Influences
Where’s the first place you check for your morning news? Did you just say to yourself: “I turn on the tv and watch local news, traffic and weather.”
Do you also listen to the radio while you’re driving to work?.... Probably. But in between, do you check your cell phone, your favorite websites, and your social media sites to see what’s cookin’?
I’ll bet for many of you, Facebook fits in there somewhere. And if not just you, think about your drycleaning clients who also go through their morning routines of checking cell phone texts and e-mails, tv news, and other info sources.
Our feature this issue, Facebook Influencers, talks with two drycleaning owners who use Facebook to not simply have a web presence, but to create creative content, be personable, and be approachable, as they tell it.

Are you using Facebook in these ways? Check out this feature article, starting on page 36, for some Facebook ideas. The article might just influence you! (Note: On our front cover is Dan LaCarte, on left, president of Model Cleaners, and Ian Jones, marketing manager at Model Cleaners.)
Talking about influencers.... our 2019 Distributors Directory starting on page 6, is fresh and newly updated with all the distributor companies you rely on to get supplies and services for your drycleaning operation, listed alpha by state. Take a look.
The Directory takes up much of this issue but we have some Around The Industry and the always-popular look-back at editorial from years past with Wrinkle In Time
Aaaaaand there’s also information about our brand new Publisher’s Impact Award we’ll be launching soon to spotlight drycleaning industry achievements.
Now I’m not trying to influence you too much here, but if you read this September issue you might become an even more well-informed drycleaning owner than you ever were before.... really, no foolin’, you just might! ADC

At SMRT systems We Get it
At the heart of SMRT, we are a dry cleaner. It’s the reason we created our software in the first place: To solve the everyday problems we ran into at our own business.
We’ve stood in your shoes -- pressing, cleaning the button trap, filling in when the driver is sick, making payroll, and replacing equipment.
And with a dry cleaner’s perspective, we’ve built, from the ground up, the best dry cleaning software in the marketplace.
We understand that dry cleaners are dynamic, high-performing entrepreneurs. It’s no small feat to run both the factory and the dealership every damn day. You deserve a software partner that knows your business and is there for you 24/7. You deserve SMRT.

does it’s
by Tim Burke
Are you on Facebook because somebody suggested your business should, “Have a presence?!”
Is that all you care to be? A place-holder in cyberspace? Or do you want to make your brand stand out, and turn it into an influencer in the realm of Facebook?
There is a lot more to social media than just being there. You can educate, bond with, and entertain people with your style, your goodwill, and your positive attitude. Really, you can!
Two separate drycleaning business presidents are going to share their first-hand knowledge, experience and views all about Facebook — what works and what doesn’t — for reaching your drycleaning customers and going beyond just counting ‘clicks.’
Here we go now getting.... beyond – the – clicks.... with our first company president....
“We have connected with other brands in the past, especially trying to grow our audiences off of each other. For example, we went on a lunch break to a local restaurant and we were able to advertise on our Facebook that we were enjoying nice lunch at XYZ in the hopes that they see it and engage with our posts. Then we are now visible
to their audience with the goal of getting more eyes on our page and our content.”
That’s Dan LaCarte, president of the drycleaning division of his family business Model Cleaners, based in Charleroi, Pa. This family-owned business is run by him and his four brothers. It was first started by their father in 1986, and has expanded from one small location to 34 locations and diversified into LaCarte Enterprises, with five separate divisions that employ over 350 employees throughout Western Pennsylvania, Morgantown, West Virginia and Northeast Ohio.
Are there challenges and surprises you didn’t expect using Facebook in new ways?
“There are always challenges with social media and trying to capture that ‘lighting in a bottle,’” LaCarte says.
“Everything you post you want to go ‘viral’ or be the best content you put out, but sadly that isn’t the case. We make great content daily and sometimes it can fall on deaf ears, so I would say that is a challenge.
“You have to just keep creating content and telling your story. Something will stick, and when it does its a great feeling. Then, it’s right back to the same process.
“The thing with social media is that most of

your content has an expiration date and it get buried with everything else, so you have to always be on top of it and posting content. This is where most brands fail. They just make social accounts because someone said, ‘You need to be on social media to succeed,’ but there is way more involved than just making an account,” LaCarte relates.
“We have been very fortunate that we do not see too many angry customers or bad reviews coming through our social outlets. One of the things we were worried about is having a disgruntled customer or ex-employee say mean things about us online. Being very social, as we are, it can
Can you share a memorable ‘lesson learned’ about interacting with customers and businesses on Facebook?
LaCarte explains: “There was one instance that we bought a child in need a Christmas present which was part of a ‘What do you want for Christmas’ social media campaign.
“We did a great job filming the process of us buying the child the gift and using our delivery truck to deliver the child the gift right before Christmas. We thought this video would really get good engagement but it did not.
“We learned that the video we made was too long, it was over three minutes, lesson learned was when we do a creative video it needs to be under two minutes or peo ple will lose attention on it,” he says.
“Best engaging posts thus far have been our Employee Spotlights and the special events we do for our team, such as cookouts, Christmas parties and tur key’s on Thanksgiving.
“Also,” he adds, “our company has six different brands with Model Cleaners, Fussy Cleaners, Williams burg Cleaners, Model Uniforms and Model Apparel, as well as Stoney’s beer.
“So we try to incorporate the ‘uni verse of brands’ like the Marvel Com ics, so for instance, if we do a video about Model Cleaners pickup and delivery, in the background you may see Stoney’s beer somewhere in the video,” LaCarte notes, referencing a subtle co-brand tie-in.
What do your customers like about your Facebook page? What does your team like about it?
“From the customer level, we like Facebook because you can show cus tomers our process, show them all that it takes to clean and press an item,” LaCarte relates.
“Educating the customer on how we actually get a ketchup stain out of a white blouse. Showing this will gain trust among our customer base to keep coming back to our operation and also this may get new customers in as well, and also showing the process in a cre ative and fun way is helpful to keep customers continually

