Are there any new idears for promoting

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

Your self /business ,as for years i have just sent out flyers in the post and relied on repeat customers ! but with this recession Biting hard ! any ideas would benefit us all i think so please add your ideas

 

[Bubblecraft]

I have certain places where I advertise & I get a great turn around from it for new clientele. If I posted up my secrets, they'd all be at it & I'd have no work lol

how about e- mailing peeps instead of flyers ?? is it legal ? is it expensive ? anyone do this ?

 

[Bubblecraft]

Its legal as long as you list the can spam act & give them a link or option to reply to stop emails. If your server isn't set up for mass emails, you could be blacklisted though so just be careful.

Here's your disclaimer:
The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited ****ography and Marketing Act) establishes requirements for those who send commercial email, spells out penalties for spammers and companies whose products are advertised in spam if they violate the law, and gives consumers the right to ask mailers to stop spamming them. Reply to the above email ***@***.com and we ensure you will not receive any such mails.

Just a suggestion,but you could change your name ,pools are an exlusive part of the market,the average client doesnt want a pool tiling the want a bathroom or kitchen etc.

If i was looking for a tiler,i would look at a tiling website not one that looks like it exclusively a swimming pool(tiling) site.

IMHO

That's what set's him apart though isn't it? and the type of work he's after, if anything set up another website advertising domestic tiling

 

[DHTiling]

Hence why he is a POOL! finisher , not just a tiler..

lets put it this way dpf, you can do a tilers job but not all of them can do what you can do!

i'd set up another business as mr republic said..do high end bathrooms, wet rooms and maybe a page of stone patios with some bespoke mosaic feature?? just an idea (although i'm usless at this marketing lark)

you can do all the tiling, sub prep, bespoke feature work and sub the plumbing out..in might take a year or so to really get off the ground but if you aim for 1 full bathroom a month then thats 10 days work covered each month to start with.

and when you turn up at these posh gaffs and show then your pool and spa work, well i reckon you'd practically have the job already mate
