Hello.
I've been running my cleaning for three years , part time since my son was born in 2012. I employ five people, all part-timers . I want to grow , I've set myself a target to increase my income £100 per week. Has someone been on a point I am now? Advertising in a local papers works, but I need more now.   
How do you work on domestic cleaning, do you send on or two cleaners?
Any advice, please?

[Smudger]

Sorry not much help as we do windows and exterior cleaning,  but I sympathise as I have been through this dilemma myself.

Best of luck and I hope you get some decent advice

Improve your website, get some good content on there, then consider running an Adwords campaign. It could potentially bring you in more work.

[Roger Oakley]

As Neil stated, improve your website, I had a look and sorry it is really basic, didn't inspire me at all.
I know these things cost money but if you do it right it will be money well spent.
Not a lover of Adwords myself, prefer SEO campaign, works for me.

Good Luck, the work is out there, you just need to tap into it

hi roger - mrs smudger here, may I ask do you manage/run your own SEO campaign or do you have someone you use?

I have someone do it for me.

[Smudger]

Would you be able to recommend them to me at all? (as you know we operate in a completely different area of the country) - would you rather I emailled you direct?

Tip look at website

You need to have a growth plan.

I want to be in such and such a place by a given year. How am I going to make that happen.

Speak to business link, they will help you massively. I found them invaluable in my first two or three years.

Look for a company that will mentor you.

Website, website, website, website

I gave out a business card today to a principal contractor working on a local project. It may come to nothing but he didn't have my number and now he knows about my business

I noticed a problem whilst walking through a local town. I found the right channels and have to put an email proposition forward - to the right man.

Website - phone call on Thursday to assist in a project pending - I didn't know them, they did a search for one of my services and I have an appointment tomorrow.

Get your name out there, through leaflets.

Offer your current clients an incentive to introduce you to their friends

Get a website

There's a pattern here

Website is the 1st line of enquiry these days I find.

[B Bailey]

I have the same website guy, as Roger, he is worth his weight in gold.

[Smudger]

Hi B Bailey - I am right in thinking you use Immersive Media - may I ask the name of the guy you use there? I want to give them a call after reading Rogers and your comments and see what they may suggest for us.
