I can't believe you all miss the marketing behind the well dressed & groomed carpet cleaner sporting a white shirt and tie...............let me give you all a hint...........GO OUT AND BUY A WHITE SHIRT AND LOOK LIKE A PRO AND YOU TOO CAN MAKE MONEY.............THE SERVICE INDUSTRY IS NOT ALL ABOUT CLEANING..............IT'S ABOUT "SERVICE"

| Wearing a tie has been suggested to me before, but there's just no way. The fact that I look neat, clean, and speak English well sets me apart just fine in San Diego. Most of the cleaners I see in my area either look like punk kids or pot-bellied guys with bad backs (who at least look like they know what they're doing). The best dressed dudes are from Zero-Rez, but their prices are some of the highest. If I could afford their marketing, maybe mine would be that high also. |

| I wear a polo shirt and khaki shorts or pants depending on the weather. There is also a lot of punk looking kids cleaning carpet in my market also. |

Michael,
In this new world of cheap printing and small runs you could go to a specialized shirt store in a plaza today and find a guy who would stitch-sew or print a tie onto your shirts.
I k now a person in Canada who printed a seatbelt onto a shirt so the cops would assume he was all buckled-in.
While you are at it have printed in large letters on the back of your shirt.

Am I nuts, or is it that all of you think I meant to buy a white shirt & tie to actually do the cleaning ( although Ted's idea is a clever one ) The white shirt & tie look is simply for advertising purposes , the same ads run for auto mechanics, roofers, lawn care, plumbers, etc etc etc........the customer doesn't expect a man in a tux to show up........FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT.....YOUR FLYER REPRESENTS YOU AS A FIRST IMPRESSION

In cooler weather, I always put a v-neck sweater on over my polo shirt for work. I might take it off at some point during the job, but I show up looking all neat and tidy. |

you can always tie the sleeves together around your neck and let the sweater just hang on your back off your shoulders :)

Just don't work around the vacuum when you have a tie on.

You guys in Canada have/need way more options, since you actually have seasons. We have an eleven month season here, where it's usually 70's-80's. I guess my environment is perfect for tying that sweater around my shoulders . . . Really, I think about how to dress on this job a lot. The appearance of our van and our own person is often the first impression people have of us. |

Nightrider, I really thought you were a master of marketing,
How could I show my customers that my prices are higher, unless I show them their coupons.
If everyone keeps lowering their prices, soon we will have to pay to clean customers carpets.

Thermedix............................NEVER SHOW OTHER COUPONS OR DEGRADE YOUR COMPETITION..........THEY ARE THE ONES KEEPING YOU IN BUSINESS
Overpower your competitors with wit ......not insults...........your customer knows who and what he/she wants ( It's up to you to show and tell them )
People are sheep.......they will follow the one who shows them the way
