Idea to use on website.

I was thinking of a way to increase the amount of actual calls from the amount of hits on my website. Im getting alot of local hits per day but not many calls or emails.

So I was thinking I could advertise on the site for "house of the week" people during the course of a week could enter name phone and email and after a week passes I would draw a winner for a free house wash, then with all the other names and contacts I receive I can follow up with phone calls and emails and try to close on them.

Would this work?

Sounds like a great idea.......I think I would post picture of you and the winner with before and after photos of the winning house after you clean it.
I think this would work well for you.

That would be good too, Have a separate section that reads "Past house of the week winners" and have a picture of me and the owners, and the owners Quote on our services.

I think I'm going to give this a whirl.

I really like it....I think it would be a great idea....Posting the past winners will let people know you have a ligit contest. Plus the winners comments and photos will be a plus on credibility also.
Good luck with it!
 
I like the idea but would do monthly so you get more names and contact info, there might not be that many actual homeowners looking at your site, sometimes it is the competitors or other companies looking.

My idea by monthly would give more actual homeowners a chance and give you a chance for more names to collect but I would not call and try to close them, I would give them a "Runner Up 20% or 25% coupon" for services of their choosing. This way everyone that visits your site will be a winner and everyone gets something.

Now you have to advertise the contest either on the website or in the paper or on your vehicle so people that do not know about you or your company will have a reason to visit your website so you get more hits and names to collect and actual homeowners.

Just my opinion.
 
Thanks for the input, I did finally get the banners and magnets for my truck and trailer, and they do have the website on it, and my craigslist adds I can include the House of the week or month on it as well to further increase awareness.

But you all are right about the house of the week being to frequent, Monthly or bi monthly sounds a bit more practical.

John
 
But dont be suprised if now all your doing is a free weekly house wash.

Ditto!! been there done that...we did this exact type thing also at a trade show, lots of takers and no givers..

But hey every market is different, i guess it cant hurt to try it.;)

I agree here also....make sure you are getting the amount of traffic to make it worth your wild to do a free job.........may even have to make it an every 2 month promo (or 3 month)......
Dont want it to be so often,,,and not much traffic that your customers just hang in there for a few weeks until there name is drawn.

Thats whats good about this site.......many eyes and many opinions.
I enjoy reading the opinions of all our compadres on here.
Thanks guys for expressing your opinions. Helps everyone look beyond the box!!!
 
Here is another idea, have you seen the realtor books at the grocery stores where they have pictures of houses listed for sale?

A lot of those houses have dirty roofs, need house washes, need driveway cleanings, etc....

Maybe contact the realtor or home owner and let them know about your monthly or bi-monthly drawings for free services but they have to go to the website and enter through the contact page.

That will increase the traffic to the site and maybe get you some referrals from the realtors.
