It should be the Perfect Spring.
We had a hard winter in Warren, Michigan, just north of Detroit.
We had unexpected amounts of snow and ice, it even tried snowing
again this past weekend. Winter was so bad, that
some Michigan suppliers of ice melters and salt ran out of ice
melters and salt. Sand got tossed out for traction.
And everybody, everywhere, had their
bad weather too. So, time to clean.
Of
coarse, there are always enough walk-off mats at entrance ways to stop
dirt on ordinary days. Forget winter's worse salt, sand, snow
and dirt. Cluster Grime just kept walking through our buildings,
leaving shadows and scratches on our clean bright shiny floors.
So,
now we got some cleaning to do.
Hold
on. Did somebody say recession? Just when Spring is starting.
Needless to say, building maintenance is affected. There's a saying,
during times like these, people clean rather than replace. Let's hope
so.
Also, look forward to the
great recession expectation of wanting more
for less, with a little crabbiness thrown in for good measure.
Peoples, just don't take it out on your professional carpet, buildings and
grounds professionals or the poor janitor. They've been doing more
with less for too many years.
Michigan
Maintenance Supply has been here, done that too. No news flash.
Many of our prices have held in the face of material and energy cost
increases. And in many instances, by way many increased
efficiencies, excellent vendor partnerships, increased customer
demand, and just being too scared to pass through the price increase, MMS has even been able to lower prices. Additionally,
and as importantly, MMS is offering lower finance rates, with extended
terms for larger equipment needs, AND PRODUCTS THAT WORK AND ARE
RELIABLE. Never before did a new Prochem Truck
Mount make better business sense, or order your disposable paper
products, liners or cleaning chemicals from MMS represent
a better value.
Ah
Spring, youth and energy.
Well,
maybe in some other parts of the world. Here we are getting old.
Demand for services have already outpaced the supply of quality
building maintenance professionals who are booked and busy. This
Spring, probably more than any before, reliable labor saving chemistry
and equipment will be needed. Quality products that save you the time
will hopefully shore up the labor shortage. And, in the long term,
quality people are seeing the needs and opportunities that building
maintenance offers, and are coming to the rescue.
No doubt about it, individuals leading building
maintenance companies today are interesting, intelligent and hard working
people. If you have any inkling of entering this business, or simply
need to do some Spring Cleaning, expect success and trust
MMS to be of service to you
It
is a Perfect Spring. No
hugely bad
news here -- just lot's of work, good values. a great group of people.
