I've had the JP stuff and it's mainly full of free room adverts and YP adverts also the recorded info message (I don't use that anymore).
What is it you are looking for? there's no silver bullet to loads of high end customers with big tickets and better prices, the idea of offering free room cleaning was to get in with high enders so they can recommend you.

I'm spending more time on marketing now and really just looking for some inspiration, and ideas of putting a marketing mix together.
I know some will be take it or leave it etc but some of it must be useful.
watched the video about using stickers to give to your clients to put on their vacuum cleaners, does any body do this ?
i know a guy locally whos not a cc but repairs electical appliances and he has been doing this for years, it is a good reminder and you know where to find the number when you really need it .
Its some fresh ideas like this that i want to introduce or at least try out, as i think different ideas work for different areas.
Not sure about offering the free room clean though, seems a bit risky and time consuming to me, i guess you would have to target your clients very carefully for that to work.
I have tried the relationship type marketing getting in with dry cleaners etc and it really didnt work for me, some work came in and then just fizzled out.
Obviously am concentrating on the reminder postcards, newsletter things as well and leaflets now and again,
Any other ideas would be helpful and interesting to know what most cc spend their marketing time on.
Regards
