    That is basically the correct one that I use.
    I might change a few words here and there.

    That's about it.
    What am I doing?

    Since we are on a new page, I thought that I'd better post what you have posted in post #5, again.

    What you are missing are "keywords" so that people will be able to find what you do where you are located.

    People aren't going to be searching for the name of your business, but what you do where you are located.

    Those sort of things are what show up in the searches when people are looking for services of any kind.

    Sounds good, I will change my ad and do just that.
    It makes good sense.
    Thank you

    I'll keep you informed.

    Are we done? I wanted to show you some other things about effective advertising on the Internet.
  • Sep 14, 2008, 01:18 AM
    Clough
    Okay, I can see that you're offline now.

    Advertising on the Internet isn't all that simple in order to get the most exposure for what you do where you are conducting your business.

    As such, I would appreciate an opportunity to show you how I do it in order to beat all of the competition on the Internet, in the area/region where I am looking for new business.

    Thanks!

    My initial suggestions:

    You want to change the "WEs" to "YOUs"
    Focus more on "what's in for the customer"


    Why should I do business with you rather than the competition?
    What's your "unique selling proposition? to attract customers.

    Check FEDEX: "When it aboslutely positively has to be there overnight"
    Dominos Pizza: "Fresh steamy pizza, delivered at your door within 30 minutes or less or your money back."


    Check out some marketing books or CDs by Dan Kennedy on eBay.

    That all makes sense and I will follow all of it as I am determined to get this going full speed ahead.

    Sorry Clough but I didn't want to take up too much of your time last night as you were tired and had to get ready for your engagement.
    I appreciate anything that can be done to help me.
    Will see you on soon.
    Thanks

    Hi, nanc1430!

    I am here! Please give me a couple minutes to "un-cloak" and to gather the information that I need for you.

    I think that you are very creative in you advertising, by the way! It just needs a few extra things added to it.

    Thanks!

    I have never done advertising before and seem to like it very much. I have a lot of ideas but not too sure as how to use them yet.

    I know I needed something different from the other ads and thought cleaning without power is one of them.

    Most of the ads also say 100% Satisfaction or we will re clean for nothing. (that's nothing, that's what they are paying for) At least I am offering to re do it and have them pay nothing if they still don't like it.

    I know this has to take off.

    I am writing up some door hangers now for cleaning offices. I can leave them on doors when they aren't even open. I will give them some specials also.

    Just need a little help getting started.

    Thanks, I appreciate everything I can get to help.
    Hope you did good with your engagement you were rehearsing for
  • Sep 14, 2008, 10:58 PM
    Clough
    Yes, the rehearsal went well, but we still have a long way to go before the show is in tip-top shape. Too bad that it starts in just three days! Thank you for your concern and making a logical, caring decision last night not to continue here. I have a tendency to spend way too much time here, because I like to help people, when I should actually be getting my own stuff done...

    My response concerning the advertising is coming...
  • Sep 14, 2008, 11:10 PM
    Clough
    nanc1430, if you click on the following links to searches, you will get an idea as to what you need to do concerning getting your advertising exposed the most when people search for services that are around where you are located and can be found on the Internet.

    Clough Quad Cities - Google Search

    Piano Tuner Quad Cities - Google Search

    Quad Cities Handyman - Google Search

    Quad Cities Party Pianist - Google Search

    Painting and Restoration Quad Cities - Google Search

    Rock Island, IL Piano Tuner - Google Search

    Now, since I haven't put any contact information in this post and what I have in the links is not likely to be found when people do searches for things on the Internet because the words are interconnected with a URL, this post should be okay concerning my not using this site as an advertising tool. I try very hard not to even imply that I am doing any advertising here in order to preserve the integrity of this site.

    My ads will dominate a number of pages in the searches.

    If you have further questions, please let me know. I do know how to word your ad so that it will get better exposure. Also, there are good and bad sites on which a person can advertise as far as getting good exposure. I think that I know most of the best sites on which to advertise.

    My first name is Craig. You will see it in the ads.

    Please let me know what you think.

    Thanks!

    [Edit] I just took off the last search link because my email address was part of the search. But, it was really good!
  • Sep 14, 2008, 11:16 PM
    nanc1430
    You said that you had a few more things I might ad to the ads. Will I find it on the sites?
    I will go there now and look around. Thank you
    Talk to you after if your still on.
    nanc1430
  • Sep 14, 2008, 11:23 PM
    Clough
    Yes, you will find the extra words in my ads that you could also tailor to be in your ads according to your location. Even if a link doesn't look like it might be one of my ads, it might still be a good idea to click on the link, because my ads might be in there.

    I'm going to wait around awhile here...

    Just moved back into my home after house and dog-sitting for the weekend. It's been a very busy weekend!

    Clough
    By the way, I also have a cousin, Adam Clough who is also figuring pretty prominently in the dinner theater circuit around the U.S. I'm seeing stuff come up about him more and more in searches. He's about the same age as my daughter.
  • Sep 14, 2008, 11:26 PM
    nanc1430
    Thank you, I will check these all out and then if your still on I will get back to you but don't wait for me. I don't know how long this will take.
