According to the North American Power Sweeping Association, sweeping your parking area on a regular basis may bring more revenue to your business. Well maintained parking areas and side walks are the key to attracting customers. Studies have shown that cleanliness ranks as one of the top factors in determining where people shop. Many people consider exterior cleanliness to be as important as interior cleanliness.

In today's extremely competitive market, property managers cannot afford the tarnished image caused by cutting back on exterior grounds maintenance. Regular sweeping is a very important component contributing to overall outside appearance.

Why should you keep your parking area clean?

• The outside parking areas are where business owners hope their potential customers will derive an initially favorable 'first impression.'
• Having a clean parking lot projects an image of success, and people prefer to patronize the successful. 
• A parking lot cluttered with debris can take away from even the most beautiful landscaping. People may even hesitate to venture in, if they see the potential for a flat tire in your parking area. 
• Storm water runoff is fast becoming a factor in our environment. Sweeping your parking area on a regular basis can help to minimize pollutants in your storm water stream. 
• It is virtually impossible to develop or retain the desired competitive edge if a business' exterior, including the parking area, is unkempt. 
• When your parking area is clean to begin with, shoppers are less likely to throw trash out of their cars when they come to shop. 
• Sand, dirt, and other trash are abrasive. They will shorten the life of pavement, as well as the service time of any seal coating, striping, etc. 
• The professionalism of the local business community at large is projected by each of the businesses within it. 
• When dirt is allowed to stay on pavement, it quickly starts deteriorating the paving material. Replacement costs for pavement far exceed the routine expense of sweeping.

 FINDING A SWEEPING CONTRACTOR

Does the sweeping contractor have a good reputation? Ask the contractor for a comparable reference list. Just because they do a great job at the local corner store does not mean they have the equipment or employees to handle a large shopping center.

Do they carry adequate insurance? In today's society, proper insurance coverage is critical. The sweeping company should present you with a copy of their insurance certificate so you can review it and be sure it meets your requirements. You could be held responsible for a company that is under-insured, so don't take chances!
