(we used Google+ Hangouts to connect)

United Linen TV: Birthday, Bagged Towels and @Twit4restos

Today we help Nancy Cranor celebrate her 51st birthday.  She didn't have to give it up, but being the trooper that she is, hey, it's just another number to add to the win column.  She is the VP of IT here at United Linen & Uniform Services and has been with us for 32, going on 33 years.  That's a tremendous amount of napkins, tablecloths and uniforms she has helped push through the system over the years.  

Today we are also rolling out the bagged towel concept that we introduced you to not too long ago.  We are rolling this out to all of you who take grill towels and shop towels.  This is a tremendous way to help keep the towels clean in transport and during storage as well as a number of other advantages.  But we would like to hear from you on this.  If you have likes/dislikes/concerns about the bagged towel program, we would like to hear them.

Lastly, Lara Dickson (@twit4restos) has come out with a great little ebook that I think restaurants are going to find very, very helpful regarding setting up a Twitter account and how to use Twitter to increase traffic to your restaurant.

As always, feel free to leave comments and criticisms below.

United Linen TV: Thursday, Feb 11, 2010 Hugs

Man, the problem with shooting video first thing in the morning is the puffy eyes.  Hate that!

The article I was referring to in the video above is from a Brains on Fire blog post and you can find the article here.  It makes the point that human connections are becoming fewer and fewer as we connect via electronic means (mobile phone, IM, video, computer, spocial (correction: social) networks, etc).

I would concur with the Brains on Fire post that we need to take the extra effort to shake hands, rub elbows with our friends and break bread around a table with friends and family (just as long as you have a tablecloth and napkins from United Linen on your table :-)  JK

I want your comments.  We need your comments.  If you like this post, please share it with your friends and family and the jerk in the cubicle next to you.

Make a connection,

Scott and the amazing United Linen Team

The New and Improved United Linen blog

I can't believe it, but September marks the 1 year anniversary of The United Linen Blog.   The time has gone by so quickly and you guys have been so cool to follow along.  (I'll save the review of this blog for an upcoming post.)

Today I am excited to share with you a product we have added to our blog, the Odiogo application, that turns text to speech.  The first time I saw this used was with the SodexoCareers blog, where Arie Ball was the Guest Blogger, and was impressed with the application's ability to,

    (1) Turn text into speech, and,

    (2) Turn our blog into a podcast, allowing our readers to take us with them where ever they go.

So now, you the reader, no longer need to rely on your computer or mobile device to read the blog.  You can now have the blog read to you while you are in your car, on a walk or, anywhere.

Let us know how you like this new feature.  You can add your thoughts, ideas and comments in the Comments section below.

The Wall Street Journal...Who Would Have Thought

Just out of the blue I get an email from Shel Israel, the author of the book Twitterville, giving me a heads up that the Wall Street Journal would be getting in touch with us regarding our use of Twitter to reach our customers.

And sure enough, I spoke with Sarah Needleman, who writes for the Wall Street Journal and we had a nice, brief conversation.  So I'm thinking the article will have a little blurb in there somewhere about United Linen.  Great.  Very cool.

Then Sarah emails me in a day or two and says she would like a picture to go along with the article.  Wow.  A picture.  So we submit a picture.

At this point I'm still thinking this is going to show up only in their online edition of the WSJ.

You can imagine my amazement when, on Tuesday morning, on page 5 of the Marketplace section of the WSJ is my big mug next to a picture of a guy named Gary Vaynerchuk.

I am very grateful to Shel Israel for suggesting the reporter get in touch with us and I am very grateful for the use of our picture to go along with the article.  Thank you.
