How many people get work via FaceBook ........... have had marketplace entry under Carpet Cleaning for a while now and seem to get at least 1 job a month. Cost me nothing and people tell me that the fact they see the real person and not just the business face, that is why they gave me the work  :-\

Worth a try in this climate  ;)

Crikey I wouldn't let anyone from the carpet cleaning world, pro's or customers, anywhere near my facebook profile!

I could create a separate account but don't have any sensible stuff on there to put up tbh!

food for thought though...

I added pictures and all that type of thing.... I could have done it on the cheap but I wanted to try out the gallery and all that.... Works out cheaper than the £550 I spent on a 6 week ad campaign with a Cornwall wide news rag in Which I got one job... £130. So I'm hardly phased by spending a lady! ;)

Had 11 since last November and ranged from minimum charge up to one £241 job ........... not bad for free listing with logo  ;D
In all fairness, two were from old customers that recognised name  ::)
