Hi,
Just started a new removals company and am looking for ideas to aggresively market the new venture.
I have lots of ideas on the business plan but would like some input from other people to see if there’s anything I have missed.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Try to form a patnership with estate agents who could recomend you to new buyers or sellers. Advertise on their web sites

Moving one’s home is one of the most traumatic times and the best way to market your services is to deliver a reliable, efficient and friendly one. Nowadays, there are so many cowboys in this area that if you can show that you can do it well, word-of-mouth will soon be your best marketing tool. You could spend a fortune on marketing, but if you have unhappy clients, you could be sunk very quickly. I would print some attractive business cards and give them out liberally to satisfied clients who can pass them on to friends. They are your best salesmen.

flyers also look through the property sales papers and estate agents and target those with their house on the market.
Put adverts in your local CAB, pub, church mag. Sponsor a sports team. The list is endless but it depends on the area you live which method is the best. A friend of mine owns a removal company and gets all his work by word of mouth.

How long is a piece of string? That’s how general your question is. It depends on the area, competition and resources. How much money have you got to spend on a marketing budget, you can do it as fancy as you want or work extremely hard to get yourself around.
Generally, local advertising, alliances with other companies, yellow pages and the very important referral.
If you want something more specific, contact me, I’m a management consultant.
Cheers.
