Suck It Up

No one likes to shop in a dirty store. When it comes to contributing to profitability, cleanliness literally is next to godliness. Among the things you should be doing at least once a day is vacuuming all your carpets. When you add it all up, that’s more vacuuming in a month that the typical household vacuum does in a year. Normal residential vacuums aren’t up to this.

In the long run, you may save the most money by investing in a commercial-grade vacuum. It will cost more going in (around $500); however, it can pay for itself in what you save replacing a residential-quality vacuum once a year and what you pay in non-reusable vacuum bags.

Another good investment is a heavy-duty Dust Buster or similar hand-held vacuum. Dive store are full of nooks, crannies and crevices that love to collect dirt and dust. A cordless, hand-held vacuum allows you to tackle this problem the minute you see it. Few commercial equivalents exist for this type of product; fortunately, the consumer models are inexpensive enough that you can afford to replace them as often as needed.

So far, we’ve discussed three very diverse areas of investment — yet they are have something in common:

• They are tools designed to help you make money or save money.
• As with most tools, you save you the most money when you buy products that are built to last.

Some of these tools may cost more going in but have the potential to save you the greatest amount of money in the long run. It’s principle worth following in several areas of your business.
