I carry post cards with me and will put them around the peoples house we cleaned for. It will have, on the back, “just cleaned for your neighbor at”. We have gotten a semi good response from this. It’s called 5 around. Some times I will sit down on internet and use google maps. I type in addresses around these peoples neighborhoods and if it doesn’t exist, then I will move and if it exists, then I send a card. Way to go. You have a great idea and hope it works well for you. Cost you some ink and paper and 5 minutes to place. The van in front of the house works well also.

Got a phone call from YP.com by LiveDeal. They said they could guarantee return on $2500 investment. They direct searches for carpet cleaning and whatever else you do to your web sight. They say that the search can be originated from any search engine.
Has anyone else heard of this? I would also like more response on anyone else using anything similar to this type of advertising.
The selection of advertising sources are endless and expensive. When I started my business over 5 years ago, I fell hook, line and sinker to way too many advertising gimmicks. I am now proud to say that I can honestly tell an ad salesperson that I am too busy to advertise. Excluding my yellow pages, I have not advertised at all in the past 16 months, yet my sales continue to grow. I have found that the BEST way to advertise is to do your BEST with Heaven’s BEST. This is a quote from the Kevin Costner movie (Field of Dreams) “If you build it, they will come”
Another bit of advice I have in addition to doing your best is to brush your teeth at least twice per day and always smile to your customers!!
We were working today in a church and it came to me…the words of Elbert Hubbard:
The reward for a job well done today, is more work tomorrow.
It was true over 100 years ago and true today. If we say or do something dumb or even, in innocence, our actions are misunderstood, people are waiting for us to slip up.
Doing an honest job, without clock-watching, thorough as possible…and each of us will be rewarded.
Just my 2 cents worth.

PatMike,
Your lucky… I have never heard of the THIEVES at Verizon ever giving back a single dollar. The best I have ever heard from them is:
“We will give you FREE color next year”.
I can’t repeat what I said to that.Now I only place “line listings” in the phone book.
And I still broke my all time sales record last month.Good Luck.
I’d love to see the packet as well!
