Tampa Bay Pressure Cleaning Ad

[Apple Roof Cleaning 202]

Hey, look what I found advertised ?

I can relate to the guy, I really can.

It is about AS slow as I can remember in many years in business.

3 plus dollar a gallon Gas, high taxes, dropping home values, sky high insurance rates sure ain't good for business.

I understand that things are slow , believe me. I don't think that if it's a 600.00 job you should do it for cash flow.

That is what we are all against if you do it the next guy will as well then he will cut your throat and things get lower and lower.

Around here I just ride the wave keep my prices high and watch the low ballers dry up and go away. Try marketing improvement, offer $25. coupons with your adds, or dicounted gutter cleaning. People tend to slow down or even stop advertising when time are tough thats wrong. My work was slow my first two years but now we can turn are work flow on and off just with advertising.Always keep record of where your calls are coming from .Some ads work better than others. Part of good marketing is good record keeping.

I have said this many time before; Prices for house washes have come down. Part timers and painters are working for 50 to 75 dollars an hour. I did better on houses 10 years ago. People are working for less money and paying more for supplies. Good thing I have a clientele.
