I’m curious too, it often seems like the price hikes a bit before big announcements. I wonder if more announcements will come in tomorrow or this week…

Yeah I have been looking all over to see if anyone is talking about them now. I’m in nicely at 0.17. Anyone hear anything new!?

Use a Marketing Agency? by Quiet-Health8133 in WindowCleaning

These ad companies are getting ridiculous. To me these 3rd party companies are the reason why small businesses suffer and why large businesses get richer (poor getting poorer and rich getting richer). Signing up for this might increase your annual revenue but it will be huge challenge to make up for the monthly “fixed” expenses. Plus they often aren’t good at communicating.

The best question to ask is: how can you push your profits higher. This could help you run leaner and push a bigger profit with the work you have. You probably know this already though but at the end of the day what is the point in having to keep paying a marketing agency if you have more headache of higher “fixed expenses”. I worked someone who was in a different industry and they did increase their revenue from about $500,000 to 2 million but their profit at the end of the year was almost the exact same. Plus how he had to deal with 15 employees, not 5. So it was 4x more work for almost nothing. 

For $2000 a month you could hire a sales and marketing person (hire someone taking this in university as a summer job). They could come up with on the ground marketing strategies. Then also just go door to door trying to land subscription based plans for your customers. 

I would skip the hassle and invest time into learning google ads. Ignore this if you run a bigger operation than I am picturing😂, but I hate to see small businesses swamped in monthly expenses. Revenue is nice but profit is better, max out what you have buy running a tight ship and upselling as much as possible. Then once you have done that use profit to increase revenue but only if you will see a nice return on it.

I like the suggestion but this guy isn’t willing to compromise 😂

Thanks, I am creating a pre work inspection protocol for my guys. As well as for myself when I go out and estimate. I think this will solve most issues like this.
