John Rosatti, Diversifying Your Carpet Cleaning Business<br><br><br><br>If you own a carpet cleaning business you know that it is a business
with ups and downs. It is definitely a seasonable business. It is on
average 6 months of boom, 3 months of average and 3 months of slow
times. It does not have to be this way however. Read this article for
some tips on diversifying your business. <p>
The first way that you can diversify your business for more stability
is to add commercial business. Commercial carpet cleaning unlike
residential carpet cleaning is not seasonal. They have to get their
carpets and upholstery cleaned year round and they often set up regular
cleanings. This makes it business that you an depend on. Once you get a
commercial customer they are more than likely yours for years if you
treat them right. Another way to diversify is to add on other services
that residential home owners need. I am sure you already do upholstery
cleaning but there is much more to clean in the average home. You can
add wood floor cleaning, tile and grout cleaning, drapery cleaning, air
duct cleaning, window cleaning, maid service, make ready cleaning and
the list goes on and on. Usually all you need to do to add these
services is purchase a little equipment and take a few training
classes. Talk to your local carpet cleaning supplier and see what
courses they have coming up. If they do not have one, consider
traveling to a nearby city that does. The expense of the trip is well
worth it and you can of course write it off. Lastly you might consider
doing water or smoke damage restoration. Many cleaners do this but keep
in mind that there are a few pitfalls to entering this area of work.
There is a large amount of equipment you need to buy so you need to be
committed. You also need to have good insurance and you will need to
take many classes to learn how to dry structures and clean up fire
damage. Being on call twenty four hours a day can also drive some
people nuts so be aware that the money is good but the work can be
hard. </p><p>
As you can see there are many ways for you to diversify your business.
You do not have to put up with the slow times if your business performs
a variety of different services. Just be sure to research your decision
before you jump into anything. Good luck. </p><p>
