How do i fill the slow days in my carpet and tile cleaning schedule?
Short answerFill slow days in a carpet and tile cleaning schedule by contacting customers on a yearly cleaning cycle, selling tile and grout as a second visit type, and courting small commercial accounts that book on weekdays. Residential demand tends to bunch around holidays and spring, so weekday gaps need a different customer.
The explanation
Your best list is last year's customers. Anyone cleaned eleven months ago is close to due. Message them with two open dates and the price they paid last time, and many will book without shopping around.
Tile and grout work usually happens at a different rhythm from carpet, so you can pitch it to carpet customers in quiet weeks. Offer a bundle: the living room carpet plus the kitchen floor in one visit.
Commercial accounts, such as small offices, salons and churches, often want weekday or evening work, which fills the days when homeowners are at their jobs. Keep a short list of businesses near your usual routes and offer a standing monthly or quarterly slot. Keep a note of each customer's room count and last price so a reminder can quote a figure without a call.
In carpet cleaning
Carpet and tile cleaning is usually one visit, priced by area, with a strong yearly repeat pattern. Weekday gaps suit commercial accounts that cannot be cleaned during business hours. All carpet cleaning scheduling questions.
