Although it is a lot of tedius work, a website coupled with good SEO will produce the highest conversion ratio of advertising cost:revenue. Once your site is establish, you only need to write a few good articles a week to turn it into a cash machine.

nice advertisements onslaught, i especially like the jersey home owner stunned postcard.
I use postcards to keep customers coming back, and it works. As far as getting new customers using postcards it bombs every time. Deep down i know it's because i don't do the home work and target my postcards better.

I liked the stunned postcard. It seems it would be easy to make a similar one for carpet cleaning. I have also found that anything that works well in one service industry will work well in another. For fliers I like canvasing a neighborhood after I have cleaned and received a great testimonial from one or more of the neighbors. I include the testimonial from the neighbor which gives credibility to the flier.  I also have a sign that I could put up in the yard that said were happy we called Boulder Carpet Cleaning Masters to clean our carpets. In one subdivision I had about 8 signs up and probably landed 24 great jobs. I think both of you guys have some good ideas and look forward to seeing new stuff from everyone.

I think you use the media that best gets in your place first so that your business will bloom easily because of the customers that are just nearby and they have easy access to your place.

I run 2 businesses and I am in charge of a $250,000 marketing budget for another.

I do this between peddling on street corners

Thank you very much for ignoring me, I will have no problem doing the same

Trust me when I say I am not threatened by some self proclaimed know it all like you since everyone of your kind has been run off here with their tail between their legs.  We ignore you, do nothing for you or with you and your engine runs out of steam and guess what?  That's right, you go back to honest work.

You are now officially on terminal ignore.  Some of us have businesses to run, others are street corner beggars with their hands out cleaning our windshields at red lights.  When the light turns green, watch out because getting to the next job is more important than if the beggar walks away or becomes a speed bump.
Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

Whoops, sorry John. I can show you examples of a postcard that made well over $100k in sales on one mailing. I will also show one that is about to mail.

These are 11x7 flat mailers, just a giant postcard. These ideas could easily work for a 2 sided flier.

Think this could not work for carpet cleaners? Think again...

We won't debate the difference in our styles as the only thing our two businesses have in common is the word CLEANING.  But I am sure the window cleaning board members would value your input.  I guess you just need to find those with Google. 

This board does not cater to the layman or any outside trades you will find.




That my friend is absolutely ridiculous. What do you think you are doing that those in window cleaning are not? Please be specific so I can shoot everyone of them down in detail.

Marketing is ALL relative

You must be under the impression I am some window cleaning marketer. I help all sorts of small businesses present themselves in a better way.

As for this community being unaccepting to those outside of their field, why would that be? Do we not all get up every day and work on our businesses the same way? Sure you use different cleaning tools, but there is NO difference in how we get work.

We find a problem, agitate the problem and offer a solution.

I see you feel threatened by me, don't. If I can give anyone on here a fresh perspective to maybe help them see things in a different light, is that bad? By you acting like carpet cleaning is unlike anything else is poisonous to these people on here and could potentially rob them of new ideas to stimulate more sales.

I'll keep posting on here until I hear from more than you. I will NEVER try to sell anyone anything but free advice on new possibilities.

Don't fear change
