Whole-home array of cleaning services creates opportunity for every estimate, and results in higher ticket totals, happier customers and solid revenue

Many new homes, and even commercial spaces, are being built with high-end granite countertops and quality tile flooring. All those surfaces need cleaning, and that makes them good add-ons for Chem-Dry floor cleaning franchise owners who are looking to boost ticket totals. 

“Our granite renewal and tile floor cleaning services are very popular with customers and franchise owners alike,” says Doug Smith, Senior Vice President of Franchise Development. “Consumers like the convenience of having a single vendor for multiple needs in their home or office, and franchise owners like being able to easily generate more business on a single visit.”

Bid for one job, add a second quickly

New and even current customers may not be aware of granite renewal, tile cleaning and other non-flooring services that a Chem-Dry carpet cleaning franchise offers. From area rug and upholstery cleaning, Chem-Dry can take care of the whole home.  

“Chem-Dry floor cleaning franchise owners and their tech teams always point out these additional offerings when they are on a job, and often get asked if they can do that work the same day,” Smith says. “The answer usually is yes, and that’s good news all around.” 

Multiple service lines build repeat visits

And because of that flexibility, coupled with cleaning that covers almost every room in the home, Chem-Dry floor cleaning franchise customers are very loyal — and frequent. 

“Customers may only get carpets done twice a year, in the spring ahead of summer foot traffic and again the fall, ahead of holiday parties and gatherings,” Smith says. “But they have more frequent needs around tile and wood floors, upholstery, granite, even leather. And when they have a trusted partner in Chem-Dry, they don’t hesitate to book services throughout the year.” 

Chem-Dry is the world’s largest carpet and upholstery cleaning franchise with more than 3,000 franchises in over 55 countries, serving 11,000 homes and businesses a day. Chem-Dry has been Entrepreneur magazine’s top-rated carpet cleaning franchise for 32 straight years. The Chem-Dry Hot Carbonating Extraction process delivers a faster-drying, deeper and more environmentally friendly clean that appeals to home and business owners. In addition to carpet and area rugs, Chem-Dry provides cleaning and renewal services for tile and stone, granite countertops, leather and upholstery, air ducts and dryer vents.

Much of Chem-Dry’s growth comes from current franchise owners purchasing adjacent territories in order to expand their operations over time

What’s a better recommendation to buy than a positive review? That’s true for Chem-Dry franchise owners, who grow their businesses through strong, positive word of mouth. And it’s also true for potential Chem-Dry floor cleaning franchise owners, who see existing owners branching out by grabbing nearby territories.

“A lot of our growth comes from current owners taking nearby territories,” says Doug Smith, Senior Vice President of Franchise Development. “After spending time growing their first territory, they see the value in broadening their business, and so expansion is a natural next step. That says a lot about Chem-Dry’s value as a brand, and as a way to build financial independence.”

Controlled growth part of smart expansion strategy

Many Chem-Dry carpet cleaning franchise owners say they purchased additional territories right away, because they knew they wanted to grow and this way, they could make sure that when the time was right they had the space locked down. Others purchase territories from retiring franchise owners, or when it comes on the market. 

“The main thing we hear from multi-territory owners is that they wanted to control their destiny when it came to growth,” Smith says. “Some knew that they would get bigger over time, while others wanted to eventually bring in family members and needed to have a territory on hand for those new franchise owners and partners to grow.”

Multiple territories create opportunities for customization

Another benefit to an additional territory is that its makeup might offer a whole new set of opportunities. For instance, one part of the community may be largely single-family homes, while another may feature high-rise apartments, condominiums, office buildings and senior residence complexes.

“Chem-Dry floor cleaning franchise owners have the depth and breadth of services to compete and win business in any type of community, from urban to rural,” Smith says. “Having multiple territories ensures that they can meet any residential or commercial customer’s need, and that in turn means more business, and more revenue.”

Marketing starts strong and grows quickly thanks to longtime consumer awareness of services and strong reputation in nationwide markets

One of the trickiest areas of starting a small business is building brand awareness. For Chem-Dry floor cleaning franchise owners, that challenge is much less complicated. 

 “We’ve been around for over 40 years, and with thousands of successful franchises in the United States and around the world, Chem-Dry is very much a known commodity,” says Doug Smith, Senior Vice President of Franchise Development. “When you open a Chem-Dry franchise, you spend more time listing all the services you can offer vs. explaining to people who we are and what we do — and that’s a very good thing.”

