Getting cleaning contracts?
My dad started a cleaning company 20 years ago by going door to door and asking if they needed their windows cleaned. It took him a long time, but now he has a successful janitorial service based entirely on word of mouth advertising.
I've worked for him since I was 15 and now I'm wanting to start my own cleaning business, but I can't afford to spend years before it's profitable. I know how to do anything cleaning related and I have all the equipment I need. I have a name, a website, and business cards. I've gotten some window cleaning accounts already, but what I really need is office cleaning contracts. I'm just not sure what the best way to get them is... I have limited money to put into this so I can't do everything. I'm not sure if an ad in the paper is best, or in the yellow pages, or mailing flyers, or door to door business card handing out. So any help would be appreciated, thanks.
