The $50K Flooring Stores Overlook Every Year

In flooring, it’s easy to believe growth means more leads. More traffic. More ad spend.

But if you run a flooring business, chances are you’re already sitting on tens of thousands of dollars in untapped revenue—you just haven’t seen it clearly.

From delayed approvals and unused remnant inventory to unclaimed cleanings and repairs, the revenue is there. What’s missing is the system to surface it and act on it.

That’s where Service Buddy comes in.

1. Speed Matters: Faster Approvals = More Closed Jobs

Most businesses lose work not because of price—but because they don’t follow up quickly enough.

Every day a quote sits unanswered is a day your customer keeps shopping. And with no system to track follow-ups, those jobs slip through the cracks.

With Service Buddy, your team can:

• Send quotes instantly by email or text
• Let customers approve with one click
• Automatically follow up without needing reminders

Example:

If you’re quoting 10 jobs a week at an average of $2,500, converting just two additional jobs per month could add $60,000 per year—without adding a single new lead.

2. Offer Premium Products at the Right Time

Clients may come in looking for budget options, but many are open to upgrading—if it’s positioned the right way.

If you're quoting a wool blend from Stanton or a Couristan hand-loomed style, sending multiple tiers in a single quote—along with a preferred pricing offer—can move them upmarket without pressure.

This works especially well for repeat customers or designer clients who appreciate quality.

With Service Buddy, quoting premium options is seamless and looks professional. You can even discount select items dynamically to help close the sale.

3. Clear Out Remnants and Free Up Cash

Every flooring business has a back room full of remnants: odd sizes, overcuts, discontinued rolls. For some stores, that’s thousands of dollars in premium material just sitting.

These remnants can be sold at a healthy margin—but only if customers know they exist.

Using Service Buddy, you can:

• Tag and track remnant inventory
• Create a promotion with images and pricing
• Filter your customer base by zip code, designer, or past purchases
• Send personalized texts or emails with the offer

Example:

Sell two remnants a month at $300 each = $7,200 a year

That’s from inventory you already own.

4. Bring Customers Back with Cleanings and Repairs

If you’re not reminding your customers about rug cleaning or repair, you’re missing a reliable source of recurring revenue.

You’ve already done the hard work of earning their trust. Re-engaging them is low-effort, high-impact.

Many stores see success sending seasonal reminders or post-sale cleaning offers at the 6–12 month mark. With Service Buddy, this can be automated and personalized.

Example:

5 cleanings per month at $250 = $15,000/year

Add repairs and that number climbs even higher.

5. Make Designer Relationships Easier to Manage

For stores like our customers, designers can be a key channel.

But managing those relationships manually—across email threads, shared folders, and spreadsheets—gets messy fast.

With Service Buddy, you can:

• Create dedicated designer accounts
• Organize projects, quotes, and approvals
• Offer quick reorders or alternates
• Send status updates on active jobs

That kind of organization builds loyalty—and saves your team hours each week.

6. Speed Up Your Payments and Reduce Admin Work

In-store payments are easy. But once you’re out in the field—or sending quotes remotely—things slow down.

Chasing down checks. Waiting for customers to call in. Sending reminders for balances due.

With Service Buddy, your team can:

• Text payment links
• Get notified instantly when payments are completed
• Sync payments to quotes, jobs, and reports automatically

The result? Less time chasing. More time selling.

Add It Up: Over $50,000 in Hidden Revenue

This isn’t a hypothetical. This is real money flooring businesses are already unlocking just by tightening up their workflow:

• Faster quote approvals
• Higher-margin upsells
• Remnant clearance
• Recurring cleaning & repair
• Faster payments
• Better designer management

No new ads. No new hires. Just better systems.