Online, social platforms fuel local growth

Chem-Dry’s ongoing and comprehensive national marketing also helps with brand recognition for new and long standing franchise owners alike. From magazine advertising to a robust social-media presence, Chem-Dry gets the word out from coast to coast — and then gets generated leads into the hands of franchise owners.

“Our strategy is to build strong awareness, especially around new services such as air-duct cleaning, dryer-vent cleaning, wood floor care and more,” Smith explains. “When consumers see or hear those ads they are intrigued. When they respond for more information they are connected to a franchise owner in their market, and often they go ahead and search for local franchises on their own.”

Brand reputation creates pipeline of customers

What that does, in turn, is create a strong pipeline of opportunity for every Chem-Dry floor carpet cleaning franchise owner to convert into a loyal customer. 

“Getting leads is a very important part of operating a successful Chem-Dry franchise, and converting those to customers is, of course, equally important,” Smith says. “And with all that Chem-Dry has to offer, that’s not hard to do. Someone may get in touch because they saw an ad for one service, find out about all the others and wind up with a whole-house job that’s convenient for them, and great for the franchise owner’s bottom line.” 

Chem-Dry is the world’s largest carpet and upholstery cleaning franchise with more than 3,000 franchises in more than 55 countries, serving 11,000 homes and businesses a day.

Bundling the Chem-Dry carpet cleaning franchise suite of services in with his well-known dry cleaning empire is paying off with explosive growth for this Indian entrepreneur

When Arunabh Sinha launched UClean, India’s first organized chain of laundromats and dry cleaning centers, and of Mint Clean, an on-demand cleaning services company serving residential and commercial customers, he set a goal of covering this vast country with his businesses. When he signed a Master Franchise agreement with Chem-Dry, it was a natural extension of that business plan, and he set forth with the same goal.

It was an ambitious plan, and it’s one that is coming to fruition. Recently UClean became the fastest retail chain to reach the 200-franchise milestone, growing by 130 locations in 2019 alone, and now has sites in 17 states in India, the highest for any retail chain in India. The Chem-Dry footprint, which ties into UClean’s growth, will not be far behind, Sinha says.

Targeting growth through multiple strategies

“We have tens of thousands in our customer base and look forward to further growth,” Sinha said when he signed his master franchise agreement. “Our franchise owners have asked about adding carpet and upholstery cleaning so they could generate more business, and with Chem-Dry we can deliver the global leader’s proven process to them and their customers. When we researched Chem-Dry, we realized it would be the ideal partner for adding those capabilities.”

Chem-Dry’s entry into the Indian market allowed Sinha to market to both potential franchise owners and customers with an ongoing government campaign, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, or Clean India Mission, which places a strong emphasis on keeping your home, street, city, district and county clean.

“The government is supporting initiatives that can drive this overall message,” he said. “This support could be in terms of providing government-trained, skilled employees, as well as loans to aspiring entrepreneurs who want to set up cleaning-related businesses, so we can leverage this to offer loans to passionate entrepreneurs who want to take a plunge in the cleaning industry.”

Synergies between brands will push Chem-Dry growth

UClean offers a home pick-up and drop-off service, as well as a DIY model where customers can visit their nearby UClean laundromat to address their laundry needs. That means Chem-Dry floor cleaning franchise owners who also are part of the UClean family can promote services in their locations, as well as on those home-delivery calls. That synergy, paired with a strong focus on franchise-owner training, will continue to pay off, Sinha says, adding that his goal is to reach 500 franchise locations in the UClean system by the end of 2020, and to bring Chem-Dry franchise locations along in a similarly rapid manner.

“Touching 200 franchisees without burning cash and in a sustainable manner is unheard of in the Indian startup ecosystem. Our franchise-led model has allowed us to remain asset-light and focus our time and energies on driving profitability at the unit (franchise) level,” Sinha says. “We have worked closely with our franchisees to focus on business fundamentals and concentrate on forging partnerships driven by a strong business model that generates profits and allows franchisees to break even in about 15 to 18 months.”

Chem-Dry is the world’s largest carpet and upholstery cleaning franchise with more than 3,000 franchises in over 55 countries, serving 11,000 homes and businesses a day.

It’s that time of year again! The 2020 Franchise 500 List has been released by Entrepreneur magazine and Chem-Dry floor cleaning franchise once again leads in the carpet cleaning franchise category — and celebrates our 32nd consecutive appearance on this roster of amazing brands.

“Entrepreneur is where people start their research when they are looking to open a small business and believe that a franchise is the way to go,” says Doug Smith, Senior Vice President of Franchise Development. “The Franchise 500 is their starting point. It’s a well-researched, timely and informative capsule of the best brands in the market, and what each has to offer in terms of startup costs, market share, growth strategies and more.”

