We all enjoy the business the spring and summer months can
bring. If moths are starting to fly out of your wallet, have no fear; we’re
here to help change that!
Question: What types of jobs are available during the fall
and winter?
Answer:
- All of your normal “maintenance” carpet cleaning and hard surface cleaning jobs still need to be done, express the importance of these cleanings to your customers and potential customers.
- We have all heard the meteorologist say that it was going to get cold and didn’t and vice versa. Well, some times that can end up causing major problems – like water damage (or worse!) due to frozen pipes.
- In addition, the cold weather can bring freezing rain, snow, and sleet. This can damage roofs and cause other types of “water damage.” (It will eventually melt.)
- People will also bring in this wet slush can mix with dirt and cling to shoes or pet’s paws, causing a mess inside. #carpetcleaning
- If your customers are like most people, they will be scrambling at the last minute before family and friends arrive to get everything perfect. This is when they realize that the carpets look dreadful or the couch smells like dog! It’s up to you to show them that you can help!
- If you do duct cleaning, this is the PERFECT time of year for you! In the south, it is still warm enough that we don’t have to turn on the heat yet. However, up north is a different story. Therefore, it is important to express to existing and potential customers the importance of duct cleaning. (Maybe mention the safety benefits of having them cleaned.)
- Once the family is there, cooking and socializing begins. Cooking can be a dirty business, especially if there are a lot of people to cook for. After the table is set and food is brought out, drinks will spill, food will be dropped, and stains will be made. Let them know that it’s okay to make messes because you’re there.
