I've been reading information in the news about the "new norm" of the post-pandemic economy. Well, from the supply side of our industry I can attest to the truthfulness of what the articles are saying. It's on! We're starting to experience the impact on all levels of the supply chain. And these conditions will affect your business as some items that you need may not be available or they will cost more to acquire. Here's a brief blog article that discusses what's developing...

The Post-Pandemic Economy Roller Coaster

The new economy is not going to look the same as the world we knew before Covid-19. What we all need to do to survive on this roller coaster ride.

Restaurants here are back in full swing, packed and 30-minutes for carry out.

A little Mexican restaurant in our small town is jam packed on weekends. The food is great but they need more help.

The service is slow because they are overwhelmed. The last two times we just picked it up.

Look at the positives,it will weed out inferior cleaners.
It gives you more free time to visit all sorts of places.
One month nursing homes.
Be there go-to for sales.
Guys restaurants are slow,build value cleaning packages.
So those that re prosper will use you on larger scales.
Funeral Homes have to be spotless ,value package them.
Golf Courses houses of worship.
Certain places need high image appearances.
Those are your markets.
As for Homes expand to out service the enemy.
Add protector,stain guarantees,spotters,referral promotions...
Time to look over your sales image,are you a gd slob.
Do you want to succeed ???
Man it's up to you.
Remove the cancer,restore my truck you think .
I would even think there's a problem.
Perspective man,get it done...

Vallartas at 2991E. Broadway Ron. Awesome food. It's set up like a cantina but the food is what makes it all worth while. Stay away from the greenish yellow pepper sauce. I still blow smoke rings out my ass.

Cimex machines are out of stock till late July. They're now being manufactured in England again, and we're waiting for the container from the UK to arrive.

CRB machines form Austria are backlogged too. The 15" BrushEncap TM4 machines and 17" BrushMaster CRB Pro machines are out of stock till August. And 10" CRB machines are out of stock without an ETA.

Dirt Dragon scrubbers are back-ordered until some of their components can arrive from oversees.

Various other items are also in short supply. And no one knows when things will level back out.

Looks like pre-ordering and patience are gonna be needed.

Bought one...when you said anyone serious about cleaning wood floors has to have one.

A year later you said you don't need one, a 175 would actully do better. šŸ„“

It's a toy, not designed for heavy duty professional use. Too many brittle plastic pieces.

Thanks a lot fooker! šŸ–•

I got rid of mine while it was still in good shape, so I can't say how durable it is. It just worked fine while I had it. I just grew to hate servicing real hardwood floors. That's why I stopped using it

early on I stopped in a supply shop needed some carpet shears. They had none counter person said it was because factories had shut down of course he may have just been blowing smoke
Teepee there's workarounds computer chips well I'm not nerdy and don't have much techy stuff so I can get buy new cars the same

stopped in my local shop to get a coffee refill just a couple of days ago and they are out of all the coffee condiments . That hurts!
blame it on the pandemic they said

I got to thinking and nowadays everything is packaged in plastic and is throw away and I would imagine that has something to do with it
