If you operate a shopping center, heavy traffic through your parking lot is typically a great problem to have, but it does create a lot of additional work to keep your paved parking lot or parking deck clean. A clean parking lot makes a good first impression on prospective customers, and is also an effective way to discourage auto break-ins.
There are many creative ways to encourage new customers to pull into your parking lot, but in our experience, sometimes, it’s just best to stick to the basics. A clean, attractive storefront is a great start, and as long as you keep your parking lot free from leaves and other debris, people will pull in with confidence!
With all the daily responsibilities that you face as a business owner, parking lot maintenance might not be your first priority, but that doesn’t make it less important. When prospective customers pull into a trashy parking lot, it tells them that the business isn’t paying attention to the details, and there’s a good chance that they’ll take their business elsewhere. And even though clutter might not be a dealbreaker for your employees, a clean parking lot and office space is always good for office morale.
