Pete Phillips of Clean Sweep, in Chattanooga, TN is the latest of our partners to be profiled in this month’s edition of North American Sweeper Magazine.  Like many sweeper companies, Clean Sweep is a second generation, family owned and operated business.  Pete’s mom was a property manager who found reliable sweeping service companies were hard to come by, so his father decided to take the plunge and get into the business in the 1980’s.  Clean Sweep did the initial construction clean up sweeping for local area retailers such as Target and Best Buy, and his company never parted ways with these and other big stores. …

We hope everyone enjoyed this year’s NPE show in Nashville!   1-800-SWEEPER displayed a 40 ft banner in the convention center parking area, projected the 1-800-SWEEPER logo on the lobby floor of the Renaissance Hotel, and co-sponsored the Sweepers Night Out at the Wildhorse Saloon.  We gave away a RedMax blower by registering NAPSA members at the NAPSA booth and at the Sweepers Night Out. The winner was Latasha Crenshaw of AC Sweepers in Atlanta, GA.  A cocktail reception was also held for partners and invited guests. A great time was had by all.   In case you are interested in some of the pictures, we have gathered a small collection for you to enjoy! …

If you are attending the World of Asphalt show in San Antonio next month, make sure you attend the Increase Productivity and Safety through Effective use of Power Sweeping Equipment educational seminar on Thursday, 3/21 at 9:30AM.  Three 1-800-SWEEPER members will be presenting:  Ken Lindsey of Commercial Power Sweep, Inc, Debbie Jacketta from Jacketta Sweeping Service, and Thesing Power Sweeping’s Doug Sauder. The seminar is focused on best practices for working with a sweeping contractor to get the most out of the relationship. You won’t want to miss it!

As usual, the exhibit show floor will feature leading manufacturers and service providers, showcasing their newest products and technologies. See you in San Antonio!

Every now and then, we receive pictures from our members showing special clean up efforts.  Our members have done sweeping for Hollywood movies, high profile photo shoots, and the Super Bowl.   This collection of Mardis Gras clean up pictures was submitted by Warren and Bridget Burge of Clean Sweep, Inc., located in Baker Louisiana.  The clean up took roughly 90 hours and amounted to approximately $20,000 in sales revenue.  While the size of the job and the sweeping contract sound good, the best part is that this lead was generated by our online marketing efforts here at 1-800-SWEEPER HQ.  If you have ever wondered about Mardis Gras clean up, or what a $20,000 plus sweeping job looks like, you’ll want to check out these photos.  Congratulations to the Clean Sweep team for a job well done! …
