Why My Storefront Should Be Clean

Your storefront is the first impression for your clients.  As with many situations first impressions are very important and can affect future relationships.  An unkempt storefront is negative advertising for your business. Power washing your storefront is a simple, cost effective way of creating a clean, inviting atmosphere for your clients. Why is it important to power wash your storefront:

Client Experience

Clients entering a clean, well-cared for storefronts are more likely to feel comfortable and secure in your store.  A clean space will allow clients to focus on the reason for their visit to your business and not be distracted with dirt and debris.

Safety

Clients often associate cleanliness and safety.  If a storefront is clean and well cared for it is much more likely to be considered safe.  Clients are not likely to want to spend money in an environment where they feel unsafe.  By ignoring small maintenance issues like power washing and window cleaning you are more likely to attract further vandalism which will also contribute to a feeling of being unsafe.

Advertising

Your storefront is an important part of your advertising campaign.  In particular retail storefronts are designed to intrigue and draw in clients.  Just as important as your window display or your signage, is a clean and inviting entrance way.  You are much more likely to draw in new, walk in clients with a clean inviting store fronts.

Regular Maintenance is more Cost Effective than once off jobs

Having a power washing or building Maintenance Company regularly clean your storefront is much more cost effective than letting dirt and grime build up.  Regular maintenance allows for your storefront to be consistently clean while spending less.

Role with Goodbye Graffiti™: General Manager Vancouver & Sea to Sky

What did you do before Goodbye Graffiti™: Prior to coming on board with Goodbye Graffiti I was a Human Resources Manager for one of the largest General Motors Dealerships in Ontario.

What are your strengths as a Goodbye Graffiti™ team member: I try and create a framework for people in different functional disciplines to work together effectively towards a common goal. My unwavering commitment to Customer Service and realistically high standards are what makes me a strong leader at Goodbye Graffiti. `

The best part of your role with Goodbye Graffiti™:  I love working as part of a team with many moving parts that must flow together seamlessly in order to be successful. Motivating people to reach a common goal is exhilarating for me and something I take a lot of pride in. Our team at the Vancouver office is super tight-knit and it is a pleasure working with each and everyone in such a vibrant community.  As a fully trained and certified lift vehicle operator, I also love driving some of the big articulating boom lifts we utilize to safely remove large pieces of graffiti from precarious places.

The Most challenging part of your role with Goodbye Graffiti™: Scheduling around the weather!

What is the most interesting piece of graffiti you have ever seen:  Muralists are incredibly inspiring with their larger than life creations. I am particularly fond of cultural or political pieces that make you stop and think about an idea, perhaps step outside of your world view and see a new perspective. Richard Tetrault is an amazing Visual Artist, Muralist here in Vancouver and his amazing cultural work can be seen all over the city.  iHeart and Banksy also come to mind.
