United Linen TV: Mother's Day and Bagged Towels

In today's installment of United Linen TV, we added a camera to let you see Robin Black instead of just hearing him off-camera. You never know what Robin's going to say, so this should add an interesting twist to the vlog. In this episode, we talk about Ree Drummond's Pioneer Woman Cookbook (love the egg-in-the-hole- recipe), how to get ready for Mother's Dan and Memorial Day as well as more information on the new bagged towel concept we've rolled out to all our customers. If you'll notice at the top, this is the first time we have tried to use the LIKE button from Facebook. We'll see how it goes and make a determination later if we want to keep it. Any thoughts along these lines would be greatly appreciated.



As alwyays, we encourage you to visit with us, and share your thoughts feelings, ideas suggestions and criticisms in the Comments section below.

p.s. if any of you know Ree Drummond and can put in a good word for us, that would be tremendous.

 

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: Thoughts on Foursquare

So what's a linen company doing talking about Foursquare?

United Linen is very concerned with helping our customers be successful. And as we come across products and ideas that we think could help your business, we want to pass those things along to you.  So even though we are in the table linen and uniform business, we are also in the business of helping our customers succeed.

For example, there is much talk about the new Geo-location apps like Foursquare, Gowalla, MyTown, Yelp, Whrrl and Loopt (and others), but how does a restaurant/retail store apply these tools to help their business?

All this week we will be talking about how restaurants/retail stores can utilize these social media tools to drive traffic, increase revenue and generate buzz for your business.

Also, we mentioned a couple of blogs,
