Free Report for Carpet Cleaning Business

by

Hitman Advertising launches a free report to help carpet cleaning businesses with their postcard advertising.  The report is a step-by-step guide to show cleaning companies how to go about mailing postcards and every door direct mail pieces.  It’s available for instant download.

Advertising a small business is tough these days.  Consumers are constantly bombarded by advertising messages more than ever.  They are skeptical to respond to any type of marketing message.  And for the cleaning business, advertising can easily be ten to twenty percentage of the operating budget.

Failed advertising can ruin a company.  A cleaning business operates in a way that it relies on repeat clients calling again and again for frequent cleaning.  But in order to get this repeat business in, client mailers are key.  Many of the most successful cleaning businesses in the world use postcards to grow their business.

Postcards are a popular choice for cleaning companies because of the relative low investment in printing and fulfillment.  When mailing postcards there is no need to stuff envelopes or fold letters.  And there are even ways to have the postcard labeled for you.  The ease of using postcards makes postcard marketing an attractive alternative for the carpet cleaning business.

John Braun, owner of Hitman Advertising, said, “I’ve seen postcard advertising double the sales of several carpet cleaning companies.  It’s all about frequent communication with the right message to the right prospect.  Marketing to the clients that have used a cleaning company in the past is smart.  And repeatedly advertising to targeted neighborhoods is smart too.”

Hitman Advertising specializes in helping cleaning companies get the most profit possible from their advertising.  They are now offering the free report, “How to Cut Your Postcard and Newsletter Marketing Costs in Half” at https://www.hitmanadvertising.com/blog/cut-your-marketing

You can visit their website at www.Hitmanadvertising.com or call 888-211-7702 for the free report.

Hitman Advertising Launches New Podcast

by

Hitman Advertising along with the trade publication ICS Magazine launches the Hitman Advertising Show. Carpet Cleaning companies learn how to market their business.

Hitman Advertising and ICS Magazine launch new podcast to help carpet cleaning businesses with marketing.  The podcast show is called ” ICS Magazine Presents The Hitman Advertising Show.”  It is found on Itunes, Hitman Advertising’s blog and ICS Magazine’s site.

It can be tough for a carpet cleaning business to learn how to get new leads.  As with any small business, advertising is expensive.  It can cost an average of $50-100 for a company to gain one new client.  And many carpet cleaning companies through their money into advertising with little to no results.

In this new economy, starting up a small business that requires little capital is common.  A carpet cleaning service is a popular choice for many beginning entrepreneurs with a small budget.  But the number one cause of business failure is lack of planning.

John Braun, owner of Hitman Advertising, said, “I’ve been helping carpet cleaning businesses use the right kind of advertising to grow their business for five years.  When I thought of starting a podcast on this subject, ICS Magazine was the first choice for me to joint venture with.  I love helping cleaning companies grow and get more business.

Episode 1 is already published and available to listen online or download.  The first episode subject sets the tone.  It’s about how to brand a carpet cleaning business.  Branding is the foundation that every business needs to help prospects and clients remember who they are.

5 Deadly Mistakes About Postcard Marketing

by

Postcard marketing can be VERY profitable for a cleaning biz.

One of the postcards in the Ad Coaching Club
Client Postcard/Newsletter

* Postcards are easy to mail

* You can reach your EXACT target prospect

* Flexible budget- spend as little as $100 or as much $10k

* Return on investment can be as high as 8-to-1 (or higher)

These days, the a common mistake is, “I’m cutting my postcard marketing and doing email marketing instead”.  HUGE MISTAKE!  Postcards are king of cleaning advertising.  Regularly mailing postcards to clients and targeted neighborhoods is one of the smartest things you can do.

Mistake #1: Not understanding your different mailing options.  First class is great for a small mailing of fewer than 200.  Bulk mail is best for mailing to your current clients or a specific mailing list.  Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) is great to target entire neighborhoods with postcards over 6.5×9 inches even if you don’t have a mailing list.

See more about EDDM here.

Mistake #2: Spending too much money on printing.  Printers charge a huge range of prices.  If you’re paying more than $50 to have 1000 full color 4×6 inch postcards printed, you’re paying too much.  Find a reliable, quality printer with good prices.  This is one area where saving money equals more profit.

Get details about printing here.

Mistake #3: Sending out a postcard with NO offer or unique sales message.  Why spend the time and money with postcards if the postcard isn’t designed to sell your cleaning services.  Include an irresistible offer and set your company apart from the competition.

See how to make a postcard sell your service

Mistake #4: Mailing to new prospects only and neglecting your current clients.  This is the biggest mistake.  Your current clients are your gold mine.  Don’t let them forget you.  Mail newsletters or postcards to all your clients every one to two months.  I promise your repeat client rate and referrals will explode.

Mistake #5: Doing the postcard design, printing, and labeling yourself.  You can waste time trying to do this yourself.  But you can also waste money.  Printing postcards on your own printer is expensive.  If you have this done efficiently, you can actually save money over doing this yourself.  In the Hitman Coaching Club, we do the graphic design for you, help you facilitate your mailing and even get you BIG discounts off printing.  We can even get the postcards labeled for you and save you money on postage.
