My
company does about $350k per year in
area rugs and it is our most
profitable department. The reason is
that the prices are high, but the
labor is low. You see, when you can
bring the rugs to your shop (or
garage), you can clean whenever you
want. You can set up a "production"
line so to speak, therefore really
maximizing your labor dollars.
That's one of the reasons I like
the RugBadger. Before the
RugBadger, we beat the rugs and
vacuumed and turned them over and
over. It took a lot of time. With
the RugBadger, we simply run it over
the back of the rug and it beats the
dust out just as one of those big
dusters. In fact, some say the
RugBadger is more effective than the
big dusters.
Two Powerful Ways to Make Money
Even if You Don't Clean Area Rugs
E ven
if you don’t know how to clean rugs
yet, you can still make it become a
very profitable part of your
business.
-
Outsource the rugs you are not
comfortable with to a reputable
rug cleaner. Clean the ones you
know how to do and outsource the
rest. If you charge $4.00 a foot
and they charge you $2.50, you
just made a buck fifty for the
transaction! That sounds a LOT
better than cleaning carpet!!!
-
Dust
Only. Now this is a new idea. I
haven't heard anyone suggest
this yet, although I'm sure my
friend Steve (Dusty) Roberts -
inventor of the RugBadger has. I
was showing my wife the picture
of the RugBadger and she said
"you should have a special event
for people who don't want their
rugs cleaned, but just want the
dust out". Wow, what a great
idea. I didn't tell her that I
had already thought of it (which
doesn't count anyway if you
don't implement!!). If it's a
nice day, you could even bring
the RugBadger on location. Just
an idea to think about.
How Area Rugs Can
Really
Surprise Your Bank Account
Even if you’re not sure if you ever
want to clean area rugs, taking one
of the IICRC Rug Cleaning Technician
Courses can pay off in ways you
never imagined. Here is what I
experienced after learning how to
identify rugs:
“Over the years I have attended
many rug cleaning courses and
always found them extremely
valuable. I still remember the
first time I went to one of
these classes, I learned how to
identify Persian rugs & I
learned a ton. The day after I
got back from the course, I went
to look at an old dingy carpet.
The client had Oriental rugs
EVERYWHERE! I started commenting
on the rugs. "Boy that's a
wonderful Nain you have there"
and so on. It took about 3
comments before she responded
"Oh, you seem to know a lot
about rugs - can you tell me
what this one is (pointing at
one of her rugs). I told her
what type of rug it was. She
said "no I don't think so, and
pulled out her rug invoices (she
owned 32 valuable rugs!!).
When she
pulled out the invoice for the
rug in question, she goes "Your
EXACTLY RIGHT!" and I walked out
with a $5,000.00 rug cleaning
order. So get as MUCH education
as you possibly can on that
subject.”
By
understanding and identifying rugs,
you will open your business up to a
whole new world of opportunity and
profits. You can outsource the work
or you may find it’s a lot more
profitable do it yourself. Either
way, you’re making more money with a
lot less effort!
Be
sure to attend one of these rug
cleaning courses, they're more
valuable than you realize. There are
quite a few to choose from - but for

and places of the next RCT course

cleaning professionals.
My Friend "Dusty"
I
first met Steve a.k.a "Dusty"
Roberts at the first Phenomenal
Products seminar I ever did. It was
in San Diego and he and his dad came
down from Victoria BC Canada and we
went out to Ruth's Chris (if you
have never been to that one you have
to go! Get a table on the patio
overlooking the San Diego Bay!).
Since then we have been buddies.
I
had heard of these "portable"
dusters for years. Some guy in
Louisiana used to make them. But I
never got one. When Steve came
along, I jumped at the chance to
improve our rug cleaning production.
