House cleaning

Handwritten letters for house cleaning companies

There are still boxes in every room. They’re tired, the old place needed a move-out clean, and the new one needs a deep clean before it feels like home. A friendly note from someone local who could help is exactly what they want to see.

Sample letter

Welcome home!

I’m Maria, I run Fresh Start Cleaning with my sister. We know how tiring a move is.

If you’d like a deep clean so the new place really feels like yours, or someone to come every other week after, we’d love to help.

Call or text (408) 555-0181.

– Maria

Why new movers

Why new movers matter for house cleaning

Someone just moved in down the street. They don’t have “a guy” yet. Every month, each new household in your zip gets a handwritten letter from you, in your own handwriting, in real ink.

They need a clean right now

A move-in deep clean is a real need in the first few weeks, and it’s a natural first job.

First clean, then recurring

A family that likes the first clean often books every week or two. That’s steady work.

Trust is everything

You’re going inside their house. A handwritten note from the owner, with a name, makes that easier.

Exclusive

One cleaning company per zip

Your territory is a zip code. Hold it, and no new household there hears from another cleaning company through LocalLetters. Not like shared leads sold to three to five companies, and not an ad auction you have to win again tomorrow.

Smaller zips go to one company. Bigger ones take a bigger plan, or get split between two or three, but no household ever hears from two companies in the same trade. Other trades can hold the same zip, so a plumber and a roofer aren’t competing for it.

Questions

What house cleaning companies ask

Do renters get the letter too?

The move data includes people who signed a lease as well as buyers. Renters hire cleaners too, often for move-out cleans later.

Can my whole team sign it?

The card is written in one person’s handwriting, usually the owner’s. You can mention your team in the note.

Is a thank-you card really worth sending?

It’s the kind of mail people keep. It’s also a natural place to ask for a review or a referral.

What does it cost?

Plans are $249, $449 or $999 a month for up to 50, 100 or 250 cards. That covers the move data, the cards, envelopes, writing, stamps and mailing. Cancel any time. See pricing.
