Spring has sprung

[Ken Snow]

We had 655 rugs brought to us last week (mon-Sun). This is the first 600+ plus week of the year and sure beats the mid 200's to 400 of the winter months. Our business doesn't really make money until we have close to 400 going through our Rug Spa in a week.

This week through 3:00pm EST today we've had 315 rugs come in so it looks like we'll surpass 700 for the week. We're also starting to get more of our fleet on the road so less loss in our on=location cleaning area. Marchis a pivitol month for us, if volume picks up eonough we just break even or make a little. If it's still winterlike here we lose.

Hope everyone's spring is getting off to a good start!

Re: Spring has spring

We fired up late February, hard out of the gate, and have been a little softer the past couple weeks. I'm still very pleased with March's numbers.

Re: Spring has spring

Best March I have had in years. I attribute that to the major winter storms and people just ready to get into Spring !
Then again hopefully this month was indicative of what this year will be like.

Re: Spring has spring

Exactly the same here Chris. Feb was really good, but March is just so so.

But, I am in shorts today, so things are looking up.

[Ken Snow]

not to bad out here some good jobs and some vortex days makes the month look pretty good

 

[dealtimeman]

a few large restorations and larger commercial jobs made march good but not as good as jan and feb was. looking to april to really kick it up as i will start marketing to my area for the first time.

We're up 32% in March in actual income

We are up 63% in actual income this year already.

I posted 20% up in another thread but that was net.

Lots of advertising dollars being spent.
