny about advertising on there premisis, i take the dog for a walk over cannock chase i may only be an hour but i will attatch the flyers to my van for any one to take, what i am saying is carry them with you all the time use every opportunity you get, even when taking the wife out for a meal go in the van it all helps,
