Just had a new logo designed, my kiddo just started school and now I need to get rolling with the WC more full time.
My question is this what have most of you folks done for specials/$$ off etc. for your ads be on-line/coupon mailers or flyers door to door that seemed to keep you busy enough. I have used $20-$25 off and had some hits with that. I have read here, some may offer free screen cleaning with a limit and a price value/ or x amount of windows free etc. What is the most $$ that you have offered off of jobs that were in the $150-250 range. There are some companies in this area that run $20-$40, but I think I would not be happy about the loss of the extra bit of $.
I have done $25 off before and it worked pretty well. To be honest I just rasied the price $25 so I didnt lose any money. Some might think thats wrong but if you go to a store and they are offering 25% off it because it was already marked up 125% or more.
You know what, I have just started out like yourself and I came up with the same company name as you! I am in Ireland so I dont think we have an issue…
I like the name for a number of reasons but went with it as my phone number has 2020 in it.
I am a graphic designer, designed all my own stuff including logo, it is a shame you have just got one done, I would have let you use mine no problem, it is a pretty good effort even if I do say so myself. We could have advertised as being a world wide company
I just put one together today for nearly the same reasons. We are a little slow with the ending of summer, but I expect it to pick up again, especially after we hand these out. We are just gonna try and hit some lower-mid range neighbor hoods (1900-3200 sq. ft. homes) that are valued at around $175,000 or so with these printed fliers.
This time I choose to do a run of these on my office printer and get them out fast. I’ll have the guys pass them out on Friday. I’ll let you know how it goes.
There are a few things I am going to change before I print them. I need to add the phrase “per window” after the discount in the coupon. I also need to change the discount % above the expiration date.
I am anxious to see how these do.
If I can help you with anything, Steven, let me know.
Bert, didn’t you mean "owner on site " instead of “on sight” ?
You can use both I guess, different meanings, but just wanted to let you know just in case you didn’t see it.
The flyers that I have been passing out at homes the last two days
have had either $20 or $25 off service by mid October, and if they have the service done by September 19th they can have 10 screens washed for free (a $20.00 value). Always fun trying to figure out what works.
I like the fans thing because we do screen cleaning anyways, so it is an easy gimme to the customer that they really like. Most never clean their own fans anyways.
