Are you going to a Convention this month?

October is a great month for the Pressure Washing Industry and starting next week there will be one event a week all month. In fact there will be so many taking place it would be very hard to get to them all or sometimes to even choose between them.

For some the choice is easy, if you sell equipment as well as do pressure washing work you might be going to CETA the 18th-20 out in Reno, NV. If you live in the North Central area of the country and have been a member of the PWNA for a long time then you will probably attend theirs near Chicago next week the 8th-10th. But there is a new one this year that many contractors might want to take a look at and that is the UAMCC (United Association of Mobile Contract Cleaners). This is their very first convention that will be held in Orlando the 22nd-25th later in the month. It will be packed with speakers and programs geared to better your business. Even if you have not planed to go to any of these it is not too late, especially for the UAMCC. Please try to make it to at least one of these.

I wish I could go to all of them but in fact I unfortunately will not personally be able to make it to any of them. But Soap Warehouse will be participating and supporting them in small ways.

At the UAMCC we have sent 3 $100 product coupons to be given away as prizes at their event. We have contacted the PWNA to offer them the same thing but as of this posting we have not heard back if they will accept this donation. We are also offering all members of these groups a special offer on product for this month and next, wether you are a current customer or not. Either 10% off the product cost of one order with proof of membership or attendance at one of these events or a free 5 gallon container of any one liquid product item, found in our exterior or degreaser tab section of our website, with any other purchase for one order. One only offer per customer.

These events are a great break for you after a very difficult season, for great networking and an opportunity for learning to improve your business. Here is hoping these events help you have a good end to this year.