Affordable startup costs ease path to ownership

The list dives into operational costs among its many data points, including startup costs an entrepreneur should know. Chem-Dry is a standout in this area, thanks to its cost-saving model that includes the ability to run a franchise from a home office, to scale up on the franchise owner’s timetable and a very affordable entry point.

“Chem-Dry floor cleaning franchise owners set the terms of their business,” explains Smith. “They identify what equipment package they want to get started with, and work with our training, marketing and other teams to set up the business in a way that’s not overwhelming and lets them start strong. From there, they build out a customer base, bring in new business and grow in a way that makes sense for their goals.”

Available financing for floor cleaning franchise is a strong plus

Chem-Dry further smooths the path to franchise ownership with an array of financing options for startup costs that include in-house financing for qualified applicants, as well as a 10% discount off the initial license fee for veterans. Chem-Dry also is noted for its flat monthly royalty fee, which means that owners aren’t penalized for success.

“Since the very beginning, Chem-Dry has had the right road map to help entrepreneurs start their own business, and to walk alongside them to help with growth strategies that lead to further success,” Smith says. “Our amazing growth both in the United States and around the world, regardless and often in spite of challenging economic conditions, tell a very positive story — one that we are pleased to share once again with Entrepreneur’s readers.”

New offerings joined longtime star performers to allow Chem-Dry floor cleaning franchise more opportunities to maximize sales and build business

Chem-Dry floor cleaning franchise owners know that the best way to land business is being able to meet the customer’s need — and then some. It’s why they have relied on a strong pipeline of new products and services for almost 50 years, coupled with improvements in the existing slate of cleaning offerings they perform every day.

That’s why Chem-Dry remains dedicated to supporting outstanding carpet cleaning, and also to creating new and high-quality offerings that tie into the “whole home” model of cleaning that is working so well for franchise owners and consumers alike. And 2019 was a year that showcased that dedication.

In-home services continue to grow

Over the past year, Chem-Dry carpet cleaning franchise owners have leapt at the chance to roll out the newly launched dryer-vent and air-duct cleaning services as well as the new wood-floor cleaning options. They report that these have been easy to deploy within their operational systems, and that customers are very receptive, leading to higher ticket totals.

“The idea was that each of these services, tied together or not, are a great standalone offering and serve as an easy add-on to a job estimate,” says Doug Smith, Senior Vice President of Franchise Development. “What we are also hearing is that when a technician mentions them while doing a job, they often are added to the ticket then, or a follow-up visit is scheduled. They really do sell themselves.

New flooring options also create opportunity

Those services have been joined by wood-floor cleaning capabilities, giving Chem-Dry franchise owners another way to build business. Many homes have both carpet and wood, and now a customer can have one trusted vendor to tackle both. This capability, alongside the commercially focused VCT floor cleaning system, also is opening doors for franchise owners.

“Chem-Dry franchise owners want to be able to tackle just about any floor out there, and so the R&D team is working nonstop to make that happen,” Smith says. “Chem-Dry remains an industry leader in the floor-cleaning space after over 40 years and is dedicated to continuing that market dominance with services that residential and commercial consumers love, and that builds bookings and revenue for franchise owners.”

Chem-Dry is the world’s largest carpet and upholstery cleaning franchise with more than 3,000 franchises in over 55 countries, serving 11,000 homes and businesses a day.

Continued appearance on list highlights brand’s ongoing value to entrepreneurs thanks to new services and best-in-class training and support

Franchise Gator has unveiled its Top 100 Franchises of 2020, a highly read list of the best franchise brands, and the Chem-Dry franchise opportunity has once again landed a coveted spot on the roster.

“The Franchise Gator list is compiled through a complex process that relies on performance data generated by our franchise owners, numbers that showcase how well Chem-Dry works as a business,” says Doug Smith, Senior Vice President of Franchise Development. “When entrepreneurs see how much they can earn with Chem-Dry, they want to know more. When they also are able to use lists like this to uncover all that we offer, and the support we provide, we have some great conversations.”

List creation involves multiple metrics

This is the 7th annual Top 100 list Franchise Gator has released. It was developed to assist prospective franchisees in their search for a franchise opportunity in which to invest.  The list focuses on company growth, financial stability, experience, and several other criteria, all in an effort to help the average franchise buyer identify minimal risk potential. 

