Spring is here, the snow is gone, and in its place: a mess. Winter isn’t always kind to commercial properties. Dirt, trash, and grime build up in parking lots, on windows, doors, and in your landscaping. That’s why it’s so important to invest in a thorough outdoor spring cleaning. It can do wonders for the look of your business. Don’t believe us? Here are five reasons your customers want you to do a spring landscaping clean-up.
- It improves the look of your business. Curb appeal is important for businesses. If your storefront is dirty, old, or falling apart, that sends a message to your customers. Make time to beautify your storefront and landscaping. It will show your customers that you care about your business and want it to look good.
- It protects your customer’s vehicles. Parking lot clean-up and maintenance are a must after a hard winter. Dirt, salt, and rocks that accumulate in parking lots over the cold months can harm a vehicle and leave it looking dirty. They can also be a safety hazard when walking. Once the snow melts, make sure you get your parking lot quickly cleaned. Your customers will appreciate it.
- It protects your property. If you own your storefront, you know that proper maintenance keeps your building and land in good shape. Spring cleanup should include power raking, aerating, and other landscaping jobs to protect your property.
- It increases your property value. Smart business owners take care of their assets and invest that money back into their company. Taking care of your building is one way to maintain your property value. After winter, invest extra money into minor outdoor repairs, like repainting, fixing anything broken, or updating older parts of the building. Your customers will appreciate the updated look, and it helps to beautify your community!
- It’s easier to window shop. One of everyone’s least favorite spring jobs is cleaning windows. If you rely on foot traffic or window displays, regular window cleaning is essential. Your customers can’t see into the store if the windows are dirty!
