At Scope Linens we often brainstorm about ways to make
things easier and more convenient for our regular clients, many of whom are
busy running health clubs, country clubs, spas, gyms, fitness centers, resorts,
swimming pools or college sports teams. Many of these facilities are regular,
consistent users of our amenities and locker room supplies, which include a
complete collection of personal care products, athletic and fitness items and
janitorial supplies for cleaning and general maintenance.
Since these are all consumables, we've noticed that many of
our regulars maintain a routine ordering schedule for these items to ensure
stocks never fall short and needed supplies are always readily at hand. That's
good thinking and makes for smoother operations all around, especially when
members become accustomed to what they like and expect.
Now, it may not be an earth shattering revelation guaranteed
to bring about world peace, but here's an idea that could certainly bring about
a higher level of contentment in your club. Imagine a world full of stacks and
stacks of soft, immaculately clean and
fluffy towels that always look new, like
what you'd expect to find in bathrooms of the finer hotels about town. Just
think of the impression of always having access to a clean,
healthy looking towel will have on your clients. It's the little things like this that really
count in making your clientele feel special and, most of all, well-pampered.
While towels aren't consumable to the same degree as soap,
shampoo and disinfectant spray cleaner, they're something that definitely
degrades with age, use and continual laundering. And while the towels we offer
here at Scope Linens are
made to be durable, there's no question that there are
quality differences in the items found in the good, better and
best categories
we feature. So here's the idea.
The Monthly Order
Just like you maintain a regular schedule of ordering common
consumables for your club, we'd like to suggest you consider Scope's idea of
monthly ordering for towels too. Consistent ordering on a monthly basis will
ensure that you always have a plentiful supply of clean,
good-looking towels on
hand and that none get overused to the point of starting to look raggedy. The
idea is to establish a particular day of the month to order towels and stick to
that schedule regardless of whether or not you think new towels are needed at
that particular moment. You can then do a quarterly reconciliation of your
stocks to determine if towel movement should be increased, decreased or is just
right.
This way, you won't have to constantly be concerned with the
number of towels in your inventory that have become soiled beyond recovery or
have disappeare
d from your facility by inadvertently being walked out the door
in someone's gym bag. When some of the towels you have on hand start to look a
bit tired and worn, rather than continuing to use them past their time for
retirement they can be recycled to, for example, a homeless shelter in the
area. They would certainly be grateful for your thoughtful contribution. In the
meantime, your members will appreciate the fact that the towels you're
supplying for their use are always at their best, looking clean and healthy and
feeling soft and still full of fluff!
Order up three pounds of premium, plush, double cam ring
spun terry cloth cotton 16 X 27s from our Gym Line and you'll have a dozen
quality hand towels that will bring a smile to your members' mouths. These
towels are multi-taskers – small enough to conveniently carry around on the gym
floor but big enough to soak up sweat like a thirsty desert dweller.
