For those of you who detail in return for cash compensation, how do you advertise?

Yellow pages? Flyers? TV ads? Word of Mouth?

My detailing is limited to a few customers a month and they`re mostly specialized cars from people I meet a car shows.

I just pass out business cards to people I meet... that`s my advertising.

What`s your advertising method?

I used to be in the yellow pages, but always by word of mouth. I`ll also on the web.

Most of mine is word of mouth.

Word of mouth and online networking...

word of mouth is great but the bulk of my business is from the yellow pages ad. I tried other forms of advertising including mailing coupons etc and wasted a lot of money.

My customers decide they need a detail, open the phone book and start calling all the listings. I make sure my ad is the largest I can afford and make sure to always answer the phone. if I have to call someone back many times they booked with another detailer by then.
