[Jo - Jmr Cleaning]

Hi everyone.

I have been cleaning for friends for a while and have  now decided to take the huge leap into running my own cleaning business.

I have a website and Facebook page and wondered if anyone could take a look (extra likes on facebook would be great  ) and offer any advice.

Site- www.jmrcleaning.co.uk
Facebook - www.facebook.com/jmrcleaning

The work is coming in slowly but surely from a mixture of word of mouth and leaflet drops.

Looking forward to learning from you all and hopefully sharing some leads.

Many thanks,

Jo

A clean simple no frills website.  I am going to offer my opinion!  Others may disagree but this is what I think!
Bear in mind anyone can find fault with websites!
1.  I think is mainly aimed at domestic customers. 
2.  As a company I would not consider you because it is a little too simple for me as a site. 
3   However, point 2 made there is a degree of honesty and integrity about it but I think it leaves you wide open to be taken advantage of. 
4.  I am not sure I would offer such an easy get out of jail card as no contract and virtually no notice for commercial customers.  i.e. I have just moved commercial premises and our warehouse currently looks like a bomb has hit it.  So for example I could get you in with a team to sort the 6 offices, 3 toilets, 2 kitchens, showroom and warehouse with the promise of regular work.  You then commit and stick a team in and sort it all out and I terminate you at the end of day 3 in the first week with 24 hours notice!  Because in reality it could be sorted in 3/4 days with a team of 2/3 people and then maintained 2 hours a day by one cleaner.
5.  Finally make your mind up you are either jmr/Jmr/JMR but not a mixture of all 3 throughout the site.

Thanks for that Kev,

I think they were all justified comments which need addressing.

I aimed the site at the domestic market to start as I thought that would be my main customer base but I'm sure time will tell.

You are right to comment on the easy termination of commercial jobs - The option of ceasing the clean was only for small premises but I do need to tighten this up and be clearer as to when I would ask for a longer notice period or maybe work to a contract.

Cheers for the comments.
