 Doing Charity Roof Cleaning Work
Doing charity work is not only good for you, but it can also be good for business. http://www.brandonsingles.com/brandonoutreach.html

It is a good way to keep your name in front of the community, and establish you and your company as a community leader.

Though it wasn't our intention, we happened to get a lot of paying work out of this volunteer effort, and got "in" with some big customers that we never dreamed of getting.

Money can't buy the good feeling you get helping out the less fortunate with your equipment and skills.
Chris

That is a great idea Chris.

I have done a couple jobs for elderly people that I was told that could not afford to pay for cleaning so I did the job and told them that to not worry about it, it is free.

I have an idea to do a church in the area that needs it badly. I thought of maybe doing this roof and them allowing me to put a large sign out front near the road and call the local paper and maybe they would do a story on it.

Church is on a well traveled road and it has dark shingles but you can really see the algae from the road. Good thing the north side faces the road dead on.

You cant do charity work JUST for the recognition. The best ones are when you are driving along from a job and see a little old shurch, or an old person in theier driveway and you just stop in and do it. No business cards are exchanged, no flyers passed out, no signs.

Those make you feel good.

Agreed. My thinking is that I would be paying them for advertising with the free cleaning. This is a large church and they can afford to pay. I am just starting and need to get my name out there quickly before all my money runs out. Just getting laid off and all.

Other free cleaning would be just as you described, help a small church or the elderly. Helping an individual would give you the greatest sense of satisfaction.

Just entertaining ideas and I would gladly listen to any thrown my way. Until I can get some before and after pictures of my own I need to brainstorm on how to do this at as low a cost as possible so I can add them to my web site and other media.

Any ideas, I'm open to suggestions.

Dont get me wrong there is nothing wrong with service for advertising. People do it all the time.

But at that point its not charity. It is however a GREAT way to get "free" advertising and good exposure.

Bill,

That's just terrific!

Do yourself and a needy person, business or charitable organization a much needed service by adding curb appeal and a sense of pride to their bldg.s roof and you make a great opportunity for both you and the recipient to grow from.

It's a WIN-WIN

Here is an IDEA!

We here at Roof Clean USA make a "can't afford it list or file" and update it regularly and keep it handy for the next time we have a LARGE job and we mix up more Apple cider/sauce roof cleaning agent than we can use.

We put all the REAL, KIND, genuinely well meaning homeowners, and others we do demo's or free estimates for that just can't, swing the cost of a roof cleaning at that very moment, into this LIST.

When we have a substantial amount of LEFT OVER cleaning agent and we don't have anything coming up for later that day or the next day we do the next best thing to disposing of it which helps nobody.

This happens more often than you think.

Instead of wasting it, we use it to our and a needy family, elderly person or churches advantage.

When this occurs, break out your trusty "can't afford it list" and start calling.

Here is what we do. We tell them the truth, that we had a job that ended in our not using all the roof cleaning solution and, because it has a relatively SHORT shelf life once mixed into solution we would be happy to help them out and PAY IT FORWARD and come by and perform their roof cleaning now at a reduced rate, usually 1/2 to 3/4 of the quoted cost, as a offer of charitable goodwill.

There is a benefit to both you and the property owner.

They get a needed service that they may have been putting off and you get a DOUBLE benefit of having a DEEP sense of satisfaction of knowing you did a good deed and helped someone struggling financially in today's tough economic business climate and your solution does not go to waste.

Plus, you do a little bit more to get the word out that your a company that  CARES by free word of mouth advertising which will naturally happen over time.

It's a WIN_WIN! biggrin
