Padman there is still cleaning out there... you can push more for commercial... snow and slush push them to clean more often... I get a lot of calls... because I promote the fast drying times of the winter months... and the improvement of air quality ------------- www.mr-steamer.com |

In the GTA it does Mr. Steamer cause you guys don't get much snow. Up in the snowbelt where Doug lives it is a different story at times. If you can't get out of your driveway cause it drifted in, or if the plows are pulled off the road because it is not safe even for them, it doubles the troubles at times. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

snow will do that everywhere Kenny... I don't go out on snow days... but I'm talking about the cold in general... it's perfect weather to clean in... no humidity ------------- www.mr-steamer.com |

Faster drying for sure from the lower humidity. Again depends where you are. At minus 10 you can talk a customer in the GTA into getting cleaning done much easier than you can a customer in Calgary at minus 20 to minus 30 temps which are common here in the winter. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

I wasn't including wind chill in that. I grew up in the GTA and was there until I was 25 years old. I know that the GTA see's minus 30's very rarely and some(most) winters not at all. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

John 4 Million I believe. Nightrider, I have lived here all my life and I realize this is a multi cultural city especially over the last 10 years. This to me has happened gradually because I live within. I consider my city to be special from the other cities I have visited in the States. Thanks for your insight from an outsider. You also live in the outskirts of Montreal, how's your crime and immigration doing. Seeing your into stats check that out for me.

We had bad snow couple a months ago, well bad for us anyway. Business
dropped right down and thought it was the dreaded credit crunch. Didn't
really want to risk going out in the van either as it was treacherous. Anway couple a weeks later things were booming again.

I see things slowing down more and more so I am going back to a low pricing scheme just to build clientele. Knowing most folks here in the US start off with Thanksgiving as a cleaning time (living and dining areas) and then pushing on toward Xmas and SuperBowl Sunday as the final cleaning days until after April 15 I need to do something to snag the biznes. ------------- Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity? |

Marketing carpet cleaning services in the winter can be a bit tricky, but it's definitely doable. One thing you can play up is the whole "fresh start for the new year" angle. Maybe offer special packages for post-holiday cleanups or promote the idea of starting the year with a clean and cozy home. Emphasize the benefits of getting rid of winter grime and allergens. Also, don't forget to tap into the holiday spirit – offer some winter discounts or bundled services. Another idea is to highlight the quicker drying times in the colder months. People might be hesitant about cleaning in winter, thinking it'll take forever for carpets to dry, so use that as a selling point. And of course, hit up your social media game. Share some satisfying before-and-after pics and maybe throw in some winter-themed promotions. Best Regards,
