My oldest sister grew up in Texas and knows full well that it takes some special talents to clean up after some of their natural disaster moments.  When you have to deal with tornadoes and hurricanes, clean up can be a little tough.  But for the people in Austin, they can call the professionals known as The Steam Team.  This company has been in business since the early 80s and has been named one of the city’s fastest growing companies by the Austin Business Journal. Check them out online at http://www.thesteamteam.com.

The Steam Team uses only the safest cleaning methods and no harsh chemicals.  They know that the only way to keep their clients happy is to do the best job possible so they guarantee their work.  If there’s ever a problem with their work, they’ll go to extremes to do whatever it takes to make sure their customers are happy.  And to further ensure the safety of their clientele, they make sure all their staff members are insured and bonded.

Though known for their carpet cleaning abilities, The Steam Team can clean just about anything in the home.  They can clean leather and upholstery, and offer their customers leather furniture cleaning tips to help with the upkeep between visits.   They can do drapery and hardwood floor cleanings, get rid of obtrusive pet odors, and can deal with smoke and fire restoration duties.  If it needs to be cleaned in the Austin area, The Steam Team has what it takes.

Whatever nastiness the weather in Austin throws at you, The Steam Team can clean it up.  They can even accommodate those who have a deep love of the planet and want a company who believes in going green.  If you’ve got something in your home that needs to be brought back to it’s normal beauty, call the professionals at The Steam Team.  They’ll have all your Texas sized cleaning issues handled in a New York minute.

(The company in the above article asked me to do a review of their site.  All opinions are of my own and all information can be found directly from the company’s website.)

As an online business owner, I’m always looking for ways to bring new customers to my site.  The problem isn’t so much getting people from other states or countries to check out my business, but those who live right here in the same town I do.  That’s why I’ve been thinking about different ways of getting local people to check  out my sites.  And one of the ideas I’ve come up with is to order some custom imprinted pens with my company logo on them.  I see business pens all the time and always wondered if they were a good PR tactic or not.  Guess this is a good way of finding out.

There are other ways of attracting some of the locals.  One way is to send out letters to other business owners using stationary with my business name at the top, and complete the ensemble with some custom envelopes.  I don’t know if it would work, but it would sure look cool.  I’ve always been a fan of custom stationary and letterheads.  I’ve found some of my favorite places this way, so I know it works.  Well at least for me anyway.

Finally, I thought about putting ads in the local papers.  Now I know paying for advertising can get VERY expensive, but there are ways around it.  Rather than taking out ad space, I can always put a quickie piece in the want ads.  It’s a lot cheaper and more people will actually see it.  My local paper also has a section for small business owners to put in their business cards, so that might be another option.  But whatever I do, I still think I’m going to get myself some of those engraved pens.  I always wanted to see my own business on a pen.  LOL
