Good evening. I have a commercial cleaning company , I’ve had it open for half a decade now . The beginning of last year I was racking up $10k a month working 5-10 hours a week and paying employees . Clients I got from Yelp and a referral .

I had open heart surgery the same year 2 weeks into February and had to get used to a new body (22) . So I wasn’t looking for my clientele. I got too comfortable and let the business ride . I lost those clients a couple months ago and getting back into the rhythm but at a larger scale from the knowledge I gained .

I’m thinking about making stickers or flyers with my companies details and having them in food spots downtown to reach potential clients of the larger buildings in the area. Do you think it’s professional to find a cleaning company in a food spot on a sticker or flyer ?

So far im just cold emailing , no response . Will do door knocking once I gain my new business cards .

For my cold emailing I include a deep cleaning for areas that have not been reached , carpet shampoo after the winter and window cleaning as a complimentary . For the ceaning services we do an affordable and tailored to liking as well .

I appreciate the help !

    Since you do commercial try to talk to real estate agents or companies that have access to the type of commercial properties you offer this services and make partnerships with them. Try to contact the self storage facility owners who own multiple storage and commercial facilities because they might also need your services. Try also the property managers that look after commercial real estate or properties and make partnerships with them.

    Also try to build partnerships and collaborations with other peers in your industry, for example you might have a friend who also has a cleaning business but the focus is not commercial and they might refer clients to each other.

    Also start posting content on X or LinkedIn, write about your journey, what you do, post photos from the sites you’re cleaning, write about the process and how to best clean commercial properties. If you want we can discuss more about this and how can you get in the game again.
