Advertising ideas for my refurbished appliance store? (Be an adult please! Looking for serious help.)?
Hey, I know a lot of used appliance guys are about as shady as used car salesmen, so save that ilk for someone else. I try very hard to do the right and fair thing, and to be better than the last guy. I've even fixed things major home improvement stores have missed.
Looking for some ideas on how to do more advertising. Here's what I'm doing so far:
-Facebook. I have my own business page, with some great reviews from customers, pics of my cleaning before/after (More about that later), and there's posts with my inventory. I share the inventory posts out to different sales groups. (I would give out my page link, but this is the internet. Someone always has to act like a child with no manners, and even if it's a joke, a negative review can't be removed.) I have also done paid ads with before/after cleaning pics, etc in my service area.
-Craiglist- I post inventory ads. An ad per piece/set. There's also another pseudo-Craiglist site in our area I use.
I've been trying to look into doing a print ad in sales paper. Those ones they give away for free at the gas station, like the thrifty nickel, etc.
What I do- clean as much as possible without spending all day on one piece. The tubs are taken out, pressure wash them, clean all the inside parts (agitators, water rings, etc.). I run full test loads though the washers/dryers, hot clean the stoves, and run fridges for at least a week before posting them for sale. There are 30 day warranties on everything I sell.
