What a Small Linen Company Can Teach You About Social Media

By: Joel Libava King, Franchise Selection Spec's Inc

May 24, 2011

Some businesses look really boring. Can you imagine the excitement you’d experience every day if you were the owner of a gutter-cleaning franchise?

Your daily duties would probably include:

1. Neighborhood canvassing
2. Hiring, firing and training of hourly employees
3. Customer appointment scheduling
4. Equipment repair
5. Payroll

Let’s face it; service businesses are in existence to provide services, whether it’s gutter cleaning, pressure washing, lawn care, or house cleaning. They just don’t ooze with excitement. It’s too bad; these businesses are very scalable, and are pretty resistant to technology-related takeovers. For example, there probably won’t be robots available to do the things that we need done around our houses in our lifetimes.

If you’ve been thinking about becoming your own boss, have you skipped over the service franchise sector because it’s just not that sexy? What’s the matter; can’t you get excited about climbing a ladder, (or watching your employees climb a ladder) to clean some gutters? Are you “too good” to do something like that? What if you were able to make the type of income that you wanted to? Would you be able to move past the “image” that the business portrays if you could achieve your goals?

There’s a service franchise out of Canada that has tackled its industry’s image problem in a truly innovative way: the company has decided to focus on the way its services are delivered, by changing its employees' uniforms.

Now, lots of businesses periodically change the look of their employees’ uniforms, but only to freshen things up a bit. The business I’m talking about changed their employees’ uniforms for one reason, and one reason only: to dominate their industry.

You see, the male employees of this service business—the ones climbing ladders—wear kilts.

Imagine driving down the street on your way to work seeing two rather burly-looking men in kilts carrying 30-foot ladders across someone’s finely manicured lawn. Would you stop in your tracks just to see what was going on? Would the other drivers on the same street do the same thing?

The name of this Canadian franchisor is Men in Kilts. Their mission:

“We are committed to delivering a professional, unique service experience while bringing smiles to the faces of all those we encounter...one kilt at a time.”

Nicholas Brand, Men in Kilts founder, wanted to develop a business that really got people’s attention. I think he’s succeeded, judging by the reactions on one of their YouTube videos.

Will something as simple as a change in uniform be enough to allow this franchisor to dominate its sector of franchising? Do they have top-notch systems, first-class training, and great office technology to support their brand’s growth?

Men in Kilts expanded to the U.S. last month, with the first location opening in Seattle. Now I’m wondering if Men in Kilts has legs.

Enter the New Era of Streamlining...'Your Uniform Spec'

July 20, 2010 Philadelphia, PA

What else is there for a Public Safety Director to do?  Order Uniforms. 

The high demands of First Responders responding to 9-1-1 calls,  ER transportation runs or Senior Citizen Taxi Cabs, has lead to the creation of 'UniformSpec'. 

For those outside the field, first responders consist of the following professional trades: police, fire, ems, security, swat, nurse...the goes on.  Those serving in these fields are the real hero's of society.  Day in and day out, they are out earning a living working at their career. 

"Uniformed Professionals", referred to by Dan McDonald of Philadelphia, "have been outfitted for hundreds of years.  I used to only see the Made in the USA tag in every pant, shirt, piece of footwear I stocked.  Society is cost conscious, which I believe is important, but not at the cost of society.  UniformSpec allows small businesspeople to research their interests while interacting and purchasing their needs."

As time moves forward, we will be faced with many challenges. 

One challenge you can cross of your list is uniformspec.com.  Order from anywhere.  Set your agencies prefernces and control settings.  Un-Authorized purchases are easily confirmed or $25.00 Gift Certificate to future purchase.  No more Paperwork. 

                           Go Green / Dear Philly Certified

It was created and developed by uniform, service, technologically advanced and retail experts.  Participation is recommended.  Visit www.uniformspec.com for a preview.

Check out a live demonstration in Philadelphia...coming soon!
