I have said it before in a similar thread that Craigslist works awesome for us, but that maybe because we specialize in House Cleaning. Craigslist is the only advertising we have done in the past 2 years, besides a new Facebook ad we are currently experimenting with, which doesnt seem worth the $5 a day so far. We are doing that to try to get more likes.
Honestly Craigslist works so well for us we run the post and within a day we get a few calls. Jen actually just told me to take the ad down because we are getting too many calls. We are currently booked solid and can't handle any more work for the 2 of us, having to work Saturdays. We are in the pickle right now of trying to find a reliable employee so we won't have to turn anymore work away.
Besides Craigslist we get a lot of referral work and have a reputation in town of being expert cleaners
