Although supply and material costs are likely to be a small part of your cleaning company's expenses, these costs are continuing to spiral, and so controlling these expenses will lead to more profit for your business. These days, prices, quality control, change quickly, so the total expense of your supplies may not be accurately reflected in cleaning bids. Keeping these costs down are important to remain competitive as well as staying profitable.
Following are tips to keep your costs down:
Always buy high quality brand name products that work well for you. If a new product comes out, ask your distributor for a sample that you can try to be sure the product will work in your situation. Low priced chemicals aren't necessarily the best choice, quality control, . If you have to use more of a "cheaper" product, than you are not really saving any money.
Don't make a buying decision solely based on cost. If the product is being delivered to you make sure you know what the shipping charges are and include those in figuring out the total cost of the product. If you, quality control, need to pick up the product at a local distributor, figure in your time (or your employee's time), quality control, and the mileage needed to pick up that product.
If possible, make one large order with your vendor instead of several smaller orders. This will help keep your shipping costs down and you may also be able to take advantage of volume discounting.
Buying larger sizes or products or chemicals that you mix yourself tends to be more economical than buying products in small sizes or ready-to-use containers.
If your employees are, quality control, mixing chemicals, make sure that they read and follow all label directions. Adding too much water will make a chemical less effective; adding too little is a waste of product (and money) and may cause damage to the floor or fixture that is being cleaned.
Think before you buy. New products are, quality control, coming out, quality control, all the time. Do you really need to have five or six products, if one will do what, quality control, these other products promise?
Don't be afraid to pass on price increases to your customers. For you to stay, quality control, in business you need to make a profit. Your customers should understand that for your company to stay in business you can't absorb, quality control, increased costs.
Help to keep your profits coming in by keeping your supply costs in check. Following these tips will help you take a second look at what you are buying and why. Remember, you are in business to make a profit. Don't throw it, quality control, away by neglecting your supply costs.

The Advantage to Buying Promotional Products Online
Author: Rick Sheldon
Source: articleage.com
Buying your promotional products and corporate apparel online provides five major advantages: a greater selection, better pricing, convenience, customer, quality control, service, and faster ordering time.
Manufacturers often display their entire line of products on the internet, providing you with a greater selection of products. With all of these manufacturers online,, quality control, you gain the opportunity to compare pricing and quality in a simple and accessible online format, instead of wasting time flipping through endless catalogs that crowd your workspace.
Better pricing is readily available online, but you have to search for it. Type any promotional product related keywords into your favorite search engine and sift through the results until you find a company with discount pricing. Another great trick is to choose an item and have a few companies give you a quote with the price of freight included. This will get you a number much closer, quality control, to the total cost.
How do these online companies afford to sell the exact same product for less than other distributors? Traditionally, promotional items are sold by a distributor who has outside sales, quality control, people that will go to your place of business, show you samples, and walk you through the process of placing an order. These outside sales people are the primary expense of an off-line distributor. This expense is then factored into the price of the promotional item, thus raising your total cost. When purchasing discount promotional products online, you can eliminate this huge cost and save considerable amounts of money.
Convenience, quality control, comes with, quality control, the capability of placing your entire order online. All successful online companies offer this service with encrypted order forms to secure your purchasing information. It is always a necessary hassle to send the artwork to your promotional products, quality control, company, quality control, . This is made easy with the online form. With online ordering you gain the convenience of placing your order anytime, twenty-four hours a day.
A few of these online companies also provide customer service departments with long hours. They are set up primarily to take your calls, handle rush orders, and to answer your questions promptly. If you prefer to communicate through e-mail, this is a great way to document your order from start to finish. You can e-mail a question to your distributor, leave for lunch, and have it answered by the time you return.
A faster ordering time is the fifth major, quality control, result of the online purchase. I have personally visited hundreds of clients. This obviously requires an appointment, which naturally must fit into both parties' schedules. An off-line salesperson is forced to interpret your needs prior to your meeting. They bring what samples and catalogs they have on hand, but these may not meet your needs and thus your ordering time will be extended for a second meeting. If you have any questions about product availability, turn, quality control, around time, or any other factory sensitive inquiries, the, quality control, salesperson will have to return to his office in order to contact the factory, in order to answer your question. When you order from an online company, the customer service team is already, quality control, in their office, so they can contact the factory with your questions and call you back immediately.
I have given you five great reasons to buy promotional products online, but I must also remind you that there is always a trade-off. Online promotional products companies work very hard to cut all possible costs and to pass the savings on to you. You will find that this results in a charge for samples and pre-payment requirements. The charge for samples insures that the company will not give away products to non-customers, as this would considerably raise the real customers' costs. Paying in advance is very common among internet purchasing in general,, quality control, and necessary for almost every online company to insure payment. Pre-payment is nothing to worry about. You still have, quality control, the right to a quality product, and you gain an enormous savings.
One other tip, select an online company that has in-house embroidery or screen printing facilities. It has been my experience that these companies have much better control of expediting your orders, a stronger knowledge of branding, experience which allows them to better monitor quality control, and a great tendency to complete rush orders faster.
You will find that many more successful businesses are now placing their promotional product and corporate apparel needs in the hands of these qualified online distributors. The advantages are numerous; convenience, speed, selection, accountability, service, and above all, savings.

