i've read some info here and its been very helpful. okay so i started my carpet cleaning business.i have a portable extractor.works great. i live in sunny arizona,usa. any advice should help. iv been in business for myself for about five months.not going bad, but needs to be better. im in the newspaper in the service directory(classifieds) every sunday.im also on the newspapers internet site. this is costing about 150$$ a month(THIS ALL THE MONEY I CAN SPEND) usa.ive got maybe7 calls so far.and they where from the internet.not so good! ive called some home cleaning companys to see if they have clients for me.no response. what should i do?flyers? i live by alot of apartments.stick to them?give them flyers. i can get 1000 flyers colored paper black ink for 100$$. should i do this? what should my flyer say? most of the other carpet cleaners here are scumbags. they direct mail flyers saying they will do a room of carpet for 5.00$$.then charge hundreds when they get there. i charge one price.everything included.i want to be honest.AND MAKE GOOD MONEY! PLEASE ANY ADVICE...IM GOING BROKE. SORRY ABOUT SPELLING. |

You must have no idea what you're doing if you're going broke. You should really consider selling Girl Guide Cookies door to door.................. Nightrider |

The best marketing tip I can give you is TRIAL & ERROR, What works for Joe Blow in Vancouver will not work for Mike in Toronto or a d**k like you in Arizona Nightrider |
