How to Choose the Right Email Tool
The best email marketing tool depends on your situation:
Team size matters. Solo cleaners can use simple mobile-friendly tools. Larger companies need more organization.
Service model. Regular clients need retention emails. One-time deep cleaning services need different approaches.
Budget is real. Most cleaning businesses run lean. Calculate cost at your expected list size.
What Actually Works for House Cleaners
After talking to many cleaning business owners about email marketing:
Reminders reduce no-shows. Simple appointment reminders save money in lost time and fill cancellations faster.
Follow-up gets referrals. Asking for feedback and referrals right after a great cleaning works better than waiting.
Seasonal promotions fill gaps. Spring cleaning, holiday prep, and move-out services sell well with timely email campaigns.
