...does carpet cleaning pickup.

I read a thread on here that it goes dead during the world cup.
I've been steady the last few weeks,but only have one job booked this week , when i'm usually fully booked for the week ahead!
Will it pickup now England are out and customers want there party stained carpets cleaned.

Lets hope so  fairly quiet here too !

Hi Guys

Yes probably but Murray's Wimbledon form will be a factor as lots of our customers are female and they like Tennis.

Cheers

do people really think that customers don't get the carpets cleaned because of sporting events : : get real perhaps if you said you would be there at 3pm today the might not book it in but live just goes on.

Shame he hates England isn't it :

i'm with mike, june was my best month ever. 4 figures every week. and no big commercials either.

[Steve Weatherley]

I agree with you Colin and think Mikes words were slightly patronising. I have been busy for years but since this world cup started my calls have definately reduced.

[Mike Halliday]

Colin have you lost work due to the world cup?

I have seen world cups, school holidays, rugby games  etc..etc..etc never has it made a blind bit of difference to how much work I have on.

steve i'm not being patronising just speaking from personal experience, why does the world cup stop people calling?

[Mike Halliday]

Colin i prefered your deleted answer 

[Deep Cleaning Solutions]

Perhaps Mike has a higher class of customer than your average England fan.

[Mike Halliday]

actually thast probably hit the nail on the head, not a higher class but older. i do a lot of OAPS.... perhaps they don't watch the football

[Steve Weatherley]

At first I didn't think it could be because of the world cup but it seems that many of us are experiencing lower than usual sales. I haven't said that i think it's for definate that the world cup is to blame but it's quite a coincidence.
Mike, maybe you can suggest why sales are down?

[Carpet Dawg]

I cant see why the world cup would stop people booking a carpet clean?! i mean most of the games where at 3pm and 7.30pm anyways! and now its only evening games i think.

Didn't effect me but scotland where in it   lol

[Mike Halliday]

but Colin  i loved your deleted answer, it showed you had a bit of bottle.... pity you didn't have the guts to leave it : :

[Steve Weatherley]

Just looked at my sales 4 years ago when world cup was in Germany. Hey presto - sales were down on previous month and went up again after tournament

but Colin  i loved your deleted answer, it showed you had a bit of bottle.... pity you didn't have the guts to leave it : :

But you'd have deleted it anyway Mr Gutsy!!!!... This way, I've beat you to it.... So just get over it and go to bed

Could you repost please Colin as i missed it and like many others who will read this thread i'm curious   

[happy mondays]

Yea curious 2, post it again Colin

[Steve Weatherley]

Colin you were right to remove the post if it was offensive. I didn't see it, but this is a forum for cc's to help eachother. Unfortunately some on here are very self righteous and their comments not helpful but serve more in an attempt to pitch themselves above the rest

[Paul Simpson]

From my own perspective got to say it hasn't affected business at all.
In fact takings wise last week was my best this year so far and the week before wasn't far off it.

But it swings in roundabouts......a few months ago I went almost 2 weeks with 2-3 calls throughout and converted none into jobs, yet depressingly reading on here in a thread at the time that some were overloaded with work.

What am I doing different now to then.......not alot.

I suspect that it is the dire state of the economy and the repeated warnings by government of tough times to come that is responsible for any lack of demand. Some people will be clinging on to their disposable income a little more tenaciously. Who can blame them
