Thankful for the opportunity to own a business

Posted on by CleanCraft

Happy Thanksgiving!  As we enter the Holiday Season, Thanksgiving is the perfect time to pause and be thankful for the many blessings you have.   Many of the readers of this blog own a carpet cleaning business.  This is one big item to be thankful for.  How many people out there can say that they own a business?  It is not a big percentage, but yet you may be one of them!

With 2016 around the corner, a business owner also looks at what could be in store for the future.  Could it be further business growth by diversifying into a service or two that you currently do not offer your customers?  As you can see from our past blog posts, Air Duct Cleaning is one such business diversification we stress.  In fact, we are thankful that last year, one of our carpet cleaning business units we own had around 40% of its revenue in Air Duct Cleaning!  Wow, who would have ever thought that 40% of a carpet cleaning business’ revenue could be in air duct cleaning?

If you have ever thought of adding this great service, check out our SpinVax 1000XT Air Duct Cleaning System.   You will be surprised how easy & affordable it is to add this service in 2016.

Plus, check out the tax benefits of getting this equipment before the year end.  See our past blog post back in 2012 (still holds true today!).

How a Website Can Help Your Carpet Cleaning Business

Posted on by CleanCraft

Wouldn’t it be great if you could clone yourself into thousands of copies.  You could have an army of salespeople reaching out to potential customers selling them your services.  You could hide in every nook and cranny in the towns you service waiting for people to mention carpet cleaning.  Once they mention it, you pop out and hand them a business card and discuss the services you offer.  After all, who knows your business better than you do?

Well, this is kind of what a website does for your business.  Potential customers are searching the web right now looking for a carpet cleaning business in your area.  If you are not on the web, these potential customers will NEVER find you.  You don’t even have a chance!  However, if you have a website, these potential customers can now find you.  It is like you popping out of the corner and saying… Hey, over here!  Plus, your website passes along the information you want to express to your customers.  Your website lists the services you offer, has pretty pictures, and explains information about your company.  It is actually better than a thousand clones of yourself, because let’s face it… you can be a little annoying sometimes.  🙂    A website is never annoying, and is available 24/7.

If you don’t have a website for your carpet cleaning business, you are missing the boat.  It is probably the best advertising you will EVER do for your business.  Don’t stand by and let your competitors dominate the web any longer.

CleanCraft makes it easy to have a website.  You will be surprised at how easy & low cost a website is for your carpet cleaning business.  Plus, you don’t need to know anything about websites or how to make one.  We do it all for you.  Check it out now at our Website Building page.  Don’t let another potential customer slip through the cracks, because they can’t find you on the web!

Can Cooler Weather Help a Carpet Cleaner?

Posted on by CleanCraft

It is hard to believe, but fall is here.  The nights seem to be getting cooler, and in no time, the days will be getting cooler as well.  Cooler weather also leads to shutting off of the air conditioner and the turning on of the furnace.   This is a time when many homeowners start to notice the air quality in their homes.

As a professional carpet cleaner, what can you do to capitalize on this time?  The answer is offer air duct cleaning…   Did you know the majority of air duct cleaning companies in the USA are primarily carpet cleaning companies?   Why is this?  It is because homeowners trust the cleaning quality that their carpet cleaning company gives.  The homeowner can see a BIG change in the cleanliness of their carpets, so they automatically assume the same quality will be done in their air ducts.  Is your business taking advantage of the trust relationship you have built with your customers?  Unfortunately, the answer to many carpet cleaning companies is no.  Many businesses have yet to start offering this needed service.  The result is loss of potential revenue and sometimes the “Stealing” of current customers.  The fact remains that if a customer wants air duct cleaning done and your business does not offer it, the customer will look elsewhere.  What happens when the customer finds a company that offers air duct cleaning & carpet cleaning?   Sure, some customers may stick with you for the carpets.  However, there are some customers that will switch to the new company, because they like the “other” services the new company brought to the table.

Don’t give your competition the chance to entice your customer base with value added services.  Take a moment to entertain the idea of offering Air Duct Cleaning.  Check out our SpinVax 1000XT Air Duct & Dryer Vent Cleaning System.  CleanCraft makes it easy & affordable to add air duct cleaning to your service offering.  We not only give you top of the line equipment to make it easy, but we also help you with the marketing!  Items like online videos & our mobile app will help you sell the service to your customers.  Plus, the SpinVax has proven itself for over 15 years!

