   What do you guys spend on your yearly Advertisement per year. I am set to spend $10,000 this year for my Advertisement.

   but 15% doesn't get the people calling...plus I never said it was a bad idea...I agreed with you.. 
 actually I offered 20% off to all the repeat customers...so it put my room rate down to $20 a room... this 1 room free will only be for new customers to try the service... I did a small mailing of 180 homes giving them 1 room free...and to tell you the truth not many people took advantage of that....I think they think it's some sort of scam.. I got 2 calls and 1 negative feed back out of the 180 which I sent out. Getting new customers is a challenge.....I just have to get into clean them...thats the only way I can win them over. I just had a call this week.....they where so happy...I had drop cloths for miles ...I had an extra pair of shoes to change in...and I sealed up their door with a door sealer to keep the cold out while I worked.. they where impressed. Doing small mailouts helps you test what will work from what won't work before you run a big ad of a few 100 thousand homes Edited by MR. STEAMER - 26/January/2007 at 5:42pm | |

   Steamer like I said don't include steps in your specials. Tehy can be a money maker to makeup for what you are giving away?  You cannot compete in the give away market? We very deldom ever get a price shopper. If someone wants us they book us?
