What do ASP Pool Cleaning Service Franchise Owners do in the Off Season?

When most people think of owning a pool maintenance franchise, they think about having only seasonal work. While summer is certainly the busy season, ASP pool cleaning service franchise owners work year round to ensure they are providing the best possible service to their community. If you have ever wondered about starting a pool cleaning franchise, but fear the off season, we have compiled a list of activities that can be performed during the off season to continue to build your business.

●        Contact current customers about needed maintenance including pool remodels and renovations

●        Contact owners of indoor pools to solicit your services

●        Keep your staff current on industry trends and best practices by offering training sessions

●        Update your website to ensure it provides a clear message and offers users a friendly platform to engage in

●        Review your marketing strategy to find out what areas need improvement

●        Read online reviews about your company and see where improvements are needed from a consumer standpoint

●        Claim any local business listings on sites including Google Plus, Yelp, Foursquare, Yellowpages.com, etc.

●        Repair or replace any equipment needed to run your business

●        Negotiate supply costs with your vendors

●        Develop a customer loyalty and/or referral program for the coming season to encourage customers to refer your business

While pool maintenance franchise owners may only have one busy season, they work they do to build the business in the off season is equally as important. To learn more about franchise opportunities with ASP, visit: www.aspfranchising.com

Off Season Pool Tips from America’s #1 Pool Service Franchise

While winter is not the time most people are concerned about the health and safety of their pool, it should be. Our pool cleaning franchise has compiled a list of tips for off season maintenance to show pool owners everywhere the importance of caring for your pool on a year round basis. Following these simple tips will ensure a smooth opening day, and more hours spent swimming in your pool than cleaning it.

●        Algaeside and liquid chlorine should be placed in the water when the weather begins to warm, but is not quite time to open. These chemicals prevent the growth of algae on your pool walls before opening day.

●        Keep your filter free of water that could freeze and cause damage to the entire pool.

●        Caring for your pool cover prevents it from being damaged or sagging in the middle. Be sure to remove any standing rainwater or snow after a storm. If you know a storm is coming, ensure your pool cover is fitted properly and will continue to protect your pool.

●        Periodically check water levels-if they are too low, fill it up. If the levels are high, use a pump to drain out the excess.

●        Use enzymes to kill any organic compounds in the water.

●        For above ground pools, ensure you are using a pillow to absorb any weather changes and prevent the walls of your pool from being damaged.

As a leading pool service franchise, we remind our customers that “late to bed and early to rise makes a pool healthy and easy on the eyes!” Extending the season as long as you can keeps your pool healthy, and gives you less work in the off season.
