Window Cleaning

If you are starting a window cleaning business you need to decide if you will be using traditional window cleaning methods or a water fed pole system.

Water fed pole systems can be said to be controversial and have their fans and detractors alike. This technology uses a pure water machine to remove any of the chemicals usually added to tap water, and then connects that pure water via a hose to a long brush, allowing windows to be remotely cleaned in a fast and effective way. The water fed pole system is based on the idea that the chemicals usually added to potable tap water leave white marks on windows, requiring extra cleaning to remove. The pure water removes these traces, whilst also being far more effective at removing dirt than tap water is.

The big debate, however, is on whether the system is really the way forward for all window cleaning businesses. To help you decide, let’s weigh up the pros and cons.

Firstly, the use of pure water makes the water fed pole systems much more effective than the traditional method. Because of the deionized water, absolutely no dirt is left on the window which means it stays clean for longer. Even better than that, the pole system cleans the entire window, which is preferable for two reasons: not only does it look much nicer to have a spotless window matched with a sparkling frame, but it also prevents dirt from collecting around the outside of the window.

A new Facebook tool called the Roost Local Scorecard allows small businesses (SMBs) and independent contractors to track their impact on the local level. Small business owners could now measure how well they’re doing with their target market, and at the same time strategize on strengthening their business and relationship with their clients.

The tool is developed by Roost, a social media company that aims to help small businesses to maximize their online presence, and to cultivate a better bond with customers. Facebook and Twitter, the two leading social networks today, are the primary focus of the company, though it intends to expand to other social networks as well.

Understanding the Local Scorecard Tool
To best understand this revolutionary tool, here’s a breakdown of how the scorecard works:
• The Scorecard is generated in mere seconds, giving SMBs an index score between 1 and 100;
• The index score measures SMB performance among local clientele;
• The score is based on location, size and population;
• The score determines improvements in SMB performance over time; and
• The Scorecard suggests actions that could improve the marketing efforts of SMBs in social networks, with the target markets highly prioritized. (more…)
