We probably all have our favourite products and suppliers and can relate to the excellent, good, or otherwise service received.
But !
Simply because someone is particularly good - or aggressive - at marketing, does'nt make their product range better than, others.
If you have been in any business for a while, you will recognise " the new kid on the block ' when they appear, as they do with regularity, usually accompanied by the maximum publicity they are able to generate and in business terms, there is nothing wrong in that, in fact, it should be admired.
But !
This is an open forum, where supposedly likeminded people discuss their problems, successes, ideas, etc, hopefully to the advantage of all.
The forum is provided by a business within the cleaning industry, who could be forgiven for exploiting his position..................but he does not do so and is respected for this.
Some people will always ' follow the latest trend ' and either gain from doing so, or maybe not, while others will keep an open mind and try new products when they appear, or just enquire about other peoples experience. Others ,still, will find a supplier and stick with then through thick and thin, possibly limiting themselves, by doing so.
IT'S THEIR CHOICE.
There will always be people who will shout loudly about how wonderful they are and how well they are doing, usually, because they feel a need to justify their decisions to invest time and money.
Others will get on with providing customers with professional services and value for money, ensuring repeat business and growth through quality and reputation.
Last bit of waffling for 2005 from me.
Have a good life and thanks to Mike Boxall for providing this talking shop.
