Better Life Maids & Better Life Team Up to Develop a National Name Brand in Green Cleaning

Saint Louis, MO (PRWEB) November 07, 2011

Better Life Maids, a green house cleaning franchise, has teamed up with Better Life, a manufacturer of premium green household cleaning products. Together they hope to create the nations first household name brand in green cleaning.


Founded in 2008, Better Life has made a name for itself by developing a line of household cleaners which are unmatched in safety and unbeatable in performance. Carried coast-to-coast in retailers such as Whole Foods Market, Better Life provides a range of products from their what-EVER! natural all-purpose cleaner to their Oak-Y Dokey wood furniture cleaner and polish. They have also recently launched a 100% plant derived line of hand soaps and lotions.


According to Better Life co-founder and CEO, Tim Barklage, Better Life products provide todays educated and discriminating consumer what they are looking for in a household cleaning product safety, performance and a touch of whimsy. Barklage adds, Our products smell great but they are free of synthetic perfumes and fragrances, they perform great but are free of petrochemicals, and they look great in your home.


Founded in 2008 as well Better Life Maids, up until now, has operated in the St. Louis region. Like its name says, Better Life Maids provides maid services using the entire line of Better Life cleaning products. In addition to these products, Better Life Maids use green cleaning practices, an environmentally friendly fleet featuring the Toyota Prius, and promotes itself as a high quality alternative to most traditional house cleaning services. Co-founder Angela Ricketts, who is the VP of Client Experience at Better Life Maids and has a large social media following states.


I love the fact that we are so accessible to our clients, potential clients, followers, and fans. I wanted to build a business that was transparent, and that shared my own personal values. Our marketing relies heavily on leveraging our Core Values online and developing an ongoing relationship with our clients.


Angela says she relied heavily on developing the culture first. Our Core Values are the fundamental reason we are one of the highest rated maids services in St. Louis. Our Core Values are the standard we set for ourselves every day to deliver an excellent client experience.


While many companies make claims like this it appears that Better Life Maids actually delivers. On its Facebook page are many reviews that verify that the philosophy they have developed is a major part of its success. Angies List, a source of independent reviews by consumers has dozens of A reviews for Better Life Maids as well. In fact for 2010 Better Life Maids received a Super Service Award from Angies List.


Technology has been one of the key reasons for our success as well. We have developed IPhone apps for cleaning checklists and other forms needed in the field. Our dispatch, scheduling, customer relationship management, and accounting software are all tied together with our field service apps. Its all web 2.O hosted software that we can use anywhere. Our systems make it really easy to keep up with the hundreds of clients we have built relationships with in the last 3 years, said Matt Ricketts the President and Chief Experience Officer of Better Life Maids.


As of now Better Life Maids will be expanding along side Better Life into new markets. They are planning an aggressive expansion that includes franchising in new markets, and expanding company owned units when appropriate. The combined marketing efforts of the two brands of Better Life and Better Life Maids, appears to be a first of its kind in the green product and service sector, with a service brand directly supporting the efforts of a household product line. We wanted to create a partnership that really strengthened our consumers affinity for Better Life. We wanted to create something really unique that had the potential to educate, and introduce people to the Better Life brand. Better Life Maids was a natural extension, and compliments our grass roots efforts to build a name brand in green household cleaning that people can trust and count on, said Tim Barklage.

Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic Launches National Record-A-Thon

Princeton, NJ (Vocus) April 15, 2010

During the latter half of April, thousands of volunteers across the United States will lend their voices to a unique initiative making books accessible for individuals including students and veterans who cannot read standard print.


The national Record-A-Thon campaign, staged by the nonprofit Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic (RFB&D), is a 'tour de force' of volunteerism, philanthropy, and community engagement. At RFB&D's recording studios throughout the country, volunteer readers will log extra hours at the microphone to transform printed textbooks into easy-to-navigate audio books enabling hundreds of thousands of people with visual and learning disabilities to achieve educational success.


"For years, local RFB&D units around the country have conducted their own successful Record-A-Thons, notes Andy Malavsky, RFB&D's Chief Marketing Officer. "Now we are raising the bar on a national level, mobilizing thousands of volunteers to record more books, generate funds, and escalate public attention toward millions of individuals with learning differences and their potential to flourish from kindergarten to graduate school and beyond.


At numerous RFB&D studios, Record-A-Thon volunteers will join forces with an array of celebrities, local authors, civic leaders and businesses. At RFB&D's Northern California Unit in Palo Alto, ESPN commentator and former NFL quarterback Steve Young will visit, along with Congresswoman Anna Eshoo and children's author Ellen Klages. The Chicago Loop studio will welcome Congressman Danny Davis, Alderman Ed Burke and Chicago Teachers Union president Marilyn Stewart; while the Denver facility will host Colorado State Senator Linda Newell, author Helen Thorpe, and several well-known local TV news anchors. The New York City studio recently enjoyed a visit from former presidential adviser Vernon Jordan, while RFB&D's Cambridge facility will be graced with readers from the Junior League of Boston, Bank of America, and employees of many other area corporations.