engaged with our process,” he says.
“From the employee level,” LaCarte continues, “we like Facebook because you can post Employee Spotlights and show your appreciation to them for what they do for us and our customers on a daily basis.”
Showing the company culture on Facebook is important as well to his business.
“We do nice things for our employees such as having Christmas parties, giving turkeys out to them for Thanks giving, having cookouts, and showing this can in turn become a strong recruiting tool for us in attracting future employees for our operation,” he points out.
Lastly, What tips can you pass along to other dryclean ing owners and presidents who may be thinking about do ing more on Facebook? Help them get beyond the clicks.
“Create your company’s own personality. Be unique and creative. Do not live in a box,” LaCarte relates.
“Show your process in a fun and creative way. Once you start it, keep at it and your audience will grow. Also, use your database. In our database we have over 65,000 e-mails, and every quarter we do a Follow Us On Facebook Contest. This will help your social media following continue to grow.
“There are Facebook ads to push content to Instagram, story ads, campaigns, follow contests, you name it. I think
one thing businesses aren’t using right now to the best of their ability is using Facebook to create rich and eyecatching Instagram ads to pull people in. You have very little time to catch someone’s attention and Instagram stories allow you to at least try to grab them quickly,” LaCarte recommends.
Here we go again getting.... beyond – the – clicks.... with our next company president....
“People love dogs. Not too long ago, we asked our managers to take photos of customer’s dogs that came through the drive-thru. Dogs love to come to A Cleaner World; we hand out treats to dogs that come visit. We re ceived tons of photos from our managers, and our Facebook followers loved it!
“A few other ideas that come to mind are behind the scenes photos, sharing employee milestones, and funny laundry memes or cartoons. The bottom line is to make it personal and have fun. Followers really respond to those sorts of things.”
That’s Chris Edwards, president of A Cleaner World in High Point, N.C., a family-owned dry cleaning and fabri care business founded in 1969. The business specialize in uniform rental services; oriental rug cleaning; smoke, fire and water restoration of textiles, and sells, services and installs drycleaning and laundry equipment under our Tri-

Edwards adds that, “We also have a brand that caters to the couture and upscale customer wardrobe. These three lo cations operate as Shores Fine Dry Cleaners and is a member of The Association of Wedding Gown Specialists.”
What are some unexpected challenges and surprises to using Facebook in new ways?
“We always knew that Facebook was photo driven, so we always use great care when selecting our photos. We have seasonal posts, like out-of-season storage tips and when to have your winter coat cleaned, that we work into our calendar as a reminder to our customers.
“When we posted this winter coat cleaning reminder: Wool coats should be dry cleaned at the end of the sea son. Moths are attracted to everyday human scents like perfume, smoke, and food. Putting a wool coat away dirty makes it susceptible to critters. We chose to include a photo of a moth, and we never expected it to grab so much attention with 545 engagements and 95 shares,” Edwards says.
Share a memorable ‘lesson learned’ about interacting with customers and businesses on Facebook.
“First lesson learned: don’t run a Facebook contest,” Edwards says.
“A few years ago, we tried doing an Ugly Christmas

Barb Mitchell, social media manager at A Cleaner World, shown here with her husband Matt, son Gray, and wonderdog Macy. “Our Facebook style,” says Chris Edwards (not shown), owner and CEO of A Cleaner World, is “to be personal, approachable, and helpful.” (Photo by A Cleaner World )
Sweater Contest, and we offered four $25 free dryclean ing winners and one grand prize winner of $100 free dry cleaning. We received very few entries, and Barb Mitchell, our social media manager who works out of her home near Nashville, ultimately had to private message a number of friends and business acquaintances to beg for submissions.
“We learned that not that many people have Ugly Christ mas Sweaters, and you need a bigger prize to generate interest. It looked good on Facebook, but we really had to work at it.”
“Second lesson learned,” he continues, “folks tend to try Facebook first when they forget to pickup their dry cleaning and need you to open the store on a Sunday. This has happened a number of times, but the most memorable one was last summer when Barb and her family were get ting ready to get on a cruise ship headed for Cuba. It took her a bit of time, but we were able to get the customer her clothes. She was most grateful for the Sunday help.”
What does your team like about your Facebook page? What do your customers like about it?
“Facebook is a wonderful communication tool,” Edwards says. “We are able to help our customers solve dayto-day laundry, garment care, and fabricare issues; share hap penings in the community, especially those where they can help neighbors that may need assistance; share information
from other businesses and social media platforms; and offer our assistance should they need a problem solved.
“Customers like that we have fun on Facebook. Barb frequently shares crazy laundry issues her son and husband create, funny laundry jokes and memes, and photos of her Wonder Beagle.”
And lastly, What tips can you pass along to other dryclean ing owners and presidents who may be thinking about doing more on Facebook? Helping them to get beyond the clicks.
“Focus less on benefiting or promoting yourself or your business, and focus more on helping the customer,” Ed wards relates. “Once you develop an outward focus, cus tomers will automatically start responding.”
One other thought Edwards shares: “Our style is to be personal, approachable, and helpful. We avoid using lots of technical terms and are never stuffy when we share infor mation, we give real life examples. Barb ribs her husband a lot. Be an authority, but be an approachable authority.”
So there we have two influencers on Facebook. You might already be doing some of those things, but if you’re not there yet, keep those simple things in mind: Help your clients; keep messages friendly and brief; make use of pho tos; share your team culture; and be true to you.
The old saying, just be yourself and you’ll be fine has no better home than on Facebook.
