We all know how important it is to maintain your premises correctly. Whether you operate out of an office, run retail stores or own a warehouse, you’ll be welcoming visitors to your site regularly – so it has to look the part. But it’s not just about what’s inside your building: what’s outside counts for a great deal too.
Although most business owners take pride in their building and keep it looking clean and tidy, there is one area that often tends to fall by the wayside: the car park. Sure, it might not be the most glamorous or exciting part of your facility, but it’s every bit as important as your shop front or your office entrance. Here’s why.
It’s the first thing people see
What do people first notice about your premises? No, not your swanky furniture or your art deco light fittings… your car park! Even when people arrive on foot, they have to walk through your car park to get to your building, so keeping it looking spick and span is vital.
A pothole-strewn car park that’s untidy and poorly kept will leave a bad first impression – and first impressions matter.
It can put people at ease
For many of us, our car is our pride and joy, an expression of our personality. And even those who aren’t as in love with their car still won’t want the hassle of it getting damaged. In maintaining your car park, you’ll be creating a safe haven for visitors’ vehicles, allowing them to relax and enjoy their time inside your premises.
It has an important job to do
Car parks have to be safe, first and foremost. If you leave yours to fall into disrepair, pedestrians could injure themselves on potholes or loose paving – either of which could also damage vehicles. You have a responsibility to keep people safe. If you fail to do so, you could be left facing costly legal proceedings.
