Concrete Cleaning Discussed at World of Concrete Expo 03
If you are in the pressure washing business and are serious about what you clean on the ground floor, I suggest you attend the WOC. The WOC is the World of Concrete Expo in Las Vegas, which is held once per year. Each year it grows and is now one of the largest trade shows in Las Vegas. We spent two days walking the halls, meeting vendors, potential customers and learning about new materials, cleaners and equipment. The first year we attended the show was the World of Concrete Expo 03' from 02-04-03 to 02-07-03 we cruised the Blitz mobile around the Vegas Strip and into the World of Concrete (WOC) Expo. Talk about information over load, this was the largest Expo for Concrete ever in the history of the world, thus the name World Concrete Exposition was very appropriate. We met people from over 30 countries in attendance and discussed the markets in Europe, South Africa, South America, Australia, Japan and even Russia. http://www.worldofconcrete.com/content/splash_woc.htm We have been back every year since then and every year, you guessed it gets bigger. Our Company the Concrete Wash Guys, cleans all types of concrete from new construction, shopping malls, fast food restaurants, runways and even large box stores like Home Depot and Wal-Mart. www.ConcreteWashguys.com Feel free to go to our website if you run a mobile cleaning business as it may give you some ideas of what to clean and how to clean it. It might also give you ideas on how to market your services to the big boys. As we travel the country we see many eyesores where concrete has not been cleaned at very image conscious businesses. We know there is a market and we intend to clean up the world, but we cannot do it alone, so we must help educate the other mobile surface cleaners out there so that they can help us. In Los Angeles alone there is said to be 300 square miles of concrete, imagine the opportunity just in cleaning God's dirt of the ground? As many larger customer have cut back on concrete cleaning frequency and even strung out independent operators to dry in slow receivables, we see additional markets and were presently surprised to receive a warm reception from builders, parking structure owners, property management professionals and contractors. If you are in the pressure washing business and you are smart then you will go to the World of Concrete Expo in 2005 in Las Vegas and we will see you there. This is just one way you can stay on top of the industry's greatest innovations. We attend such functions to help our team members know the value of knowledge; you would be wise to do the same. Think about it. "Lance Winslow" - If you have innovative thoughts and unique perspectives, come think with Lance; www.WorldThinkTank.net/wttbbs
