There are many ways to market. Since you live in your target area. I would also recommend doing some offline advertising such as posters at the mail kiosk, hand out business cards, make a coupon with all your business details and something like 10% off first cleaning and put that in everyone’s mailbox or door.
For an online craiglist ad you need to make it catchy. If the first few words don’t catch the readers attention then they are going to skip the rest.
What do you offer that other cleaning services don’t offer? What makes you special? Why should someone hire you over the other cleaning services.
You need to create a brand image and a competitive advantage over your competition ie: offering superior service or lower prices. I recommend superior service. Maybe something as simple as leaving a herseys kiss on the pillow when you make their beds. Reminds me of a classy hotel that leaves a chocolate on my pillow.
