It was great to see the crowds of people who visited Mark Violand and David Behr to see their demonstrations of carpet repairs and restretching. Based on the number of those individuals who bought the needed tools and/or signed up for our Carpet Repair and Reinstallation Class in August, I think I can safely say that part of our program was a “hit”.
Never depend on a carpet installer to be a carpet repair person for your customer. A good carpet installer is simply too busy putting in new carpet to do what he’d likely consider “nuisance work”.
You,as a professional cleaner, need to offer this very valuable (and profitable) service to your customers. It isn’t difficult, and you will be an invaluable resource to your customer if you’ll just invest the time and (little bit of) money needed to be trained and equipped to offer tis service.
These pictures were taken during Winterfest on January 26, 2008. These start during exhibit set-up from 7:00 in the morning at the Boston Spectrum facility. Watch as the seats fill by 8:30AM! In following posts, I will be releasing more photos from Winterfest 2008.

We wrapped up Winterfest 2008 last Saturday, and nearly a week later we are still getting calls thanking us for our efforts, but more importantly, asking important questions about the material that was presented and the products that were exhibited and demonstrated.
If you didn’t have a chance to attend, you missed out on hearing presentations about today’s economic trends, “green cleaning” protocols, cleaning for allergy sufferers, new advances in antimicrobial and promicrobial treatments, and advanced techniques for monitoring restoration jobs.
In one room, there were vendors introducing truck mounts, drying equipment, and specialty cleaning and restoration products that have never been seen anywhere previously.
One attendee was so excited about what he was seeing that he text messaged a friendly competitor and insisted that he come over right away.
That late arrival, on the insistence of his competitor/friend, was a grand prize winner!!!!!!
If you missed out on Winterfest 2008, and would like to know more about the subjects covered, I am adding pictures and information daily as I can.
I plan to show you the exhibits & exhibitors, as well as the speakers & share some notes on their presentations. I also intend to show the winners of more than $12,000. worth of prizes!
Some interesting pictures that we snapped at Winterfest on January 26, 2008. These pictures are of the exhibits, exhibitors and our customers & guests. The exhibits were jammed all day. In upcoming posts, I will be putting more photos up from Winterfest 2008.
