It has been proven over the years that Clean Stores Sell More than their unclean competitors. But HOW do they attain this success? ISSA (International Sanitary Supply Association) explains that having a clean store actually provides a return on investment and implores decision-makers to stop thinking of cleaning as a cost and start thinking of it as a profit center.
CAF Outdoor Cleaning, Like ISSA, promotes cleaning as a necessary investment in better health, a better environment, and a better bottom line. Let take it from a health perspective. Sick employees cost businesses money but cleaning can reduce that risk. Employees get sick about 7.7 days a year and that averages out about 225.8 billion dollars a year.
These unplanned absences cause further workplace problems with an average 54% decrease in productivity which equals to a 39% drop in sales and customer service. But in a clean facility, occupants reduce their chances of getting sick by up to 80% and absenteeism dropped by nearly 46%.
Clean isn’t just healthy it equals green and by green we mean money! Workers are more productive and that produces nearly a *125,000 in savings. Employees are not the only ones who benefit from a clean environment, in fact, customers prefer cleanliness as the most important customer satisfaction metric among quick serve, retail settings.
Customers prefer cleanliness over all other environmental attributes. 60% of shoppers would buy more in a clean store. Let’s not forget restrooms, 94% of people would avoid a business in the future if they encountered dirty restrooms.
The bottom line is that clean facilities generate revenue and that’s the Value of Clean!
