I am talking about sending out emails pertaining to what you do to local apt complexes, buisnesses and such with pictures as well

I send out emails to Realtors about once a month and the results are so so. I track opens etc through constant contact. Get more PW business than anything else.

I've tried it a few different ways.  Buying the email addresses definitely doesn't work. 

The best results I have are from re contacting my regular customers to get referrals by email.  (I offer them a bird dog fee if I get the job)

I make sure I get the email address of all of my customers.  I have never had a complaint from any of them or their referrals.

My best results are from Direct Mail and knocking on doors.

WOW, 66% not good. I know this has nothing to do with roof cleaning but it goes to the question. I sent out faxes and emails to the same Apt. and Realtors, about something I wont say what. It was for a business. I received more call back from the faxes then the emails. So I will be doing that again when I get all set up for roof cleaning. May be you can try that. It will not be in color but it wont go in the spam file.

This is something I plan on doing in the near future. I will be using Constant Contact. Tested out Go Daddy's email marketing system, but found it to be less user friendly than Constant Contact. Both services are failry inexpensive.

I was thinking of doing selective referral fees too. Do you mind sharing what you typically give for that?

i haven't done much marketing at all yet. i'm just starting out, first post actually, but been reading for a couple months. i have mostly knocked on doors and upselled the roof cleaning to some of my existing detail and powerwash customers. once i start getting busier and fine tuning everything to my satisfaction i plan on emailing property owner associations and realtors, etc. i def think faxing is a bad idea just for the simple fact of using someone elses sheet of paper, lol. just my opinion. i'm also really interested in what kind of finder fees/discounts everyone is offering for referalls??

MY email marketing involves a two pronged approach. I send monthly email to my bird-dogs, Realtors, and apt. managers ( people I market).

I send another monthly email to past customers asking for referrals.

I have not gone the "spamming" route yet. Pretty small so far ( 200 per month) but ahppy w/ results.

Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it. Seems like that would be a decent, friendly incentive for the average realtor/rental property manager/handy man to keep you in mind.

I have found that email blasts and email specific neither work. I did 50k homes and got 0 calls. I figured I would try and expected that it would be bad but not that bad. I only email my exsiting clients when reminding them if they opted to have a maintenance program.
