Building Service Contracting : How to Start, Promote, and Manage a Cleaning Maintenance Janitorial Service Business, (Hardbound Edition) Review

This 350-page book, first published in 1980, has been updated and revised six times, most recently in February 2000. It is a complete and comprehensive source of information for starting, promoting, and managing a successful janitorial service business.

Building Service Contracting will teach you how to start your own business with a minimal investment and earn as much as you want. Your potential earnings are unlimited, depending upon how much time and effort you are willing and able to put into your business.

The 2011-2016 Outlook for Sanitation and Janitorial Cleaners in Latin America

The 2011-2016 Outlook for Sanitation and Janitorial Cleaners in Latin America Review

This econometric study covers the outlook for sanitation and janitorial cleaners in Latin America. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-a-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

This study does not report actual sales data (which are simply unavailable, in a comparable or consistent manner in virtually all of the countries in Latin America). This study gives, however, my estimates for the latent demand, or the P.I.E. for sanitation and janitorial cleaners in Latin America. It also shows how the P.I.E. is divided across the national markets of Latin America. For each country, I also show my estimates of how the P.I.E. grows over time (positive or negative growth). In order to make these estimates, a multi-stage methodology was employed that is often taught in courses on international strategic planning at graduate schools of business.

The 2011-2016 Outlook for Sanitation and Janitorial Cleaners in India Review

This econometric study covers the latent demand outlook for sanitation and janitorial cleaners across the states, union territories and cities of India. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across over 5,000 cities in India. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of it's state or union territory and of India as a whole is reported. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-a-vis others. This statistical approach can prove very useful to distribution and/or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each state or union territory and city, latent demand estimates are created for sanitation and janitorial cleaners. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

This study gives, however, my estimates for the latent demand, or the P.I.E., for sanitation and janitorial cleaners in India. It also shows how the P.I.E. is divided and concentrated across the cities and regional markets of India. For each state or union territory, I also show my estimates of how the P.I.E. grows over time. In order to make these estimates, a multi-stage methodology was employed that is often taught in courses on strategic planning at graduate schools of business.

The 2011 Report on Janitorial, Maintenance, Trash Disposal, Guard and Security, Mail Routing Reception, Laundry, and Related Facilities Support Services: World Market Segmentation by City

The 2011 Report on Janitorial, Maintenance, Trash Disposal, Guard and Security, Mail Routing Reception, Laundry, and Related Facilities Support Services: World Market Segmentation by City Review

This report was created for global strategic planners who cannot be content with traditional methods of segmenting world markets. With the advent of a "borderless world", cities become a more important criteria in prioritizing markets, as opposed to regions, continents, or countries. This report covers the top 2000 cities in over 200 countries. It does so by reporting the estimated market size (in terms of latent demand) for each major city of the world. It then ranks these cities and reports them in terms of their size as a percent of the country where they are located, their geographic region (e.g. Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, North America, Latin America), and the total world market.

In performing various economic analyses for its clients, I have been occasionally asked to investigate the market potential for various products and services across cities. The purpose of the studies is to understand the density of demand within a country and the extent to which a city might be used as a point of distribution within its region. From an economic perspective, however, a city does not represent a population within rigid geographical boundaries. To an economist or strategic planner, a city represents an area of dominant influence over markets in adjacent areas. This influence varies from one industry to another, but also from one period of time to another.

In what follows, I summarize the economic potential for the world's major cities for "janitorial, maintenance, trash disposal, guard and security, mail routing reception, laundry, and related facilities support services" for the year 2011. The goal of this report is to report my findings on the real economic potential, or what an economist calls the latent demand, represented by a city when defined as an area of dominant influence. The reader needs to realize that latent demand may or may not represent real sales.

Janitorial & Carpet Cleaning Services

Janitorial & Carpet Cleaning Services Review

Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:

The US janitorial services and carpet cleaning industry consists of about 50,000 janitorial companies and about 9,000 carpet and upholstery cleaning companies with combined annual revenue of about billion. Major companies include divisions of companies such as ServiceMaster and ABM Industries, private companies such as UGL Unicco and Stanley Steemer, and franchisers such as Coverall Health-Based Cleaning System and Jani-King. The industry is fragmented: the 50 largest companies generate about 30 percent of revenue. Janitorial services generate most of the revenue for the industry.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Commercial real estate occupancy and income growth drive demand for cleaning services. The profitability of individual companies depends on good marketing. Large companies have an advantage in serving customers with multiple locations. Small companies can compete effectively in local markets, especially for small business and residential customers. Both segments of the industry are labor-intensive: for janitorial services, average annual revenue per employee is about ,000; for carpet cleaning about ,000.

PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY

Janitorial services account for about 90 percent of industry revenue. Janitorial work includes general services, such as cleaning, trash pickup, floor polishing, and the specialty services of cleaning carpet and ducts and washing windows. Operations consist of crews cleaning commercial, industrial, and residential buildings by hand or with the help of basic equipment like floor polishers.

Carpet and upholstery cleaning firms account for about 10 percent of industry revenue. Water, steam, and/or various chemicals are injected into a carpet...

Janitorial Equipment Supply Wholesaling in the US

Coming into service

This industry is reaping the benefits of an aging population. As the population ages, there will be greater demand for beauty salon services as consumers seek to reduce the skin's aging process. Additionally, with corporate profit on the rise, businesses are spending more on equipment and supplies and outsourcing laundry services. As a result of these trends, demand for industry products will increase; however, many companies will buy these products directly from manufacturers, hampering overall growth.

Operators sell specialized equipment and supplies used by service establishments (except supplies used in offices, stores, hotels, restaurants, schools, health, medical and photographic facilities). Janitorial supplies include carpet and floor cleaning equipment, carpet sweepers, vacuuming systems, floor sanding equipment and mop wringers. The industry also includes beauty parlor and barbershop products and laundry and dry cleaning products and equipment.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.

The 2009-2014 Outlook for Janitorial Services in Greater China

The 2009-2014 Outlook for Janitorial Services in Greater China Review

This econometric study covers the latent demand outlook for janitorial services across the regions of Greater China, including provinces, autonomous regions (Guangxi, Nei Mongol, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Xizang - Tibet), municipalities (Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai, and Tianjin), special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau), and Taiwan (all hereafter referred to as "regions"). Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across some 1,100 cities in Greater China. For each major city in question, the percent share the city is of the region and of Greater China is reported. Each major city is defined as an area of "economic population", as opposed to the demographic population within a legal geographic boundary. For many cities, the economic population is much larger that the population within the city limits; this is especially true for the cities of the Western regions. For the coastal regions, cities which are close to other major cities or which represent, by themselves, a high percent of the regional population, actual city-level population is closer to the economic population (e.g. in Beijing). Based on this "economic" definition of population, comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city's marketing and distribution value vis-a-vis others. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.
