Question:

Handing out Cleaning Flyer's

by  |  earlier

0 LIKES UnLike

I used to get cleaning jobs from word of mouth until after I had my son. I have made up flyer's and really don't want to put them in the grocery store or anything like that because I don't want to travel to far to clean with the way gas prices are. So my question is should I go to specific neighborhoods and knock on doors to hand out flyer's, how should I go about handing them out?

  1. Flyers are great, be sure to list your services, free estimates, if you're bonded and licensed. BUT...DO NOT put your flyers inside a mailbox--it's illegal.  Tucked in the 'flag' (as mentioned), under a windshield wiper, in a paper tube or taped to the sides of those multiple 'community' mailboxes is perfectly O.K.

    Business cards are a must, too.

    Here's another idea--

    Magnetic signs and, better, a vinyl wrap for your vehicle.  They aren't very expensive, in the long run, and it turns your vehicle into a mobile billboard.  Every time you're in traffic, someone will read it (best if you have something on the back of your vehicle-short & sweet), whenever you park your vehicle, people see it.

    Now here's the trick, park your vehicle where you want to get business!  In busy parking lots, by the entrance/exit or intersection.  In or around the neighborhood you want to work in or the office/commercial area, so it appears you already have business there!

    There's more about what to put on your sign and marketing ideas here.....


  2. do what everyone else does put them on peoples windshield wipers in parking lots close to your house, also go around to the neighborhoods and just place them in between the mailbox and the flag or even in their mailboxes!

  3. you may first want to make sure you have nice flyers made to catch people eyes (maybe a nice design too)

    I know Reduced Printing has both printing and design services at a low cost.

    Secondly, I would hire kids looking for a part time job to distribute the flyers door-to-door and around stores/cars in the neighborhood. You can post an ad and find some help at CraigsList.org
