Title: Marketing
Post by: ally75 on November 15, 2011, 03:20:58 pm

Been running my carpet and upholstery cleaning company for just over a year now, and gaining work from flyers,recommendations, internet and advertiser mags. It has been hardgoing but feel I am now turning a corner with it. Been looking at a way to make myself more business like and perhaps "model" (or copy) a more successful cleaner. Have been doing some research and come across a programme called "I love marketing" by Alltec that looks like it might fit the bill. Does anyone have any thoughts/advice/experience of using this? Will it allow me to jump start my businness? is it a load of nonsense?  Is there anything better others have used?
Any advice greatfully received.

fill in your profile and use a proper name and you might find people more helpful,

I.ve been caught out giving marketing advice to a guy who lives 6 miles from me who then used the advice to try and persuade my delivery company to ditch me and put out their leaflets

now anyone using a daft name doesn't get marketing advice.

but.... i love marketing is alltecs new persona and they are a reputable company.... so worth a look at

It used to be available only if you bought a machine from them but Cleansmart do a marketing guide with very good ideas in it. If you can get your hands on that from them and follow through on it you would be well ahead of the game.
