Poll--Which advertising is the most effective?

[johnbraun]

Based on your personal experience, what media generally pulls the best response for you? Referrals or repeat clients are not included as this isn't considered advertising.

1. Yellow Pages
2. Coupon Books or Coupon Mailers
3. Radio
4. Television
5. Direct mail--postcards, letters, etc
6. Billboards--or other outdoor ads
7. Website--Internet marketing
8. Local magazines or Classifieds
9. Newspaper

Also, answer which media pulls the worst results?

 

[Greg Loe]

1. referral program
2. direct mail
3. direct contact
4. networking (BNI)
5. yp
6. van sign

in that order of results

advertising

Internet marketing out pulls all media by far. The reason why this form of advertising is so effective is because you can literally show up on the search listings right when someone is typing in words for carpet cleaning.

This can be accomplished with both paid advertising and free search engine traffic.

I know first hand the power of the Internet. And until I discovered it, I was barely making a living. Mostly I was contracting from other companies to make ends meet. I never really got out on my own until I figured out how to market on the Internet.

I now have a thriving six figure business and I owe everything and I do mean everything to the Internet.

So Bobby, you coming to Mikefest to show your system?

 

[bgclean]

I would love to! But my commitment to my business, my four kids and the distance is going to keep me from it this go round.

I am going to the connections event in Florida this coming May.

Thx,

There's no doubt that all the other forms of advertising work, but if we're talking about return on investment (ROI) nothing has more bang for your buck than the Internet. (IF DONE PROPERLY!)

Okay Bobby, we heard you the first time. Thanks for your input.

Hey Bobby,
what would you say is the best advertising avenue and why

 

[Jtuseo]

Internet is above all

 

[Mikey P]

Since January 1st of this year I have had over 60 calls from my card to my repeats, maybe 20 or so new clients and a whopping six from the web.


Keep in mind that this is not cleaning season here in Northern California

 

[Bob Foster]

Mike are you still doing the AdWord thing?

 

[Greg Loe]

I know of 1 person that has done good with Internet pay per click.

I tried it and wasn't worth my time. Every call was just like a yp call. I suppose if you clean like a coupon hack cleaner(not all you) 9.99 per room, then it would be great.

But like I always say, "every area is different, you must test".

 

[Blue Monarch]

Adword seems too pricey for me. Site optimization seems more reasonable. If I ever get a decent looking site, I may re-think things.

 

[Bob Foster]

The prices I hear for site optimization vary from $150 to over $750 a month.

 

[Becker]

1st For me door to door fliers.
I have not done them in years, but got some of my 1st clients with fliers and still have a lot of them today.
2ND direct mail
3rd Would be some sort of bulk mail.


Of course the all time best is referral marketing. But that goes without saying.

 

[Derek]

similar to Becker (but i don't do fliers), best thing for me is hitting the pavement.

greet & meet. price = my time and gas $$

ROI is huge.

thanx --- Derek.

 

[XTREME1]

Do you meet and greet at homes or just businesses?

 

[Derek]

only commercial, good point.

thanx --- Derek.

Marketing

I've tried all of those ways of marketing and they all work to some degree but, the marketing program that I have developed and began sharing, works much better that all those listed and has a better return on investment. (100-1 or better!)

It is the holy grail of marketing-

It's easy, fill in a few blanks, just a couple of dollars a month to implement and about 1 hour of your time in your home, van or office.

(some months I don't spend any money or time)

This marketing does not involve spam, doing anything unethical, paying referral fees or doing free work.

You don't even have to do any selling. (great for the timid)

Your prices don't matter either

You'll wonder why no one else is doing this kind of marketing, but you!

Sounds like a miracle. What is it they say about too good to be true?

Best Marketing

It may sound too good to be true but, It's not

It's the real deal!

Find out for yourself.

30 day money back guarantee.

If you don't want to advertise to thousands of great residential customers every month for pennies. 1 hour of your time (in your underwear if you want). No selling. Simple,easy just fill in the blanks.

Send it back for a full refund and I'll sell it to your competition!



-Or you can keep it and have marketing for pennies or less a month forever!

You won't have to do damn thing the rest of your life once you get it started and this marketing will still bring in customers. That's because this marketing is on autopilot once you get it started.


Your kids will continue to get customers for nothing with this marketing after you retire.

This is not a spam E-mail program or a get rich scheme.

But, it will bring in a steady stream of new residential customers.


Why marketing just like everyone else?


If you are the first in your area to use this marketing you will get the leg up on your competition!
