The start of a new year brings new opportunities for commercial cleaning franchises to expand their services and gain new clients. Planning ahead is key to making the most of the profitable seasonal work that is on offer throughout the year, from spring cleaning to pre-Christmas cleans, so let’s take a look at what seasonal opportunities you can take advantage of to boost your business this year.
Spring
Just as homeowners across the country are decluttering their living spaces as part of their annual spring cleaning routine, spring is also the perfect time for businesses to have their premises thoroughly cleaned ahead of the new business year.
Here are some key opportunities to consider:
- Office Spring Cleaning: Help your clients get ready for a successful new year with a deep clean of their offices, communal spaces, and washroom facilities.
- Factory Cleaning: Restore your clients’ manufacturing premises to their pre-Christmas condition after the busy Christmas production rush by providing specialised cleaning for their equipment and facilities.
- Regular Maintenance Packages: Lots of businesses will be looking to contract a cleaning provider for ongoing services during the first few months of the year, so make sure they choose your company by investing in additional marketing during these key months.
Summer
The summer months bring great seasonal opportunities as many businesses use the quieter holiday period to finally schedule their overdue deep cleaning.
Here are some great opportunities available to you:
- Educational Premises Cleaning: Schools, colleges and universities all close for summer, giving commercial cleaning franchises like yours the perfect opportunity to perform essential cleaning and maintenance work ahead of the new academic year.
- Student Accommodation: Most students return home for the summer, leaving their halls empty and in need of a thorough clean before new students arrive in September.
- Office Cleaning: Offices are usually quieter during the summer holidays as staff take time off to care for their children that have finished school, offering a great opportunity to perform a large-scale deep clean and general maintenance without disrupting the workplace.
Autumn
With summer behind us and Christmas not far off, autumn is full of opportunities to prepare your clients’ premises for the busy months ahead and offer additional services, including:
- Builders & Sparkle Cleans: Many construction companies will be keen to have their builds finished before winter hits, so make sure you are on-hand to provide the professional builders cleans that will be required once each project is completed.
- Grounds Maintenance: Snow and ice can cause massive disruption for businesses in the run up to winter, which is why it’s important to keep your clients premises safe by gritting their car parks and footpaths and clearing fallen leaves.
- Window Cleaning: For companies looking to keep their employees motivated during the darker winter months, having clean windows allows in more natural light and helps make the most of the limited hours of sunshine.
Winter
Finally, from pre-Christmas work parties to end-of-year production rushes, the end of the year is full of clutter and mess – which means you get to end your year on a high note with additional services, such as:
- Factory Cleaning: Help your clients to keep a clean, tidy factory by tackling their cleaning requirements and keeping their equipment in good order throughout the busy production season.
- Event Cleanup: Return your clients premises to their usual condition after a Christmas event and keep their offices ready for the working day – even if their employees are not!
- Retail Cleaning: Secure yourself a renewed contract for the new year and keep your clients’ customers coming back for more by keeping their shop clean and welcoming during the Christmas shopping rush.