Business Dealings With Foreign Suppliers - Effective Relationships to Build a Better Business
Author: Julian Deverell
Source: ezinearticles.com
Humble beginnings
During the last decade globalization has opened the flood gates of foreign trading and the backwash has run into the crevices of even the smallest companies. Where once only large organisations could deal effectively with far away suppliers now even the most modest of traders can source supply from foreign producers.
My experience of foreign trade began in the summer of 2003 when I worked for a small importers of wooden toys and games including chess sets. I became the companies primary contact with suppliers, all of whom were based in China. Because the company was so small (turn over well under £1m) staff numbers were thin on the ground. This meant my role was very varied, I would deal with packaging, product design, quality control and general negotiations with suppliers.
After a fairly short time in the role I quickly realized that things were, quality control, going wrong, very wrong. Products were incorrect, quality was poor, &control of quality completely non existent! My discussions with the mildly competent sales department taught me that half of what they were selling were partially defective clearance lines. In fact the company was running in a highly inefficient way. External factors such as a very strong, quality control, pound, a booming economy and extremely low labour costs in China were the only things stopping the company from going bust. Indeed once these factors switched to less favorable ones they did go into administration.
What surprised me most about this slowly sinking ship was how face to face interaction with their suppliers was virtually non existent. In fact the only contact they had with their suppliers was via email. They were getting container loads of stock, quality control, sent over to the UK not knowing if the contents, quality control, was going, quality control, to be sale-able or destined for the bonfire. I was unable to effect many changes within, quality control, the company due to the belligerent and stubborn owners so after twelve months I left to set up my own business importing chess sets and other goods from China.
A new start
Initially things looked, quality control, very Rosy, the economy was still, quality control, in boom mode, the pound strong and on line demand for these products high. Using these advantages, quality control, I managed to build a small yet profitable business importing products from China and retailing them on line through various e-commerce platforms. I was dealing with two Chinese suppliers, both of, quality control, who were contacts from, quality control, my days at the ailing toy importers.
It's fair to say that had I been a total stranger these suppliers would not have started to deal with me, they were too big to want to deal with a small start up. Because they knew me and the, quality control, way I worked both were keen to help me build my fledgling company. MOQ's were low and prices good, things were looking up.
And so the pitfalls came
Things started to go wrong when the quality of the products began to suffer. Batches of perfectly good products would arrive in containers,, quality control, followed by repeat orders that were riddled with defects. While I sat down and worked out the cost to my company of these mistakes the Chinese searched for pathetic excuses and reasons why they were not going to refund me.
I quickly realized that the only way I was going to sort out these issues was to get myself over to China, meet the suppliers in person and see with my own eyes how my products were being made. I booked my flight and told the suppliers I was coming. I was keen to show them that I meant business and that if we could work through these issues together business would flourish.
It's worth remembering that capitalism, quality control, and business is fairly new to countries, quality control, like China. Our sense of business in the developed side of the globe is a far cry from their rapidly developing business world. It's these differences that cause so many problems between Chinese and English companies.
It became clear to me that the Chinese were unable to see past the current deal they were working on. So obsessed with making a profit on every single order they would sooner murder their children than break the rule of capitalism and make a loss. In the developed world things have evolved a lot more. We know that sometimes you need to take a loss today in order to facilitate a profit tomorrow and beyond. We have all been there:Making, quality control, a costly concession for a customer to rectify a bad situation in the knowledge that the reputation these actions will bring is worth 1000 times what we spend to keep them happy.
During my dealings with the Chinese I would visit the suppliers around, quality control, four times each year. I would inspect my products, ensure they fixed mistakes in production and suggest positive ways they could make their lives easier. Some people have suggested that everything that's ever been invented in the world started it's beginnings in a garden shed in England. It seems the, quality control, English have an in built sense of practicality, innovation and ideas. Of course without the rest of the world to help us these great, quality control, ideas would probably all still be in the shed but it's worth remembering that people from other cultures can sometimes lack what we would call 'common sense'
Take nothing for granted when sourcing your products from suppliers abroad. If a box says 'This Way Up' don't ever assume the supplier will rotate it the right way. If you simply assume they will use common sense to get it right expect nothing more, quality control, than a shrug of the shoulders from the suppliers while you pull our your hair after it's all gone wrong!
Lessons learned, time to move on
These days I don't buy anything from China, India became the source of many of our fine chess set products after a conscious decision was taken to move away from mass produced goods into higher end crafted products. The lessons learned from the China experience have enabled me to deal effectively, quality control, with the Indians and avoid the pitfalls I previously faced with China.
Which ever country you are dealing with the same principles, quality control, apply. By far and away the best method of dealing with your supplier is face to face. It shows the supplier you are serious, that you mean business and that you are in it for the long haul. Meeting, quality control, the supplier, quality control, in person can be a reassurance that you are not dealing with an Internet scamster selling someone else's rejects, or it can be the meeting you needed to realize they are not worth the risk. Either way, you need to get out there and see them. If your business is not worth the price of a plane ticket and a few nights in a hotel then it begs the question, what is it worth?
These days I also buy from EU based countries,, quality control, Spain, Poland, Italy. While the prices are nowhere near as good as the Chinese the products and service are in a different league. Trading with other EU members is so easy and has become very profitable for my company. I would still advise visiting your EU based suppliers in person for the sake of growing your business, indeed the trips I have made to European cities have been much more pleasurable than those to industrial Chinese areas. Business trip to Barcelona anyone?
