How do you think business will be throughout the summer holidays??

[stevegunn]

If this week is anything to go by really busy

[maxcarpets]

not so sure. Bookings are slightly down for us ( at the moment \)

[Mark Stanley]

Agreed, Only Monday and the phone has not stopped 

[maxcarpets]

maybe I'm panicking a bit early.

Much busier than last year,but then the early part of the year was slow.

[maxcarpets]

ok, ok so its only me! Thanks Guys.

[Neil Grainger]

Normally one of the best months of the year, was last year.

July has been the best this year so far.

Max are you from Wokingham?

[maxcarpets]

we had a record Month in May, then set new records in June but for some reason ( I thought maybe hot weather ) things have slowed a bit. I'm sure it will pick up, we have our biggest ever advertising campaign planned for August so it is all in hand. Yes I am in wokingham, neighbour!

[Neil Grainger]

Good to see someone local on here other than Mr Parry. If you ever need anything just give me a shout.

I come from Wokingham too. lived most of his my life their but have not wanted to work their because getting around is such a pain.

How did you find the forum?

Cheers

Neil

[maxcarpets]

No problem, I wish had known that a few weeks back ( big Nightclub, hell ! ). I found forum last week by accident. Who's Mr Parry?

dont do Nightclubs but other work always interested in.

Dave is from Bracknell but does not post much.

How do you find the sponsored listings on Yaho and Google.

[maxcarpets]

Sponsered listings ok, no one type of advertising is the answer I find. Why not Nightclubs? 

[Neil Grainger]

Crap hours, tons of chewing gum and really dirty.

Dont do much commercial work. just have a few regulars. Mostly domestic for obvious reasons.

Finding it a bit slow over last few days, booked 3 out of 4 today and also picked up extra work from custy did suite for. This is the busiest week of the year for the airports, so alot off people on holls.

Roll on september when the little tykes are back to school and mum wants to clean up.

That was my thoughts on it, but everyone else seems busy?

[Cleantime Europe Limited]

The secret is dont rely on having all your eggs in one basket - diversify when you can. Dont just stick with cleaning carpets & upholstery, add on office cleaning, leather cleaning, window cleaning etc etc.

We offer many services, we are always busy and I run 14 vans with 26 staff. If  you want to earn the REAL BIG money the two key words I will say is remain PROFESSIONAL & DIVERSIFY as quickly as possible, otherwise like I was, you get stuck in a rut just doing carpets and earning £400 per week.

 

[bennymon]

im really quiet but ive only just started on my own   but im about to start putting out 5000 leaflets per month and the yellow pages comes out in a couple of weeks so its fingers crossed

[Glynn]

£400 per week ?
Wouldn't even do a full day for that.

[Mike Halliday]

that what I was thinking : :

lets all clean windows and muck out offices.

Bennymon, put out 5000 a week then you'll be busy
