Right.have the name as.say Richard meal window cleaning Sheffield and then  add everyone in your area as a friend b4 you know it everyone wants quotes plus add every business too.
 Also do events like 20% of window cleaning and invite everyone you can.
You will soon have stacks of work.

Search for people in your area plus Facebook suggests people you may know in your area.
3 more quotes to do from messages this morning.
Also look for busy local groups
how do you know who live in your area to add them?

 already have a facebook page but it's via my personal page can I set up another account.

No, facebook law states you can only have one facebook account. If you have two, then they can and will shut both down and ban you from having a FB account

They have done this in the past, i know this because my wife designs custom facebook pages and has had to look into this for her clients.

is there a quick way of adding everyone in the area, or do you have to add each individually?

Slightly different to how I do it, but if it works, great!! I advertise in local groups like Rugby teams, riding clubs etc. Whatever works for you. Free advertising is always good. I'm not using FB at the moment for WC work, but am using it for our carpet and upholstery work.

I have a business page on now, but not sure how to advertise it for free?
Title: Re: facebook great way to get new custys.
Post by: cozy on July 16, 2011, 03:50:18 pm
 Don't click on advertise!!! Put a text together and post it on other groups walls. We post something like this.

CARPET & UPHOLSTERY CLEANING Quotes are FREE. Why not join our group for future reference. We work within 80 KM's of Herford. You can call us on 05221 34 8925 or on our Facebook page.http://www.facebook.com/group.​php?v=wall&gid=217388302773

Always ask the admin of any page if it's OK to post on their wall. It's good manners and stops your post getting deleted

Individual m8 but you can get a big list of friend suggestions so could add 100 people in 5 mins easy.

If it's on your wall, you just delete it. Anyway, why would someone do that?

Jealousy I suppose.
I got 2 next door and think it could lead to a few hundred new custys in that  area if I push it.
 I'm going to hire a canvasser to hit that area shortly.

Think who is your target market?
i.e do you get mainly women asking for there windows cleaned?
if so aim for women
what sort of ages?
30 plus?
add people are 30 plus.
add all your local businesses
add every woman 30 plus from your area.
add every older man too.
join all the local groups and add people from there and then friends of friends etc.
before you know it you have a very big client base.
