I’m Giving Away A Professional Website (why 2 websites are better than 1)

Re:  I’m Giving Away A Professional Website (why 2 websites are better than 1)
From: John Braun

Recently I sent you a message about why I won’t be attending Barry O’Connell’s RugLovers Tour this September in Vegas.
https://rugbadger.infusionsoft.com/go/rltour/hitman/

The reason, as I mentioned, is because my wife is having our 4th baby so I’m staying right here where I belong.

But YOU should be there! (unless you or your wife is having a baby of course)

As a matter of fact, if you do attend the RugLovers Tour, there’s a good chance you could win one of the professional websites I’m giving away that’s totally focused on area rug care.

But What If You Already Have An Area Rug Cleaning Website?

That’s great because with a second site you can get even more online search listings.

If you’re dubious about the value of an additional website, do a Google search for “Carpet Cleaning Pensacola.”  My company websites (I have 4) come up 3-4 times in the top ten.  Do you think this gives me an edge on the competition? You can have the same edge I do.

So what will you be getting?

At start-up, you will have a website that

Is beautiful and focused entirely on area rug cleaning
Optimized with the best keywords possible for your rug business
I have a HUGE advantage over other SEO Pros, because I’ve probably gotten more cleaning websites to the top of Google than any other SEO pro around. Most SEO Pros are too lazy to REALLY find the best keywords in each niche the deal with.  After the initial optimization, your site is put on a special link network to give you better optimization and continuing optimization is done for your site to get it to rank even higher.

Here are a couple examples of some high ranking websites I’ve already created for clients

Here is how you can win high ranking, competition crushing website

This website I’ll develop for you will be worth a minimum of $1500 and all you have to do is

Be one of the attendees at the 2013 Vegas RugLovers Tour ( https://rugbadger.infusionsoft.com/go/rltour/hitman/)
Guess the birth weight of my new baby (or be the closest to it) while on the Tour
All the entries will be collected at the tour. Then once the baby is born and the winning entry is found I’ll contact the winner (hopefully you!) to get things rolling.

So that’s it.

All you have to do now is register for the RugLovers Tour.

But do it quick as there is a good chance it’s headed for a sell out.

Vegas RugLovers Tour, But I Can’t Go

Area rugs.

You’ve heard me talk about them before and how profitable rugs have been for my business.

And you should strongly consider making rugs a big part of your business.

Listen, if you’ve ever been…

  • afraid of cleaning area rugs
  • unsure how to make it part of your business
  • wondering how to make it profitable
  • confused on how to price the service
  • worried about your competition

There’s an important event happening soon that I’d LOVE to attend.  But I can’t go.  And I have a REALLY good excuse.  I’ll tell you more about my dilemma in a minute.  But first, hear about this.

The event is Barry O’Connell’s 2013 Vegas RugLovers Tour. It’s the most important event of the year that guarantees you will learn how to quickly build a profitable area rug cleaning business – no matter who your competition is.
https://rugbadger.infusionsoft.com/go/rltour/hitman/

Now before you decide anything, I want you to see a couple of things first:

1) A testimonial from someone who in less than a year was able to

  • start a area rug cleaning division along side their carpet cleaning business
  • shut down the painting company he hated but needed to keep
  • charge an average of $5.50 sq ft now (used to only be $1.25 at best)

2) A case study on someone who created a 1000 percent (yes a thousand) increase in business.
https://rugbadger.infusionsoft.com/app/hostedEmail/2121423/ed6d9fbec1fd799f?inf_contact_key=aab7e70b0cf915c0d7aacec8fdb88059

The reasons why The RugLovers Tour is able to create success after success is because they

  • teach you how to be the best cleaner in your area.
  • show you how to powerfully market area rug cleaning (usually at zero cost)
  • show you why your competition doesn’t matter
  • help you even after the tour ends

The great thing about this year’s launch of the RugLovers Tour is its set to happen just before with the Experience Convention & Trade Show – and in the same hotel! So now once the RugLover Tour is done, stay for the Convention to take advantage of all that this show offers.

Why Won’t I Be Going To The RugLovers Tour???
I would really love to go but my wife says, “NO WAY!”

The fact is we are having our 4th baby right at the beginning of September. I tried to sweet talk her into letting me go, but ain’t happening!  But unless you have this same problem, you need to go.

So if you’ve ever thought about starting or growing the rug care part of your business then I most highly recommend you check this out and sign up asap as I hear the tour is headed for a sell out.

Water Damage Restoration Marketing

There are LOTS of things you can do to drum up water damage business:

  1. Start marketing to plumbers.  Give them educational brochures and gift cards for free moisture inspections.  Become their friend by regularly visiting their offices with candy or treats.
  2. Market to Realtors. They constantly get calls from clients who have water or mold problems.  Give them the same educational materials and goodies.
  3. Market to carpet and flooring Retailers.  Give them the same brochures, educational materials and goodies.
  4. Market to your current clients.  Send them your newsletters and postcards with articles educating them about water damage.
  5. Market to high-end neighborhoods immediately after heavy rain or flooding.  Have postcards ready to go immediately after a heavy rain event.  You can send HUGE postcards through Every Door Direct Mail for 16 cents per piece.  Canvas the neighborhoods that are likely to have been affected the most and who have the money to readily pay for your services.

If you do these five things routinely, you’ll build up a great water damage business.  Just keep plugging away and all five of these.

5-Around Doorknob Hangers

Re: Five-Around Doorknob Hangers
From: John Braun

Here’s an interesting neighborhood marketing tactic…

When you clean for someone in a nice neighborhood, leave a doorknob hanger on five of the homes surrounding your client’s home.

But don’t just leave any old doorknob hanger.  It needs a few key components for it to get maximum bang.

Farming high-end neighborhoods is some of the most profitable advertising you can do. Pick the neighborhoods you want and go to work!

Neighborhood Marketing [Podcast #3]

Targeting high-end neighborhoods is one of the best means of advertising a cleaning company can do.

You can use flyers to target neighborhoods, but Direct mail is the best way to get clients in the biggest homes, in the best neighborhoods, and in an area of town you want to service.

  1. The old way with bulk mail where you buy mailing list.
    1. Yearly bulk mail permit fee.
    2. 25 cents bulk mail
    3. With mailing list, continually clean up mailing lists.
  2. The new way with EDDM no contract and 16 cents per home!
  3. EDDM requires
    1. Mailer be at least 6×8 inches and up to 12×14.
    2. Print it with the proper insignia and info.  Local Postal Customer City, State.
  1. Tips for better response of your EDDM.
    1. Include a compelling headline on each ad with a big promise or big benefit.  You’ll Get the Cleanest Carpet in Atlanta or The Secret to Removing Any Pet Stain.
    2. Include an offer with each ad.  Don’t just use X rooms for $X.  Do something your competitor is NOT doing.
    3. When you mail to a neighborhood, don’t be a one hit wonder.  Remember not everyone is interested in cleaning at the time you mail to them.
    4. Try EDDM.  Many cleaners love the versatility and the type of clients they get.
      1. Commit to a small test of at least 1000 homes.
      2. Mail to the same people at least three times.
      3. Mail them a great offer with a big promise.
      4. Once you get a system down that gets a great response, do it over and over.
