Put the link up when its setup & swap "Likes".
My page (one of them anyway) is here: http://www.facebook.com/AvondhuInternet

Its only expensive if you dont get a return, they totally manage all your social media for 100 quid a month, I think thats cheap as long as you pick up regular work....

What results have you been getting then?
-
Havent decided to go ahead yet but think I will be giving it a go. Done some research and social media in general is the way forward for all marketing. It does sound alot but if it brings in at least one job a week then it will pay for itself. I have a feeling though that it will bring in a whole lot more....

Dream on. ??? ???

Do you have a facebook page?
-
GD windows, I would like to talk to you about this, if your willing to pay for this service then I would do it alot cheaper to show others what can be done.

Do you have a facebook page? The point of paying a bit more is to get the service of a professional who has a track record....

I have a few but none in the window cleaning niche, could you please explain the track record these people have as I see many new start ups doing this service and many fail to add things that makes this social advertising platform open up

I have seen pages they already run very successfully, can you show me pages you run? I dont think it being a start up is relevant to be honest, all companies have to start somewhere....

email me your details, I will start up a window cleaning one and show you, I cannot show you the ones I run as they make me money and are not related to window cleaning.

Thanks for the offer but to be honest I will stick to the original firm, I dont see why showing me a facebook page that makes you money should be a problem. Also why have you not got your own if you think its a good idea? Its not just about building a plain page, they brand it and manage it to make sure its visible to as many people as possible to guarantee a result.....

That cool and good luck.
To answer your question:
If I wanted more window cleaning work then I would convert the one I started last year, I dont want to tbh right now I am busy enough, that may change if I can find the right person to drive forward the window cleaning side thats why I had the page secured long before the masses new about it ;).
Honestly I do know what a Page on facebook entails I have been studying it amounst other things full times for over a year, it comes down to 1 thing and thats about being viral thats where the money and the traffic is, just what ever you get into with a company, make 110% sure that it is targeted traffic to your page, it is possibel to get 10,000 likes to a page within days, but targeted traffic will convert alot better more is not always better ;)
Hope it works out for you ;), sorry never caught your name.

good stuff George, would like to see the progress of your page should you go and do it with them. ;)
-
Will keep you informed, the idea is that its a three month trial then we sit down again and see where we stand. After the trial period they are then happy to go onto a commission only role. It seems that they want a long term working relationship and talking to them i tend to believe them... 300 quid aint going to make them alot but a long term deal could....

Does anyone on here have a facebook business page?
-
Come on guys, some of you on here must be using one of the largest marketing tools out there? Or are you using any other social media sites?
-
window washers you can knock me up a facebook page if you want il trial it for u for free
-
Dont think free is a fair offer lol who uses social media?
-
just before our break in in october we were at advanced discussions with a web design seo expert company called stuck on they were goin to reedevelop a new site, new facebook page etc and twitter and look after our seo on a monthly basis for around 75 for basic rising to 180 for a more indepth plus about a 1100 for the website unfortunatelty we had to put it off it is the new way for marketing and i like to try and be at forefront of the industry in trying new things sadly though its something i cant afford right now

Richy,
Sadly I cannot do it for free, I have a wage bill to pay so if I get my team to do this work there would be a cost involved although I could work out a large discount for you to trial it.
There are a few things we are testing right now in other niches but could and will be converted to window cleaning.
If you are interested send me a text message and I will get you a price.

Do people seriously use FB to look for a window cleaner?

disruption marketing Matt ;)

Nothing proven then?

Nothing proven then?
it is being studied right now, but with over 750 million people and the traffic it can generate if you know what your doing is mental Matt, foolish (imo) is to disregard this new media.
I remember when I used to sell websites hosting and domain names back in 1999/2000 when people used to say to me the internet would not work (oh god how they were wrong)
This is the same thing happening all over again, :)
p.s how did your ride go ?
-
Went well thanks Ian. Fantastic experience, great people. Food was excellent although 12 out of the 15 people who did it had the trots or pukes or both ;D I got away scot free. Very hot, ride was great fun, loved it, planning another possibly.
Theres a few vids Ive uploaded to Youtube so far, got lots more to do though

The poverty is awful, but they dont seem to succumb to it, there's a lesson to be learnt from my experience out there looking at some of their lives.
Thanks for your donation once again, altogether we got something close to 5K raised.

Does anyone use facebook for their business on here? Can i have a look?
-
I use it but dont get any work from it,i also have a webb site and dont get much work from that either,ive put many hours into it and to be honest its a waste of time,the best way is to knock and flyers.

I don't get alot of new enquiries direct from my website, but alot of customers have looked at the website.
I get window customers saying - I see you do gutter cleans, pressure washing etc.
I'm going to push the web side of things in the new year, including SEO on my site, my FB page and Twitter.
I signed up to google analytics ( It's free :) ) a couple of weeks ago and it's quite interesting to see what pages are being looked at, what pages people leave the site from etc.

Been there done all that and to be honest still dont get alot of work from it.
