Hi I run a laundry service for domestic clients and small businesses. I have just started and trying to do advertising seems to be the worst, even a free advert requires someone to call you up and sell something!

It should all be so simple but hey ho, keep persevering!!

Any advice, comments etc are always welcome, feedback is always good xx

lol, yup, no such thing as a free lunch I'm afraid.

There's a pretty good directory I know which will give you a freebie and definitely won't call you, although may send you a few emails

On a serious note though, it can be a pain, and always becareful with who you sign up with, read any small print, use a specific email account etc...

Hope you find the forum useful and good luck with the business

Thank you, sounds intriguing ...

It is the SEO companies that I do not know enough about to sign up with, they all come across with such good banter, but have to research the night away to find out what it is they are really offering.

The forum is really useful thank you.

Good luck ... phew I think I just may need that!

Welcome Emma, there's certainly a demand for laundry service, so if you can beat the competitors you should be on a winner!

Hello and thank you, yes there certainly is, it is just getting people to be aware of it that is the tricky part, but working at it so hopefully it will all come piling in !
