Just woke up to 2 new enquires off facebook.

If you just want to standstill then walk up, referals, website will keep you ticking over or growing very slowly.

If you are actively looking to grow fast you won't beat social media, it's right up there with canvassing.

I’m not having a dig, but that’s probably why your prices are on the low side.

Its got nothing to do with it .

My prices are on the high side.

im a bit bored of you prodding at me now.. you keep going on about these low prices. I live in the north mate, i know what others charge locally and im right up there price wise

so kindly jog on.

recently on FB  i noticed a new baked potato shop takeaway is about to open in town.    i commented on their page "are you going to be low ,medium or high prices?"

  "thank you for your interest ,,we plan to be on the medium + side  price wise"

  i bet the place lasts under a year

Think they'll jacket in?

I personally don’t do Facebook but friends that do tell me that most enquiries they get are people price shopping , or are low end jobs in terms of monetary value or ones looking for one off cleans cheap , most of my friends will not bother with Facebook as it has been a waist of time for the results that they have got maybe it is an area thing certain parts of the country it might work well and others it’s a waist of time , don’t shoot the messenger but this is the general opinion in my area from a group of about a dozen or so cleaners

That’s my experience. That said I’ve never posted on the local selling pages, but I’ve been tagged on posts. I’ve tried advertising on Facebook and picked up a few but it’s expensive compared to leaflets.

How are you advertising on Facebook for it to be more expensive than leaflets?

I did a boosted post a while back, cost me £1 a day for 2 weeks. It reached 5000+ (targeted) people. The return rate for 5000 was lower than leaflets but not compared to £14 worth of leaflets, which is practically none.

A boosted post. It cost £120 over a month and brought in 4 customers worth about £500 a year. Perhaps the ad was poor? I didn’t compare reach, only results.

[Stoots]

These are my results on FB ads for the past 2 weeks.

Roughly 15 new window customers
Plus a couple of one off jobs.

Way better return than leaflets from my experience.

I live in a working class small town in the North West, I quote high for my area, don't get all the work I quote for but I have quality local stuff.
wouldn't touch FB with a bargepole
I've been a WC for 26 years

Ok. I misunderstood. You’re not posting on selling boards. Those results are impressive. Can I see your ad?

With a boosted post I've found that you need to target the audience. You are only paying for the people who see it so half(ish) of the people who saw your post were probably men, who are unlikely to give a flying fuchsia about their windows. Limit the spend to a couple of quid a day and do a narrower area, somewhere you know has a shoddy shiner for example, or where someone has recently jacked in.

I find it particularly useful for rural areas where leafleting on foot isn't really viable. It's a smaller reach but better target.

No but only because I keep getting banned for spamming them.

Don't write selling boards off its a much cheaper way of doing it just takes more work and I'm lazy lol so I find it easier just paying.

If you go on my Facebook and search Thompson pro cleaning you should find my page to look at.
