Some Exciting News for 2008!

As I mention in this blog post, it's the perfect time of year to make plans for 2008.

What I personally do when I'm planning is back away from my computer, grab a notepad, and sit in my recliner thinking about the different things that'll help window cleaners in their businesses.

Here's what's coming up:

1. Window Cleaning Directory - I will be launching a window cleaning directory soon. The design is actually all done. I just need my programmer to connect the dots and program it so it all functions properly. This directory will allow you to list your window cleaning business online for FREE!

This isn't going to be a boring 'ole traditional directory that you might have seen online that simply lists your business name. No.

I'm applying extensive search engine optimization techniques to this directory and putting it all together in such a way where if let's say a prospective customer is looking online for a "window cleaner in <your city here>", you'll pull up in the search engines so you can be found and contacted. This directory will provide you additional jobs and customers looking online for professional window cleaners in your area. Not everyone uses the phone book to look for window cleaners.

2. Social Network Site - I've been asked in the past about putting up a forum for all of us window cleaners to congregate, toss ideas back and forth, etc. etc. Well…I've done better than that. I recently purchased software that'll allow me to put a social network site online similar to the myspace and facebook sites. I'm sure you've heard of these two major social network sites, right?

This is in the early stages so I appreciate your patience on it. The software is already purchased as mentioned, but I need to have it all installed and then redesigned slightly. When it's all done, we'll have social networking capabilities, a forum, and much more. It will be the only social network site geared specifically to us window cleaners. So stay tuned.

3. The two previous points will not interfere with the regular growth and new features added to The Customer Factor. We have some great ideas about to be introduced. If you're not a member yet, I encourage you to jump on board. Because you'll be in for a wild ride in 2008!

4. My web designer, Barb Wilson, has created a bunch of website templates for window cleaners. If you don't have a website yet, this is a great low cost way to get yourself a website and an online presence. All you do is purchase any one of the templates, have barb fill in some text, upload it to your hosting, and bingo! 

Plus ongoing news and information will be released in the coming months to assist you in the growth of your window cleaning business.

I'll be keeping you posted on everything discussed above, so I'll talk with you soon.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Feliz Navidad, Happy Holidays, and a big 'ole Happy New Year to you also. May
2008 be a happy and healthy year for you and your family.

Best Wishes,

Steve
