I am currently in the field of Residential cleaning, but I am leaning more towards the commercial aspect of the industry. I am wondering how I can make my business appeal to commercial customers in the field. I currently run ads in local papers that are mailed to 250,000 homes every week. I also will have a website completed this week! I do free online classifieds also...
I am trying to get maximum exposure with not a lot of money being spent, at the same time...
Any advice is greatly appreciated.. Thank You

Hey, you did post it, Cleaningman23! Thanks!

Hopefully, we'll be on here at the same time soon so that we can work on this!

In the meantime, you might want to please click HERE and take a look at how I've worded some of my own ads.

Thanks!

Hi again, Cleaningman23!

I did receive your private message. Maybe tomorrow night we could coordinate being on here at the same time? As you can see, I'm usually on here pretty late. Sometimes I'm working late for customers. I tend to start my work a little later in the day.

I'm a night person...

The nature of most of my work does allow me the freedom to work late at night.

How about around 10:00 P.M. your time tomorrow?

What I would suggest that you do for now, is to post a sample of what you might say in an ad or on your website so that we can work on the wording of it in order to get you the maximum exposure that you can.

Please don't post any contact information in what you post though, since this site does get excellent exposure when people do searches for things on the Internet and it's not to be used for advertising.

Another thing that I'd like for you to do, if you would, would be to join the following sites. You may have already joined one or more of them.

Clough · Apr 17, 2009, 10:45 PM

I'm here right now! Was playing a game and waiting for those whom I left posts for being online to help them.

Did you join those sites?

Cleaningman23 · Apr 17, 2009, 10:51 PM

Yes I did! I joined all of them except merchant circle.. They were asking me for my phone number and I was unsure if they forward it to telemarketers.. So that's the only one I didn't touch...
Haha I was just about to sign off then I got your email

Cleaningman23 · Apr 17, 2009, 10:52 PM

Now you were saying that you wanted me to post my most recent ad on here.. did u want me to tell you what it says.

Clough · Apr 17, 2009, 10:56 PM

Yes, I would like for you to tell me what it says, without putting in any contact information.

I've never had any problems with Merchant Circle since joining them a number of months ago. So, I wouldn't worry about that if I were you.

Thanks!

Out of all the ads running next to it.. In my opinion its looks the most professional.. next to my major competitor "the Maids"

Clough · Apr 17, 2009, 11:06 PM

Okay, please let me work on that for a few moments...

First thing is that we should put an ad on hoobly.com. The ad should appear in searches on Google within minutes.

What are your specialties as far as cleaning and what are the names of the cities in which you are willing to travel to clean, please?

Thanks!

Cleaningman23 · Apr 17, 2009, 11:11 PM

OK. Thank You. My specialties as far as cleaning.. Is the maid services... Dry Clean Carpet services.. floor buffing services for residential customers...
Here is a map of my coverage area

Please click on the following search.

Chicago Area Cleaners - Google Search

We need to find who your competition is as far as titles for what you do.

Please help me with figuring out the titles. The search was one of the ways that the title could be.

Thanks!

The link that you provided goes to a Mediacom search and not the real website.

Thanks!

Cleaningman23 · Apr 17, 2009, 11:24 PM

Here is all of my competitors all summed up in one page lol

cleaning services and maids orland park - Google Search

Cleaningman23 · Apr 17, 2009, 11:26 PM

Did u want my real website..?
Its actually offline at the moment but I can show you wha tit looks like if you want.. my web designer is putting it live on Monday..

Clough · Apr 17, 2009, 11:31 PM

It would be okay to list your actual website. But, you might want to list it as a tiny url instead of all the words for the link so that we don't get in trouble here with using this site for advertising.

You would do that by clicking on the Insert Link function for posting.

Thanks!

Cleaningman23 · Apr 17, 2009, 11:35 PM

Ok I am going to send you the web address in a private message...
The website is not finished at this moment and has no pics uploaded to it at the moment.. so please don't laugh lol
