Well my chicas...I am still a little out of the blogging loop. Please don't hate me for not visiting! I am determined to come visit all my favorite ladies before this weekend is over!
Part of the reason I have been MIA is a project I have been working on. Some of you know that my husband and I own a small carpet cleaning business. We have been blessed with steady business, and a continual increase in customers. So far our entire business has been built by word of mouth from happy customers. Although the economy has impacted our bottom line for sure, we still have been very fortunate to have steady work so far this year.
Still, with prices going up on EVERYTHING...including our supplies, and the several financial set-backs we've experienced in recent weeks, we decided it was time to pound the pavement and drum up some additional business.
As I mentioned before, we've never had to advertise, our customers are our best publicity. So now I am faced with the decision of the best way to get our name out there to more people. Since I have had the BEST time meeting new people through blogging, I decided that a carpet cleaning blog may be one way for people to learn about us, and what we have to offer.
I've been working really hard on puting one together for my husband. But then I faced a new dilemma. Should I blog about it here? As most of you know, I'm very protective of my family, and try hard to protect their identities. I also have never indicated on my blog where I live. Some of you know from email conversations, some of you have guessed from different things I've posted about, and a few people have "outted" me in the comments.
The thing is, I'm so proud of the hard work my husband does for our family, and I feel like maybe I should relax a little bit, and be willing to share about him, and his work with those who live near me and might be interested in our services, or in spreading the word. Ya know?
So here goes...J.P. Carpet and Tile Care is a family owned and operated business serving families in the Greater Salt Lake Valley and surrounding areas for the past 9 years! Click the button if you'd like to learn more! WHEW! Glad I got that out!

Look what good work he does!
This was taken while cleaning his sister's carpet
This is cleaning the tile at a commercial building downtown.Although carpet and tile cleaning isn't the most glamorous job, we have definitely met some wonderful people and love making new friends and forming great working relationships through our business.
I'd love you to spread the word if you know anyone who may be in need of our services!
Now I have a bunch more to blog about and hope to get it all out this next week! But for now I'm off to visit all my friends whom I've been missing so much!

I think if you have a business you are proud of, there is nothing wrong with mentioning it on a "personal blog." God puts things and people in out paths on purpose. For all you know this is part of His "big picture" and there is someone out there who will benefit from knowing you have this business.
BTW, did you see the last game when we blew it against ya'll??

I'm hoping to be able to have them done this winter.
Hope you're having a great day!♥
