Putting in the work, but no clients yet. What would you do in my shoes?
I recently started my pool service business here in Miami. I’ve been working hard to get it off the ground, created a clean competitive website, post regularly on social media, and even hand out handwritten cards door to door. But despite all that, I’m still struggling to find clients. I know the pool industry is highly competitive here. For those of you with more experience, what helped you get customers early on? Thanks in advance 🙏 Also, if you're in Miami and ever want to connect in person, I’d be happy to meet up and exchange insights.

Building a pressure washing business with sweat equity. I've been leaving flyers and tear aways at local businesses.

Something I notice a LOT in many marketing strategies is the overwhelming amount of detail people put into their campaign. To clarify, lets take a look at the ways people market. Yardsigns, social media ads, business cards, vehicle wraps, billboards, etc. Lets remember what the goal is in marketing. BRAND RECOGNITION Keep It Simple Stupid Less is MORE When a prospect is driving at 45mph in their vehicle, they can NOT read the tiny cursive lettering on your dark colored, detail cluttered, yard sign. Same with all other campaigns and products. All marketing needs to lead to somewhere. Like a website or social media page where you your customers can get all the information they need to know. Until then, the marketing needs to immediately show with as few words and details as possible who you are, what you are, and lastly a phone number, web address, or QR code. Pick a company color, logo, font, and repeat it across all platforms and displays. Maintain something the customer will begin to recognize. Make it simple and clear to read.

We're a small home remodeling company that's looking to scale our business. One of our goals before going all-in on growth is establishing a firm, professional appearance. This year, we finalized our logo, developed several online profiles, and most importantly adopted a wonderfully streamlined system software... Now, we just need standard outfits for our crews. We've been hovering around this for a while, almost as if we have analysis paralysis. A wise, wealthy man once told me, "It's not about how much you know; it's knowing where to find what you need to know." So instead of wandering the webs, I'd love to get your thoughts/advice on how and where to go about establishing outfits for your company!267Views3likes2Comments
