Clean Office With the Republican National Convention just around the corner and tens of thousands of delegates, media and interested parties arriving soon, it is critically important that all local business owners are prepared for what will be Tampa’s largest convention. It is important to make a great first impression on these potential customers and having a great product or service often times isn’t enough. A consumer typically make a decision whether or not they want to do business with someone in the first 30 seconds to two minutes. Therefor it is critically important that your facility reflects the image and professionalism you desire.

8 Simple and effective tips to help potential customers feel invited…

Be sure office space is clutter free and organized. Don’t let the “organized mess” be an excuse for a cluttered desk.
Keep your staff looking good and by that I mean professional. People make a decision on a company in the first 30 seconds. Don’t let a sloppy staff member reflect poorly on your business.
An enthusiastic smile from the first point of contact, usually a receptionist can make a huge difference in the overall experience of your guest.
Keep reception area stocked and neat throughout the day. If you provide coffee or refreshments be sure they are stocked appropriately. Straighten reading material and check trash to be sure it doesn’t overflow.
Try to keep décor neutral with material that is easy to keep clean and germ free. For example, leather versus fabric or vinyl wood versus carpet. A clean shiny floor can leave a lasting impression. You can always soften the look with throw pillows or area rugs if necessary.
Check bathrooms hourly for paper products and cleanliness. Survey results almost always name uncleanly bathrooms in the top five reasons of why businesses lose customers.
Remove any negative signage or homemade promotional material. Remember that your office is an extension of your image and therefore should be professional.
Be sure your office space is cleaned regularly by professionals.

Your business is only as strong as your customer service and the relationships you have developed with the people your serve. Treat everyone that walks in your door like they own the place and they will leave feeling important and satisfied. These are the same people that will be telling their colleagues about how great it is to do business with you and how clean and inviting your facility is.

In this blog post, we'll discuss the importance of school restrooms, the challenges they face, and some ways to improve them. As mentioned, school restrooms are an essential part of a student's day. Not only do they serve a practical purpose, but they also help create a sense of community. By providing a safe space for students to take care of their needs, restrooms are an important part of fostering a sense of security. Unfortunately, school restrooms are often neglected and suffer from a lack of resources and maintenance. This can lead to dirty and even dangerous restrooms that can cause health problems for students. Often times students communicate the need to wait until they get home to use the restroom. This can be because the restrooms are dirty, lack of toilet tissue or paper towel, or fixtures are broken or inoperable. Fortunately, there are some simple ways to improve school restrooms and create a safe and comfortable environment for students. One way to improve the restroom experience is to be sure the restrooms are regularly cleaned and maintained. This includes ensuring that all facilities are in working order and that any issues are addressed in a timely manner. In addition, the restrooms should be stocked with adequate supplies, such as soap and toilet paper. Ultimately, school restrooms are an important part of the educational experience and should be given the attention they deserve. By implementing these simple steps, schools can create a safe and comfortable environment for their students.
