HELLO WEEK…LET’S DO THIS

Another week has just flown by and the weekends are never long enough.  Saturday we had the opportunity to visit many local and family owned businesses.  Our daughter was competing in the Copper State Classic Ice Skating Competition, so we started with a quick lesson at AZ ICE in Peoria.  We continued on to AZ ICE in Gilbert where she competed.  (She won 1st place in her category)  This was a well run competition and the girls she competed against were very supportive of each other.  Ice skating brings together a nice group of people from all over the state.
Gilbert is a great local community that has a hometown feel.  Our celebratory lunch was at Joe’s Farm Grill, a restaurant that offers a menu of healthy ingredients mostly made from scratch.   Their cheeseburgers, fries, onion rings, and zucchini were given big thumbs up by our family.  Next stop was Fluff It Marshmallows; this is a family owned business that specializes in fantastic marshmallow desserts. From frozen drinks to all kinds of different flavors of marshmallows served in many different ways.  We will definitely be visiting these places again and again!
APPEARANCES MATTER
As new customers to these many different types of businesses we were influenced by the neat and tidy way that these places represented themselves.  Many were decorated in unique and welcoming ways that only enhanced our visit.
Whether your business is located in a strip mall, office complex, or stands alone, a clean, healthy environment should be top priority.  It makes the whole experience that much better and shows that you value your employees and customers.
New customers form their first impressions of your business within 30 seconds of entering your place of business.   Most often they start even before entering the building.  Many customers relate the outside appearance to the quality or service being offered inside.
ROUTES ACROSS TOWN
We drive many different routes throughout our work week and make many stops along the way for work.  If you would like to know if we can include your business as one of them, please call Ron and ask him.  He would be happy to help you with your cleaning needs.
 THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS
We were excited to be able to visit Gilbert and these wonderful businesses. Small businesses give back more to their community.   These thoughts and opinions are our own.  We are not representing them in any way. 
We hope everybody has a productive Monday and rest of the week and if you get the chance to visit any of these places, be sure to stop by.
