\"Office Cleaning\"
Many a small thing has been made large by advertising-Mark Twain
And yes... advertising! The statement quoted above says it all. Advertising your cleaning services is a major determinant of the extent of its growth. You may be the best cleaner in town, charge the lowest office cleaning rates, have the most dedicated staff, but if your clients are not aware of this, you might just be on the fast track to bankruptcy. I'm sure you can now agree with me that advertising your business is an integral part of its success.
Your excuse may be that you cannot afford the services of an ad company since yours is just a small business. Hey, you can strike that out this minute! While securing the services of an ad company is definitely helpful, it's not the only way. There are less expensive ways of achieving the same result: growing your office cleaning business. The purpose of this article is to discuss a few of these ways.
Do a great job: this is a particularly important step. For a small office cleaning concern like yours, the best form of advertising is word of mouth or recommendations from those you've worked for. If you do a great job, they will tell others and if you also do a shoddy job, the same thing applies.
Build your Clientele base: this is relevant to preparing your resume especially if you are just starting out. You may have to take some jobs at lower rates to establish your office cleaning company.
Develop a strong resume: be sure to include your strong points, your experience, jobs you have handled... If necessary, employ the services of a professional resume builder. Since this is the first contact between you and your prospective clients, it must put you in the best light. Don't lie.
Conduct a research to identify prospective clients: once you've identified them, present proposals to them letting them know why they should employ your company to clean their offices.
