Create a Territory Master List containing suburbs, shopping centres, office areas, complexes, estate agencies, schools, churches, salons, guesthouses and other potential customers.

Marketing · Days 10–30
Marketing Engine — Street & Community Activation
Marketing is not "put adverts on Facebook and wait." Krugersdorp runs a six-channel customer acquisition system. Channel 1 is street and community activation in targeted residential and commercial areas — branded agents with flyers and QR codes.
The objective isn't "hand out 1,000 flyers". It is "capture qualified prospects".
Each agent follows
- Approach→
- Introduce Sebenza→
- Identify need→
- Capture details→
- Offer quote→
- WhatsApp follow-up
Deliverable20 meaningful conversations per agent/day · 3 agents × 20 × 5 days = 300 weekly contacts.
Marketing
Facebook & Instagram Advertising
Do not advertise every service in one advert. Run separate campaigns:
- Need Reliable Home Cleaning in Krugersdorp?
- Give Your Garden a New Look
- Need Something Fixed at Home?
- Moving In or Moving Out?
- Office & Business Cleaning
Every advert leads to
- Ad→
- WhatsApp→
- Qualification→
- Quote→
- Booking
Start with small controlled budgets. Increase spend on ads that produce profitable bookings — not likes or clicks.

Marketing
Google / Search Presence
People searching "cleaners near me", "cleaning services Krugersdorp", "garden services Krugersdorp" or "handyman Krugersdorp" already have buying intent.
Build the local search / business presence and systematically request genuine reviews after completed jobs.
Never purchase or manufacture reviews.

After-Service Process
Shortly after completion, ask for a service rating and whether everything was done satisfactorily. Then make the next relevant offer:
| Customer | Next offer |
|---|---|
| Cleaning customer | Recurring cleaning |
| Cleaning customer | Gardening |
| Landlord | Property maintenance |
| Business | Monthly cleaning |
This is where one customer starts generating multiple transactions.

Recurring Revenue
Move from "How many jobs did we get?" to "How much of next month's revenue is already booked?"
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| 1. Once-off jobs | Cleaning, painting, garden clean-ups, installations |
| 2. Recurring residential | Weekly / fortnightly cleaning, gardening |
| 3. Contract revenue | Offices, businesses, property managers, complexes |
A mature territory increasingly depends on categories 2 and 3.
