Steamer, Try this after each cleaning. http://www.violand.com/thank.asp
It is a business builder. It is a Thank you / Referral card . Again, " slow but Solid" growth is the best long term . |

Good point. The more of the other guys customers you do, the less he does. Unless of course, he takes yours. Then you would be trading customers. Does that make sense?

I have at least 1500 in my database. That may not seem like a lot, but some of them represent thousands of dollars a year

I stopped because I didn't like doing free rooms. Seriously, my business starting generating repeats and referrals. Now I only run a YP ad and nothing else. I guess I could probably do more if I advertised, but I hate spending money and getting very little in return

Give your body a rest, you kill yourself for almost 10 months a year, time to rejuvenate the body, it is only 8 weeks and things will start to pick-up again, been that way for 37 years and I don't see it changing.

Do a trial in a selected area and see if it works for you. I tried it a few years ago and it worked for me. I only had a couple of custys who only took the freebee