We would be happy to discuss the SpinVax 1000XT and general Air Duct Cleaning questions you may have.  Please give us a call 800-525-3261.  Let us help you expand your business!

Thank you, may I have another?

Posted on by CleanCraft

One of the biggest mistakes professional carpet cleaners make is not keeping in contact with their current customers.   Most marketing dollars are spent getting new customers.  This is because it cost a lot to get a new customer.  However, it should be cheap to keep an existing customer.  Simply stay connected with them!   Unfortunately, most companies skip this part.  They rely on customers’ memories to call back when it is time for more cleaning.   Don’t be this company!

CleanCraft has made it simple to stay connected with your past customers.  Simply follow our rule: Thank you, may I have another?   What does this mean?  Simple…    You always want to thank your customers for their work and remind them when it is time for more cleaning services.  The best way to do this is using our “Thank You Cards” and “Reminder Cards.”

Sending out “Thank you” postcards after you have cleaned a customer’s home gives that extra special attention the customer is looking for.  Sure, your cleaning technician said “Thank you.”  However, a postcard in the mail is that something extra that will stick in the customer’s mind.   Take a look at our “Thank You Card” designed to express your deepest gratitude and subliminally showing the customer what else you have to offer.  Plus, at only pennies per card and only $0.35 to mail the postcard, you can’t beat the price!

A gentle reminder is just as important as a “Thank you.”  Our “Reminder Postcards” are a great way to let the customer know it has been a while since the last cleaning, and it is that time again.  Our Reminder Postcard program is simple to follow and will guarantee that you will not forget a single customer.  These cards are only pennies per card and qualify for the discounted $0.35 postcard stamp.  This is a simple and cheap way to get your customers back for more!

Why let customers slip through the crack?  Our “Thank You Postcards” and “Reminder Postcards” work together to keep in contact with your existing customers.  Following these two programs together will increase repeat work tremendously.  Plus, with the amazingly priced professional postcards and the lower “postcard stamp” prices, your costs for staying connected with your past customers are tiny!

Check out our “Thank you Postcards” and “Reminder Postcards” today!

Make Money Now, Pay Later

Posted on by CleanCraft

Wouldn’t it be great if you could make all your money back on your investment before you even had to pay for it!  Well, CleanCraft has worked out a great financing deal where you can do just this.

It is called “Same as Cash – No Monthly Payments for 6 Months.”  Basically, you have 6 months (180 days) to pay off your equipment.   A simple $95.00 Doc Fee and a small down payment (down payment is not extra, it goes towards the cost of the equipment) gets you the equipment you need to expand your business.  Just pay the remaining balance plus a $1.00 buy-out within 180 days and no other financing costs exist!  It only costs $96.00 ($95.00 Doc fee + $1.00 Buy-out) to allow you to pay for your equipment 180 days later!  Wow!  Talk about a great deal.

What could you do with this?  There are tons of options:

Is your carpet cleaning equipment old and slowing you down?  Buy a new Eclipse High Powered Portable Extractor to speed up and improve your cleaning process.   The productivity savings alone should pay for your new Eclipse before the 6 month time frame!

Ever thought of offering Air Duct and Dryer Vent Cleaning services?  If you haven’t, you should!  These add-on services have the potential to add tens of thousands of dollars of revenue to your business every year.  Heck, how many jobs does it take to make back the money spent on the SpinVax 1000XT Air Duct Cleaning System…. 10, 15 jobs?  Most businesses should be able to do this in the first few months, let alone 6 months.  So, you should be able to easily pay off your equipment before the 180 day mark!    Check out our SpinVax 1000XT Air Duct Cleaning System.

Obviously, not everyone will qualify for this great financing plan.  Your company must be in business for at least 2 years, and be approved by our finance company partner.  We also have other financing plans for startups and companies less than 2 years old.

As you can see, CleanCraft has just made it easier for your business to grow.  Perhaps, now is the time you have been waiting for!  This financing program is for a limited time and will not stick around forever!

You can get more details by clicking the “Same as Cash – No Monthly Payments for 6mo” image next to equipment like the Eclipse and SpinVax 1000XT on our website.

Carpet Cleaning Business Cards