The list also is meant to highlight more affordable options for the average franchise buyer. It is compiled with information from hundreds of Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDDs) and is meant to measure the quality of a franchise system over time. Rankings are mostly based on a formula created from various pieces of the FDD that focus on financial stability, growth, transparency, engagement, continuity and sustainability, according to Franchise Gator.

Related information also plays a part

Simply put, Franchise Gator evaluates brands through the eyes of the would-be franchise owner, someone who visits their site to gather information about things such as Investment range, startup capital requirements and more. 

“We know that beginning the process of evaluating franchises is hard and can be overwhelming,” Smith says. “Franchise Gator provides an invaluable service to those entrepreneurs who want to find the right business. We are happy to once again be on this list of amazing opportunities that assists those men and women to narrow that search quickly.”

Whether you’re in Alabama or Australia, when you’re looking for an affordable small business to own and operate, the fundamentals don’t change. Low entry costs, a valued service, and the opportunity to scale up quickly are just a few of those.

And thanks to positive numbers behind those questions and many more, there is positive media coverage popping up advocating the Chem-Dry floor cleaning franchise opportunity all around the world, including a recent Franchise Business piece that dove into the Australian home-services franchise landscape.

Low investment, high returns

The article explored the different facets of home-related goods and services, so that readers got a comprehensive look at the types of business homeowners most often interact with. When it came to Chem-Dry, the coverage was very flattering:

“With more than 3,500 franchise partners worldwide, established over 35 years of operation, Chem-Dry is one most successful franchise businesses on the market, and what’s more, it’s Australian,” the article reported. “Since launching [in Australia] in 1986, the healthy and green alternative to traditional carpet cleaning companies has grown exponentially, now cleaning more carpet and surfaces than any other business … [and] Chem-Dry franchisees are not required to have any experience in the sector, merely a drive to work hard, strong customer service skills and an Australian driver’s license.”

An evergreen service with ongoing demand

Another reason Chem-Dry franchises keep popping up around the world is that it’s a business with a demand that’s ongoing, not seasonal. And because homeowners value affordability, consistency and quality, once they have used a Chem-Dry franchise team they are likely to have them back for one of the many other services Chem-Dry now offers.

“People want an affordable, environmentally friendly and dependable solution for carpet, floor, rug, countertop, tile and leather cleaning,” says Doug Smith, Senior Vice President of Franchise Development. “We offer all that, plus dryer vents, air ducts and more.

Getting and keeping the best employees is a battle for businesses of any size, and of significant interest to Chem-Dry and other franchise owners

When an employer talks about “human capital,” he or she is referring to their workforce. That’s a puzzle to some small-business owners, but savvy Chem-Dry carpet cleaning franchise owners know how to maximize their human capital by hiring and retaining the best employees.

That’s because they often have learned this valuable business by operating other businesses, and certainly from being employees themselves. They also get a lot of advice from Chem-Dry’s senior management team, including President and CEO Dan Tarantin, who along with other national business leaders gave an interview on the subject to Inc. magazine. 

Smart franchise owners support staff

The article, 6 Things the Smartest Leaders Do to Hire and Keep Great Employees, 

offered tips on attracting and keeping smart, dedicated employees. Tarantin’s suggestion? Continuously check in with staff to see how things are going.

Once you officially hire your highly sought out employee, carve out time quarterly to sit down with them to temperature-check their experience, he recommends. Are they happy and challenged in their roles? Are there things you could be doing that would help them to be more productive or more effective? The articles notes that allowing for honest and regular (not once a year) communication on their performance, accomplishments, and development opportunities will demonstrate that not only does their performance matter to you, but their professional growth and happiness matter as well.

Be willing to listen to concerns, needs

Tarantin explained that a business owner should be able to determine which employees are looking for more opportunity and possess a growth mindset for themselves and also for the business.

“Give those individuals added responsibility, expose them to more areas of the business, empower them with the necessary tools needed to succeed, and have them report back,” he said, because this will build a culture of recognizing, rewarding and supporting people who want to step up and increase their impact on the business.  

“Making sure they understand the value of what they do for the company and how they fit into the big picture is immensely valuable,” he pointed out.

“For Tarantin, so much of retention lies in employees feeling appreciated, valued and respected in the workplace,” the article said, adding his advice on fostering a culture of respect and employee value by creating a work environment that practices the following principles or tasks on a regular basis: 

•       Continuous constructive feedback
•       Recognition for outstanding work or results
•       Demonstrating the impact that the company’s work has on its customers
•       Encouraging creativity and risk-taking
•       Creating a committee to brainstorm and plan company activities and gatherings
