Yesterday I was standing in the bank and the owner of Greenleaf Body Works sees me and says “I was JUST talking about you and your company! Two store fronts down from my studio they are opening a new yoga studio and the owners are looking to contract a cleaning company”. I stopped into the new studio, and after looking around, mentioned that Cleaning GREEN is the way to go for Yoga Studios!
Yoga is good for the body, mind and soul. Being environmentally correct should be part of their brand and venue, and Royal Services can help them with that! Feel free to contact me about our green cleaning ideas and how to promote this to YOUR patrons.
We welcome referrals at Royal Services to your yoga studio or fitness center. Royal Services would be pleased to partner with these styles of businesses, and at the same time, offering ideas via conventional cleaning or green products. Royal Services makes GREAT first impressions.
For those followers that asked about the restaurant in Grand Rapids that was a LEEDS certified building mentioned in the July 16th post, its name is The Green Well Gastro Pub. If you find yourself in Grand Rapids, take the time and visit for a drink, a meal, and an experience.

A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned!
Here’s an age old trick of my trade that’s still being used. The management or owners of a building love to place pennies in various spots throughout a building or space that is contracted to be cleaned. That way I swear that they think “OH, they will be caught this time for cutting corners”! If the penny is still in the same spot after cleaning is done, they can ask, was the building REALLY cleaned thoroughly?
At Royal Services we ARE thorough and we are not going to walk away from money! My staff is instructed, if they see a penny, pick it up, it goes into their pocket and make sure that the space is cleaned as always, because their Royal Services Supervisor is right behind them checking their work.
NO corners left unturned or ignored. Detail is our middle name, and you’re going to be pleased with the finished results, and of course it goes without saying, you’re going to be making that GREAT first impression!
Now back to the story. So, on one scheduled clean there were pennies all over the place, I was there that time, collecting the pennies and making sure that the cleaners were doing their job properly. I collected 40 pennies from that one client. Taking the 40 pennies back to the manager I put them on his desk and said “Next time save the pennies, leave quarters. They go further because of inflation!” The manager laughed, I smirked and there has not been a penny left after that!

GOOOO GREEN for the environment and for your profitability
I’ve been an advocate of the "more friendly environment" for quite some time, but last month is the first time I’ve seen a restaurant that has been able to be totally GREEN.
I was in Grand Rapids, Michigan enjoying a nice leisurely lunch with my good friend. The food definitely was top notch, kind of trendy and organic, and the setting trendy as well. I excused myself to use the washroom, and was so surprised to find waterless urinals. Those struck a cord and lead me to look around a bit, to find everything that I was looking at was re-purposed. I finally called over a wait staff and asked, is this building LEEDS certified? She was shocked with the question but quickly answered yes they were. They have even taken the food waste to a new level and repurpose it, as not to waste anything. Cleaning with Green products and at the same time, protecting our environment is something that more and more of us are doing. Royal Services can answer your Green questions, and gives our clients the choice of conventional products or Green products at a minimal up charge.
How will this help in promoting your business? Ride the GREEN tidal wave with Royal Services and increase your marketability to this new and growing interest. Call today to see how you can Green up your own business!

Shine! Sparkle and don't forget the Pizzazz!
At a recent job, we were scrubbing, sealing and waxing a new bakery. The client wanted the retail space to shine, sparkle and have pizzazz! As we were working on the floors in the retail area, a local man walks by, pokes his head in the door and says “WOW, this looks nothing like it did before, the owner is really putting her best foot forward”.
Putting our best foot forward is what we all should be doing with our businesses. Does your business have the shine; sparkle and pizzazz that it needs to bring clients back time after time after time?
The most rewarding part of the afternoon, was when the client returned to her business to lock up. She looks at the floor, and sees her vision taking place right before her eyes. With the quality product that she is putting out, and the GREAT first impression that Royal Services helped her make, she knows she is off on the right foot. The best of luck with your newest addition to Marty’s Cookies, and many years of success Stacy.
