Setting up credit card processing services (which I can guide you if you like) gives a business owner 40-60% better chance over their competitors who don't! Also having the Visa/MasterCard logo on your materials has shown to greatly increase your chances of getting new business. As far as getting business I suggest finding a lender (like myself) who can loan a small amount to begin placing small Ads. Newspapers, On line, Getting Flyer's Made, Magnetic Sign for your Vehicle. etc. These all cost a few pennies. |

Print out an add that has tearoffs of your number and put them up in the stores. Moms are always looking there to get help around the house. I actually am looking for someone right now. |

Get your walking shoes on, and dress nice.
There are 3 basic keys to success. you have to LOOK good, you have to SOUND good, and you have to SMELL good,
make sure you make plenty of flyer's stating your company name address phone business Lic# if you are Bonded and insured, what type of services you provide and the area you are willing to travel to.
It is not necessary to put your fees unless you are using a flat fee or an hourly fee, Best to give a price after you see and inspect what needs to be done at each individual site. and business cards. go OUT of your area, go to small stores, houses small businesses Good luck and
God Bless |

Put an ad in the local papers (some are free) and word it to attract business...a good thing would be to be 'bonded', it makes an employer more comfortable to know that especially when you are dealing with personal goods and their home. |

Hand out flyers, advertise your services on local newspapers. if you want free advertising, use craigslist.com and benefito.com. Benefito is more specialized in stuff like that, you can find how other cleaners advertise their services and how much they charge in your area. |

Make a flyer and distribute to every residential and commercial building you can find. |

Just make flyer's or door hangers and choose an area close to home and start canvasing - if you prefer business tar4get them if homes, apartments, etc. It is all about advertising and maybe offer the first 1/2 hour free to new customers or a buy 10 get free window service cleaning or fridge clean out - any free service will definitely get you calls. Good Luck! |

talk to new home construction companies, they might need someone to come in and clean after the houses are built but before they have sold.
if you want to do business cleaning, make up a flyer showing your competitive rates and offer a free consultation. then pass those around to offices in your area.
if you are doing residential cleaning, take out an ad in the newspaper and even advertise online. Put a sign on your car with the name of your cleaning service and your phone number. Have some business card on hand in case someone asks you about your business.
best wishes to you! |
