After reading another post about promotion it made me think, and i am going to create a ongoing list of ways and places to promote.

This list will have the following structure

Online promotion

Offline promotion

Then links to places online and off to promote or get flyers etc....

So using this format below feel free to reply with your ideas and ways your promote, i will then slowly add your ideas to this post and remove your replies as i add them. We will then have a very useful promotion guide and list for all our members.

Online promotion

 


Offline promotion


 

 


Links, contact to services on and offline





==============================================

Below is the actual post and is going to be added to over time.

Direct Marketing

Telemarketing, call round local business and large commercials

canvassing door to door (Many feel this is the best way)

putting out flyers

putting out business cards (some say you get better response over flyers)

referral promotions

Indirect Marketing

Online Advertising

google ads

Yellow Pages

google places

Business Website

Submit your website to search engines (Don't do more than once or twice as search engines don't like you resubmitting over and over)

Business listings websites/ Local directories

Window cleaning directories

Getting your name out there

Vehicle wrapping

Logos printed on t-shirts

leaving business cards in local shops and takeaways etc

Advertising in the local paper

Getting printed sickers for puting on close doors

A4 laminated signs on fences and posts

Cross marketing with other local tradesmen, giving your business cards to pressure washers, gardeners, joiners etc

Logos and contact info on all your stationary - the easier it is for your customers to find your number, the easier it is for them to recommend you.

Buying work

Have a look on websites, like http://www.windowcleaningroundforsale.co.uk

Get to know other window cleaners, give them a call now and then, and ask if they are looking to sell any rounds.

Great post there, will add that now and hopefully slowly build on it as other add there ideas. /emoticons/wink.png

 
Yep hopefully we can build quite a nice comprehensive list.
Gav - we produced a guide recently about online marketing for small business owners. I'd be happy to post it somewhere if I can put a cheeky little link in there?

 
A friend of mine doing the attached flyers at £149 for 10,000 including dersign which I thought was good value. Im going to do some damage with that many...
That's good value. As a comparison, I ordered 5000 from VistaPrint that cost over £400!

 
That's a really nice design makes mine look rubbish lol

Any links to a site that i could add to the first post?
