The Best Maid Sevice Franchise

The Official You’ve Got MAIDS® Blog

Before Franchising Your Business

Before taking the big step to franchising your concept, your first need to open the business yourself.  Test your assumptions with your own wallet!  We did that with the first You’ve Got MAIDS in Orlando, Florida.  It served as our Petri Dish to examine every manual, form, tactic, cleaning process, and advertising strategy.  What we learned, the hard way, would go on to become the foundation of our Systems for Success operations manual.

If your objective is to grow a coast-to-coast franchise, your new venture had better not be a fad.  Fads do not pass the test of time.  Think about the world’s first drive in theater in Camden, NJ.    Drive-in’s would not have made a good long term franchise for you to invest in because there are not too many drive-ins left.  Drive-In was a fad industry.  One industry that has passed the test of times is house cleaning.  You’ve Got MAIDS currently has a house cleaning franchise in Cherry Hill, NJ that cleans homes very close to that first Camden New Jersey  Drive-In Theater.

House Cleaning Franchise CEO’s Focus…

My role as the CEO of our house cleaning franchise has changed.  In the beginning the number one goal was to build a house cleaning franchise that was profitable, served the unmet needs of our clients, and improved the lives of our employees.   Next we needed to document what works (and what doesn’t), so we could replicate our successes over, and over again.   We documented our best practices in our Systems For Success operations manual.

Is House Cleaning A Commodity?

At You’ve Got MAIDS we believe that residential house cleaning is not a commodity.  Crude oil, corn, rubber and coal are commodities.  A barrel of oil is worth roughly the same amount of money no matter where you purchase it.  Commodities can be mass produced, but I have yet to find a commodity that can clean your commode.

Human beings are all different, and residential cleaning service are chuck full of human beings.  Some cleaning services are better than other for attracting, training and retaining quality maids.  You’ve Got MAIDS is the type of cleaning service to which I refer.  That’s why we will not be the cheapest maid service in your town, and if you knew what was best for you, you wouldn’t have it any other way.

GREEN CLEAN

In our ever changing world many people are taking small steps to save our earth. You’ve Got MAIDS® has taken the initiative; we’re proud to be both environmentally friendly and price competitive with companies that are not bio-friendly. It starts off with the phone estimate. Customers prefer this convenient and straightforward method which also conserves fuel and paper. In fact, most of our correspondences are over the phone or via email. We further lower our fuel consumption and carbon footprint by having our maids carpool to your house. Green cleaning your home with microfiber cleaning cloths, HEPA filtered vacuums and non-toxic cleaning products is a step in the green direction.  After all, it is the sum of the smaller acts that gives way to the greatest results. On behalf of the staff of You’ve Got MAIDS® thank you for partnering with us in our vision to protect our planet.

RESIDENTIAL MAID SERVICE

A professional residential maid service is a business which provides house cleaning for homeowners who do not have the time nor desire to clean their own homes. Residential maid services have become increasingly common in America with an industry growth rate of 20% a year.

RESIDENTIAL CLEANING SERVICE

A professional residential cleaning service, like You’ve Got MAIDS®, may be a few more dollars than a part-time independent under the table maid(normally between $0.71 & $1.42 a day), but it offers numerous advantages. We provide screened, trained, bonded and insured maids that bring all of the necessary cleaning supplies. In fact, when you hire us, you can delete cleaning products from your shopping list. Also, as a bona fide employer, You’ve Got MAIDS® is responsible for withholding Social Security income taxes, Medicare Tax, FUTA & SUTA. Most importantly You’ve Got MAIDS® worker compensation insurance insulates you & your family from personal injury attorneys.

RESIDENTIAL HOME CLEANING

You’ve Got MAIDS® strives to deliver more than expected each time. We get it.  A lot of residential home cleaning service providers over promise and under deliver. At You’ve Got MAIDS® we want long term relationships with our customers, and our goal is to under promise and over deliver.

RESIDENTIAL HOME CLEANING SERVICE

If you notice the maids do something that makes you happy, let them know. Better yet let us know by clicking our feedback button.  We care.  Your compliments are words of encouragement… like sunshine to your maids…they will not grow without it! Our CEO reads each and every piece of feedback before forwarding it to the local franchise office.

At You’ve Got MAIDS® we understand that communication is key, and we welcome all feedback…not just the good stuff! We carefully review and share everything with the maids in a construction manner. The good to great feedback gets shared at the morning meeting in front of everyone, and might go on our Wall of Fame! The not so great feedback is reviewed in private, and goes into the employees file.  As a company, we consume feedback for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
