As mentioned in an earlier post, use the current economy to your benefit.

Home sales are at record lows.  The problem is simple: too many homes on the market and too few people can or want to finance a house right now.  This will definitely change in the future but home sellers need to present their homes in the best possible light if they want to get any serious shoppers.  You might offer special packages of your services.  The key is to be creative and fill their current need.

Thats where you come in.  Try promoting your services with the idea of helping your customers showcase their homes for sale.  You might ever go so far as creating new brochures just for this purpose.

I know of a young man who created a brochure showcasing packages of his services.  He provided house painting and floor or carpet cleaning services.  He then wrote a printed a small article on the subject of the importance of presentng your home in the best possible condition to new house hunters.  Then he drove through local deveopments and left the info in the front door of those homes with ‘for sale’ signs.  (warning- do not leave in the mail box).

Guess what, in the first 20 or so flyers delivered he got 2 jobs.  You tell me, was it worth the effort?
