You hear many people who use words like I hate those people and despise those who continuously disrupt my privacy by calling me.  Well let me tell you it's the fastest and economical way to get instant business and very fast growth.

I have customers who have taken 3 to 4 years to get their volume to $1000.00 per year. I also have telemarketing customers who reach the same volume in 30 Days.  Yes it works if you have the right personality and can control Telemarketing people.

Now my personal view is that I am very short or sometimes humorous with telemarketers. But the Good Ones I listen too and Learn, Learn, Learn. Sometimes these sales pitch can be invaluable to you.

I believe a spotter bottle with your name on it is by far the best way to keep your company's brand awareness  in their minds.

Talking about what works in advertising.

Have you noticed lately how some people totally wrap their van in pictures, logos and numbers in a very colourfull way? You even see it on buses. This simply jumps out and grabs you. Think what it would cost to have two signs on poles the same size as your van in your town or city. Probably thousands. Look into it.

Image, Image, Image.

It works.

 I would be pissed if you put a sticker on my vacuum. :)  Maybe most people don't mind but I would.

 I have been using local newspaper ads lately and thinking about trying some radio ads.  I don't think any one thing is going to work magic.  It's a cumulative effect.  Just keep advertiseing here and there and hope people remember you.  I think your logo, name, slogan, etc goes a long way in helping people to remember and notice your business.

Its Monday Lets Get Serious

When I was in the carpet cleaning business years ago I found the very best and least expensive advertising. What I did was to always put a small sticker with one Name and Telephone number and I would stick it to the householders vacuum cleaner.

This puts your name in lights at least once per week and hopefully every day. You would like to think every customer you clean will call you back.

The fact is they have forgotten you the next day and lost the invoice.  They sometimes remember , it was a tall guy with a blue van.

Stick, on Vacuum Cleaner

Stick, on Vacuum Cleaner

Stick, on Vacuum Cleaner this is something we all can afford.

Another Tip from Kleen Kuip

   What kind of success ratio do you get telemarketing & do you do it yourself or hire someone to do it? Does this not make your business look sleazy? Just a question!

i mail all my existing costumers thanksgiving & x-mas cards every year it cost about 300-400 dollars but i get about 40% return costumers. then the next year  for the ones that didnt call i put a coupon in with the cards $10.00 off any service we offer. over$ 110.00 & that seems to get them to call they seem to really like that then tell there freinds that they got a card from there carpet cleaner & they call too.  i send cards to costumers even if they havent booked for 4or5 years they eventually call & book.  but it gets your name out there at the same time.

We leave scratch pads.  They have all our services in ligh print on the back ground and our name accross the top.  We used to use magnets some are still around after 15 years.  but the magnet crase on the fridge has gone by thewayside I think I could be wrong.  I was wrong  once but it wasn't my fault.
