How many of you live in really small town areas? How do you go about marketing your services to these small towns? How much competition from other ccers do you face? I am from a very small town agricultural area and there are about 15 ccers in my area. Do you think this market is oversaturated a bit? |

bgray, I live around a small comunity. What has worked for me is that you have to offer a better service than your counterparts. Make your biz stand out from them. My little town i live close to has around 800 people. Country livin. I have to drive around 35 miles to a bigger city. It still works out. Have a good day ------------- Cleaning carpets is like a box of chocolate.You dont know what ya got till ya bite into it. |

If your in a small town try and make free publicity work for you.
Donate service to a non-profit. Float in parade Press releases - Indoor air quality, warranty etc. Testimonials Small town usually has very inexpensive print. Try getting the earwig locations of your paper in the home section or women's section. Put good graphics on your van. Most importantly - do good work and reward referals. ------------- http://www.expertcarpetcare.ca>Carpet Cleaning in Victoria BC |

Find if there is a local directory for the small towns. The Lions publish a directory for my area; my $200 add brings in over $10000 a year.
