Starting off a new business needs you to come up with gimmicks and promotions so that people will pay attention and notice what you’re selling or offering. It is simply because of your novelty that people don’t know about your business yet or maybe people don’t really that your business exists. Advertising doesn’t necessary mean spending big-bucks; a little creativity would go a long way in promoting your cleaning business.
If you think that you may need the same advertising budget as of a restaurant chain or you need a promoter for your business to be successful, and then think again. Some of things you can actually do are:
Start the promotions even before your open your business doors. Once you decided to open a cleaning business and you’re busily doing the setting up, put some time-off to inform your contracts that you’ll be opening a cleaning business soon. Inform friends and family as they may also have some to recommend you to. Or they may even be interested in availing your services too. It won’t hurt to get a good recommendation from someone you know.
Give out printed business cards and flyers. This would help get the word around that you are opening your business soon. Post flyers in community centers or the local gym. Place small where people frequently go or stay. Even a small space can contain an enumeration of your services and your contact number. This will open your business to a nice amount of customers already. Think of this as your movie trailer – the testing ground and building excitement for you business.
Second is to continue your promotions even after you’ve already opened up your business. Despite having a steady stream of clients, you should never slack off with your promotional efforts. You should continue luring new customers and keep them interested in your services. If you are providing great services, then you will have no trouble keeping the ones you’ve already have. Solicit feedbacks from your current clients and this will surely improve your business and keep them happy with your services. Test new kind of advertising scheme that you think would attract even more customers.
At this time, you can also cease to use advertising and marketing methods that don’t work for you. If it’s the ad you had playing in your radio station, then ask yourself and the station as well why your ad isn’t working. If your ad is not making waves you hoped for, then pull it out. This will give you more efforts to spare for those ads that really work.
Never be afraid to explore. Keep in mind that media is an ever changing dimension that you too may need to change techniques as the years passed. This comes as a part of your company’s growth. Like if you started part time work from home business, word of mouth and flyers can be great advertising. The high growth potential of cleaning services can lead you from being part time to full time sooner than you know it. By this time, you need to supplement your word of mouth and flyers with better and bigger ads.
Lastly, you may also offer discounts, sales and promotions from time to time or add new promotions or renew your ads once and a while.

Hi Andre,
I have my own unique way of promoting a cleaning business and I think in any type of business. If you will go online and market there you will have a wider coverage. You will be able to promote your products and services anywhere in the world and probably you'll generate more leads. It is still like a word of mouth but the difference is you are doing it online. More economical, you can save alot of time and money by doing it.
I've read something about what so called live customer support. I'm not sure if you are familiar but I know this will still be helpful for those who are planning to promote any type of business in the internet. It's a customer service business which provide live chat tech support to customers and can help convert visitors into customers especially if you have already built a website of your own. I've just learned this from a good friend of mine coz I'm also planning of marketing my products online and I'm still preparing for it. What I'm sharing right now is my personal plans and just thought it might help others as well.
You can learn more about this tool here -- onlinemarketingresource.blogspot.com/2009/10/live-chat-boosts-e-commerce-sales.html
I hope this would help. Good luck to everyone especially those who are planning to embark on online marketing.
