Hello valued clients and followers,
After finishing up our year-end books, I unfortunately had to take a hard look at the areas we service and what it is costing us to get there.
My cleaners and I are all from the Blackville and Sunny Corner areas, and we primarily work throughout Miramichi.
When we started this journey, fuel was around $1.25/L, and the cost of cleaning supplies and other business expenses was considerably lower.
During that time, I made a conscious decision not to continually increase our rates. In many cases, the business was essentially breaking even.
Unfortunately, the numbers are telling us that we can no longer absorb the rising costs of fuel and supplies.
Effective going forward, we will no longer be able to extend our regular service area beyond Chatham and French Fort Cove without a fuel surcharge.
At this time, I am looking at a $10 fuel surcharge per trip, in addition to the regular cleaning rate.
I want to be very clear: this $10 does not go to me or become additional profit for the business. It goes directly to the cleaner who is travelling to service your home.
I have always tried to run 365 Property Care with people at the heart of the business. Profit has never been my main motivation. My biggest priority has always been creating employment and providing my cleaners with the best wages I possibly can while still keeping the business financially healthy.
However, I also have to be responsible for the future of the business. If I continue absorbing every increase in fuel, supplies, and operating cost, eventually there won’t be anything left to protect — and I don’t want to get to that point.
This decision wasn’t made lightly, and I truly appreciate everyone who has supported us, recommended us, and trusted us with your homes and businesses.
Thank you for understanding and for continuing to support our small local business and, most importantly, the women who work so hard behind it. ❤️
— 365 Property Care, Inc.
