With winter around the corner, many home maintenance businesses are anticipating their annual booking surge. It’s no secret: When it’s cold out, customers opt to stay indoors. And now the chills have begun, homeowners want to ensure their spaces are prepped for more nights in.
As so many customers are looking for interior and exterior cleaners, it pays to make reserving your time easy. An online scheduling system enables self-booking 24/7, saves you time on confirming appointments, and helps your business compete.

The top two reasons why clients stop using a carpet cleaning service is low quality work and missing a booked appointment. (Office Pride) If your customer has taken time out of their day to greet you, they’ll be less than impressed if you’re a no-show. Whether you’re stuck in traffic or accidentally double-booked, that customer is unlikely to reach out again. And, a bad review could impact your future opportunities.

Carpets typically need a deep clean once every 12 to 18 months, but can require more attention depending on footfall. (Angie’s List) Ensure each customer comes back to you the next time they need a spruce up. With Setmore’s marketing integrations, your brand stays fresh in their minds all-year-round.
