Happy New Year!  2016 is now upon us.  As a business owner, it is a great time to reflect on 2015 and see what went right and what needs improvement.  One area of reflection should be “Marketing.”

Historically, professional carpet cleaning companies are usually slower in the month of January.  This is a perfect time to re-evaluate your company’s marketing practices.   Take a look at 2015 and analyze the data.  How much money did you spend in marketing?  Breakdown how much went into each specific marketing/advertising program you did in 2015.  Now, analyze how much each marketing program brought back in revenue.  You can now calculate your ROI (return on investment) for each marketing program you implemented.  You will notice that some marketing dollars brought back bigger returns than others.

Now that you are armed with your 2015 data, take some time to figure out how you can improve your ROI.  Maybe some of these marketing dollars can be shifted to a new marketing program that can produce better results?  Too many carpet cleaning business owners continue to spend marketing $$$ in areas just because they have “always done so.”  Just because certain marketing techniques worked in the past, doesn’t mean that they are effective in the present/future!
