Franchisees received nearly a third more customer leads during June-September than same time last year
Cleaning is top of the agenda for UK homeowners, according to oven cleaning franchise Ovenclean, which has experienced its best summer for customer enquiries ever.
The business, which has around 100 UK franchisees, has reported receiving nearly a third more leads than the same time last year.
The 28 per cent rise during June-September underlines the fact that oven cleaning services are more in demand than ever.
Rebecca de Chair, marketing manager at Ovenclean, says: “We’re really proud to offer our cleaning service to this increased demand, which is partly a result of increased home baking during lockdown and generally because cleaning has become more of a priority for UK homeowners in recent months.
“Together with more people working from home, it’s never been easier to organise a professional deep oven clean.
“What’s more, it shows our national marketing campaigns, which include social media advertising, Google pay per click, TV and influencer activity, are continuing to work effectively.
“Coronavirus has put enormous pressure on everyone and it’s understandable that people will be worried about going to work or having people come into their homes.
“But we’re doing everything in our power to keep our oven cleaning franchisees and their customers safe, adhering to COVID-19 secure practices at all times.”
Ovenclean’s COVID secure measures include quoting and booking appointments over the phone or by email and ensuring franchisees maintain a two-metre distance from customers.
In addition, franchisees wear masks, gloves, coveralls and overshoes where appropriate and disinfect any surfaces they come into contact with.
Ovenclean is also operating a paper and cash-free system where possible and all franchisees are using the NHS’s track and trace app.
