Word-of-mouth is driving my Cleaning Business

Sandy from Let Us Do It For U - Residential and Small Office Cleaning recently joined WOMOW's Happy Customers Program and says she's thrilled with how well it's working. She admits that she only joined after finding that some of her competitors were doing well on WOMOW but says she hasn't looked back since. In fact, her business has gone from doing 50 bookings a month to over 200 bookings a month! She says, "WOMOW is fantastic - I get so many calls from it and I don't advertise anywhere else."

"We've now got 6 good reviews and people love it because they get a really personal insight into what we're like to deal with. When they call us, they feel like they've done their research and they know us - which means they're ready to make a booking!"

"We also love getting the feedback - it keeps us in touch with customers and helps us understand what's important to them. We want to make sure that our service continues to be spot-on because keeping customers is even more important that getting them in the first place. Plus, we love hearing how we're helping to make our clients' lives easier."

"Our reviews on WOMOW also helped us win a sizeable contract which has made a big difference to our business. My problem is no longer 'how to get new customers', but has changed to 'how to find great staff'!"

Why are we doing this?

Call us crazy, but it's all about celebrating the fact that we're about to reach 100,000 ratings. We're looking for 100 HUGS for 100,000 Ratings amd we're rewarding the members and businesses that participate (we think you all deserve a hug!). So, the first 100 members to send in pics will get a $20 voucher to spend at the business they hug, and for those that also share their pic on Facebook or Twitter, we'll make this a $50 voucher. That way we're giving more business to the businesses that people want to hug. So everyone's a winner!


Want to participate?
If you're a business owner/manager, why not ask a customer for a hug (we dare you!).

And if you're a customer, give your favourite business a massive HUG from us. There's a voucher in it for you and its a good thing to do anyway!
