Whether you’re looking for a window cleaner for your shop or office, you’ll need to choose between local window cleaners or national. While there are advantages to using a national company, they’ll need to travel great distances. That means a delay in time before work can get under way.
Unlike local window cleaners, a national company would need to charge additional costs for travel and fuel. Plus, employing a local company means you’re investing in the local community. Undoubtedly, they’re already providing services to other businesses in your area. This will give you reassurance you’ll getting a quality service at a competitive price.
First though, a word about West Coast Window Washing. We combine all the benefits of a local window cleaner with the administrative advantages of dealing with a national service.
So what are the benefits of using a local window cleaning company?
Reduced Travel Time and Costs
Less travel time means lower costs. Window Cleaners that live locally do not need to travel far to get to work. And because they’re already providing a service to other local businesses, they’ll have little traveling time between jobs. This means a more competitively priced service.
Conversely, a national company who operates outside the area would bill travel time into your quote. So don’t expect to see it as an itemized entry on your invoice. Therefore, you will end up paying more for a similar service.
Investing in the Local Economy
The overall wealth of your local economy will have an impact on your business. This applies as much to a hairdresser and dental surgery as it does to a large department store. By employing a local window cleaning company you’re playing a part in boosting the local economy. And no doubt some of what you pay to have your windows cleaned will help boost your trade.
Albeit a small boost, but if everyone does it, the impact is amplified considerably. It is good PR too. By demonstrating that you are involved in the local community you will enhance your reputation, especially if you let it be known on social media.
Easier to Check Out Their Reputation
When you use a national window cleaning company you can probably read online reviews about them. In fact, it would be foolish not to at least try to find out what you can about them before engaging in a contract. But online reputations can be suspect, and are far from being totally reliable.
With local window cleaners, it is easy to confirm how good and reliable they are. They will already be working in the area and are probably working for some of your existing contacts. There is no recommendation like word of mouth. So, all you need to do is ask one or two of their current clients. We all like telling people when we receive excellent service. And we are not reluctant to let it be known when we don’t. So, ask around; you will soon discover if you can rely on them.
Faster Problem Solving
Even with the best levels of service and with the best will in the world, sometimes a problem will occur. Something might have been missed. Or something happened after your windows were cleaned that needs urgent attention. An emergency clean might be needed. Whatever the problem, it is far easier for a local window cleaner to rectify it than it would be for a national company.
With a national company there are likely to be scheduling problems and traveling overhead. So an emergency callout could be expensive. With a local window cleaning company the solution is literally just round the corner. It is far easier for them to provide emergency service and less expensive for you.
