Title: Most Effective Marketing Methods
Post by: myvanwi on December 19, 2007, 06:30:59 pm

What method has everyone found to be the best when marketing a domestic cleaningy business? We have spent a fortune on advertising in local newspapers and most of the time it has been a waste of money. We had 10000 leaflets printed and delivered 5000 ourselves - again hardly any response. We paid a company to deliver the other 5000 and I'm pretty sure they were not delivered. We have put postcards up in all newsagents, supermarkets we can find. There doesn't seem to be any one effective way to grow the business. We are in yellow pages, BT business pages, in all the local magazine type directories that are delivered to thousands of homes. I know word of mouth is the best and we do get these but we need alot more work. Any Ideas?

Myvanwi,

I think you should look to get some objective feedback on your ads/flyers etc. They just might not be any good! Its no good family members blowing smoke up your arse. maybe you can scan them and post them, you will get honest feedback from people with experienceon on here.

They may be great, but if your not getting the response you expect its a starting point.


D.S you know all about getting web exposure and best ways to do it etc?
