Title: Start up advertising
Post by: Steve Barnett (Carpet Care Plus) on March 16, 2008, 11:53:33 am: Hi guys - just back from a weeks skiing in Austria and ready to put all my efforts into re-starting the cleaning side of the business.

All my prochem equipment has been serviced, stationary has arrived and I am attending CCDO.

My question is: what would you put the emphasis on to begin with, website or leaflets/traditional advertising ?

I have an existing client bank that I can write to promoting the cleaning side, but wondered which would be the best route to take to kick-start things.

Leaflets would be my next port of call as you can get 10,000 printed off quite cheap these days and knock them out your self over the next few weeks. I would also get a web site as it seems to work in your part of the country, if you cant afford to get one done at this moment in time then its worth having ago at doing one your self as its only about £30 to get one up and going. You can add the website address to your leaflets and then customers will be able to see more info about your company.

GOOD LUCK.

I have been looking at your sites and doing some googling and i've noticed that you have really good free listings, such as when I search cleaning brighton both your pages are on page one.

Any tips on how you have gained this as its very impressive?
