Thanks at this moment in time I have not told the wife what I have planned as I will be spending our savings. How do I find out about marketing and finding customers?

S

Use the search facility on here and check th CC forum box. Then spend a week or two chewing it over. Make a list of questions then come back on here and post them.

You can also buy th odd generic markting book off amazon too.

I read somewhere that carpet cleaning is recession proff but I do take your point I would take another job on a part time basis. I've had a read before I posted and even found out what a truck mount. Websites seem to be the order of the day next to leaflets but the content has to be spot on.

Before you jump in why don't you ask Mark a dp design to send you some leaflet designs or you can have a look at some on line.

Personally I'd talk to someone who has been doing the job for about less than 12 months Derek West has his head screwed on albeit it the wrong way ;D and Paul from Kinder clean they will point you in the direction of good new deals etc.

If you are after immediate returns then CC won't deliver. If however you think you could put your heart and soul into it and cadge off the Mrs for a year then fair enough.

Part time might be a better option but you still have to shell out for insurance, equipment, advertising with a smaller return.

No that went years ago.

They will both be on here sooner or later, probab;y when Derek has finished with the Mrs and his Viking lager.

Calling Derek West!
Calling Paul at Kinder Clean!
