How are the results you guys get from taking out Ads in your local newspapers? Do you get a call once a week from it? When I did Newspaper ads I averaged one job per week. So on a 10 week ad I landed 10 jobs. Let me know your feedback
thanks

Put FREE CARPET CLEANING as a headline and you'll see how many will call you........you don't have enough phones to handle the traffic of calls And if you know how to read what I just said you'll make lots of money. Nightrider |

NOPE But, what you said does have potential........providing you give them value when they call.......the way you put it is fine providing you clean their carpets free and charge (xxxxx) for scotchgard. Nightrider |

Right...They have to buy scotchgard...I remember that... The value/benefit is "superclean..quik dry"... This is a classified ad...right??? I can add a few more value's also........

Give them 1 value point.......the rest show them benefits.........too much value signals red lights Once on site.........show them value 2 and charge accordingly. I can show you how to return to clean the carpets again within 6 months.........pm me and I'll tell you. THE REST OF YOU WILL HAVE TO BUY MY BOOK. Nightrider |

I know thats a great idea... free carpet cleaning..... kind of scary, but we all know it would work. I'm thinking to give away 1 room free no purchase ness. to see if I could drum up some exposure. but the gard bait and switch seems shady but just might work

Well Steamer I guess you get what you pay for. Since here we have to clean carpets because they need to be cleaned not like your walk in the park. We have to charge for our service? ------------- Just My opinion |
