    Whats The Potential?
 

Everyone knows that 3M Scotchgard makes a great add-on sale. Customers are usually more than happy to pay the extra cash in return for keeping their carpets looking fresh and clean for longer. However, you may not fully recognize the incredible money making potential of 3M Scotchgard.

Thousands of carpet cleaners across the United States give away 3M Scotchgard as an incentive to buy carpet cleaning. If you’re one of those carpet cleaners whose customers just keep coming back for more free Scotchgard, then congratulations — you’ve built a great repeat business program. Just be sure you realize exactly how much of a deal your customers are getting with free Scotchgard protection.

Stop for a moment right now and think about how much money you make in an hour. With that number in mind, consider this: when you’re protecting carpets with 3M Scotchgard you’re making $300 an hour.

Here’s how: Scotchgard’s new formula will cover 1000 square feet per gallon of concentration, giving you 2 typical jobs from each gallon of 3M Scotchgard. When you do the math, you’ll see that costs you only 4.7 cents per square foot. And that’s if you only purchase the smallest amount of 3M available from Pembertons, so you’re paying about $47.per gallon.

Most carpet cleaners treat an average of 500 square feet in 15 minutes, so if you charge 15 cents per square foot you’ll be making $300 for every hour you spend applying 3M Scotchgard Protector. Great news if you’re interested in bringing in $300 an hour — maybe not quite as exciting if you’ve been giving it away though! Treat just 7 homes each week at an average of 500 square feet per home, and you’ll pull in over $18,200 in GROSS PROFIT each year just from 3M Scotchgard.
