J&E the thing is you want to get in "IN" right now and you need a gimmick a slogan something that will open the hearts and dreamers doors for you to come in and clean homes for the rich and shameless right? right. You need to put up a billboard. Either on buses or up in the sky on a billboard.

Suggestion would be with a feather duster dusting a wine cellar use a babe with a maids outfit and high lite the hips, tips and legs and a stud in a bow tie, shirtless bartenders costume. pouring two martini's with the palm trees and sand behind him.

Have we got the people you want in your house? You bet we do!

What's your website's URL so we can review your SEO metatags?

You need to start with a simple strategy that answers a few basic questions, then move on to tactics like media placement, etc.

First, who are the people in your vicinity most likely to buy this service? Are they single or married, and how affluent are they (I'd suggest going after single men and women with enough disposable income to warrant hiring a regular cleaning service-- so think young professionals, either folks who live in condos or first time homeowners.)

Now let's look at their behavior to determine the smartest way to reach them. If it's young professionals, they probably own cars, with a short commute to work. They're likely to be internet savvy and socially active.

Cheap tactics would include car window fliers, or better yet, organize your sexy employees as guerrilla street teams-- have them "in uniform" passing out coupons in high-traffic areas. Do it right and you can generate plenty of buzz and maybe even a little press.

If you don't have a website up, get one... semi custom templates are cheap, available all over the internet and can give you a web presence fast. Make sure people can book your service online, and that all your advertising drives traffic to the site. Optimize the site with relevant meta tags, and look into a buying geo-targeted key words (cleaning service South Florida, for example).

If you've got the money, consider ad placements in local alternative publications. I'd avoid outdoor boards for now; they're just not targeted enough for a service like yours.

Make sure you've got a look and logo for your brand that's consistent-- you want to establish name recognition quick, and give a strong introductory offer to incite trial. It' a fun, sexy brand you have, so make sure your look and voice are fun and sexy. And have tons of fun with it!

Road sign. Paper advertisement. Radio. High traffic place with a free place to put ad at, like store windows etc.

Did you know that you can sign up for a free myspace account and Promote/ advertise an existing business or event? If you have a paypal or google account, you can add buy it now buttons and get paid! Take a look at the one I setup for free(www.myspace.com/mobvixen) and I'm already getting friend requests from people interested in my merchandise!

Yours isn't a 'new' type of business..
I would suggest googling 'sexy cleaning service' or similar words and you may get some ideas on how to progress.

yahoo has a thing like that, also try freewebs.com

also i am in s. florida, whats the name of ur company

I use Yahoo web builder for $ 12 a month. Can load lots of pictures etc.

Business cards are a great way to promote your business because of their size. You can stick them just about anywhere without too much fuss. For example, try going to mall parking lots and putting them in car doors, or even stick one inside free newspapers/classifieds/magazines that people pick up.

Lookcube is a free classifieds website that is starting to get big. They have listings for South Florida.

It's easy and quick to use, and is a great choice to find new customers for your business.

Best wishes
