What are good advertising strategies for a local business?

Business advertising on vehicle for carpet cleaning?

  • I started a carpet cleaning business late last year. Ive been working pretty consistently but i want to get more customers. I advertise door to door and business to business handing out cards and special offer coupons. Its been pretty good but i need more. I recently started advertising on the classifieds and newspapers. My question is, would putting business decals with the name and phone numbers and what we do on our vans get good results as well? Anyone else advertise on theyre vehicle for any business?? And if so, do you get results?? Thanks for any help. :-)

    Yeah, such advertising will definitely bring good results because almost everyone get a good view of your ads whenever a vehicle in which you've posted the ad roams around. And classifieds, another best way to bring about quality customers. Offline advertising is also a good source getting customers but you should also try out some online ways. The best way is to send emails to many Targeted email lists, there are paid sources as well as free sources. But I recommend the paid sources because they drive quality customers. Here is a website providing cheap ads, so you can purchase a package, give them your advertisement text and tell them to which country they should target this email to. More the number of subscribers, higher the chance to get more customers. http://hitswire.com/YACA

Sure that's useful cheap exposure, you might have a little business card folder attached as well for people walking past in the parking lot. There's a guy on the internet with a marketing training course specifically for carpet cleaning businesses, I believe he talks about postcard mailings and replacing full page yellow page ads with a small one that directs people to a 24 hour information line, he's found some people will listen to a 15 minute long message. The city of L.A. just banned mobile signs, but they are more of the billboard on a trailer type, I believe if it fits the contour of the car it's OK in L.A. (The advertisers defeated lawsuits trying to stop full multi story building sized overlaid billboards) ----- Following up on my earlier note, the guy who teaches marketing, who started with Carpet Cleaning seminars and courses is Joe Polish. http://www.joepolish.com/ He developed the core technique his meth used by hiring a professional writer to create The consumer guide to carpet cleaning, and a couple hundred more to make a 10 minute script version, he advises replacing your large yellow page ads with something business card sized that says, "Don't call another cleaner until you hear this 24 hour consumer information message" Here's the pitch for he course, which I believe includes his pre-written sales materials. http://www.joepolish.com/professionalcarpetcleanersandrestorers.php
