Email News Week

A monthly newsletter seems appropriate for the business. There is not much to update customers about since our website is not fully developed yet. We can always try to get more business by adding promotions to the newsletters. Every month we can talk to our customers about how to keep their homes clean and which products are working best at the moment. We can also add interior design tips and simple ways to remodel rooms with little cost. I would like to reach out community by adding events that we can all benefit from like community gardens, community walks, runs etc.

Categories

Categories I can use...

I believe we can stay by organized by differentiating from the two types of businesses. We have the drywall and painting side and then we have the cleaning side. A category for 'drywall', 'painting', and 'customer tips'. Customers can do things at home and we can help them by posting up a few tips. We can also place posts for categories of 'residential' and another for 'commercial' jobs either for the drywall or the cleaning business. I would like to have a section for a gallery showing 'before' and 'after' pictures of our jobs!

Getting Personal

As for SoCal Services we can get as personal as publishing the 'dirty laundry' since the team is 90% family. However we choose to keep it more business than personal. We have all heard of stories involving family business gone wrong because of that fact. The Gucci family started their leather clothing line in the 15th century and unfortunately the fame has led them to lawsuits any disagreements(http://www.cnbc.com/id/40716101/page/5). The feuds if any can get pretty heated in the business and no one wants to take that heat to the dinner table after clocking out. That is why it is important to separate the family matters from business deals.

The positive side to doing business with family is that there is always an open communication line and most of us are about two minutes away from each others reach, a great convenience! It makes sence to add a little bit of each others personalities in the blog. The claening side of the business is all related except the painting services. That one is only managed by my brother Victor although our cousin-in-law has now joined the team. Writing this blog has just given me the idea to ask each crazy family member to add a little bit of their unique personality to the business blog!
