Target Marketing !deas For Residential Carpet Cleaners

So,what should be our starting point? A small, specific target that you can afford to hit every single month. 5k to 10k households max. For research you can go to the eddm tool at the post office https://www.usps.com/business/every-door-direct-mail.htm Nobody can tell you who to target, have to do some research and carve out a manageable group of households not population but households. Areas with good paying jobs is a start. Use some common sense, people who make $30k a year can’t afford  rates of $400 a year to clean. How? EVERYTHING you can afford for that target consistently for the next 12 months 1. EDDM 2. Coupon mailers 3. Adwords 4. door hangers 5. website 6. any potential referral source you can think of (use common sense only millionaires use interior decorators) realtors, maid service, plumbing, window washers anybody who services that neighborhood. 7. Social media 8.Craigslist 9. Networking 10. Paid social media- angies, yelp, etc. This is the easiest way to learn, its ju

Using Google Maps To Build Sales Routes

This is going to be helpful mainly in macro marketing campaigns where you cant control where the customer calls from. Think adwords, website, newspaper, etc. You take the information and download into an excel sheet (no formulas needed). Just use top bar to list name,address, city, state, zip, phone, or whatever else. Then save in csv. and go to google mymaps to upload. You can upload the info and see on a map where clusters are occurring. So for example you can upload all your internet customers or all your tile customers, adwords, etc and see if anything interesting happens. The cool thing is you can layer it so each one is colored differently. Its really unlimited…. Here is a link of a small one i did for carpet retailers to see what i mean. Cant really see anything specific i know but try it with hundreds or thousands and you will definitely see clusters in some cases. Which may give you an idea of where to invest next. https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zZZC0IB_z5Bc.ku761cf_vy

Landing Pages

Landing Pages Basically its a webpage you send leads to learn more information about your company, more info on a specific subject and/or schedule an estimate or appointment. What kinds? 1. traditional “seo guy” meaning is a page separate from your website and is only 1 page. Most are set up simple to solicit a quick response. An example might be you want to focus an adwords campaign just about stone refinishing or pet odor removal. So you would buy a domain like stonerefinishingpro.com or whatever and create 1 simple page with info about that subject and a request estimate form and option go to your main website. 2.
