TAMPA, Fla. (PRWEB) February 19, 2018 -- While the majority of your business processes may take place inside four walls, it’s important for facility managers to consider how the external appearance of your building impacts your bottom line.
“The way style of dress or word choice can influences perceptions of an individual, the exterior of your building is part of the message you send about who you are as a business,” said Bill Schaphorst, MaintenX’s VP of Business Development. “A fresh coat of paint, manicured landscaping, and attention to details like lighting and safety can make a big difference in where customers choose to spend their dollars.”
Facility managers can improve the exterior appearance of a building in a number of ways, including:
1. Welcome your Guests: The entrance to your building should be tidy and clean. Make sure shrubbery and trees don’t hang over into the path, which can create tripping and safety hazards. Small touches, like colorful annual flowers, can set your facility above the rest.
2. Light the Way: Lighting can be utilized to attract patrons and increase safety. Lighting near the entrance of a building can signal to passing customers that you’re open and welcoming to business. Additionally, lighted parking lots and walkways can make customers and employees feel secure during dark hours.
3. Color your World: Color can send powerful messages to customers. Scientists have found that color can influence your perception of temperature, reduce your ability to think analytically or induce a state of calm. If your building could use a new coat of paint, consider diving into the world of color psychology to pick a shade that can help you meet your business goals.
