Startups And Rebrands with Shelter Ready!
3 APR 2024 · The best businesses have three main components: Solve a problem, offer a manageable solution and provide value above what is expected. Local startup Storm Check was launched with this in mind. After initial success, the founders recently went through a brand elevation to become Shelter Ready! full-service cleaning and prep. for storm shelters.Â
The decision to rebrand is always a tricky proposition, even more so when a company is only a year old and practically still in startup mode. But it’s worth the effort if the rebrand can make a big enough impact.
Why the change, you ask? We listened to potential customer feedback and realized the previous name, Storm Check, needed clarification. Many mistakenly associated our services with storm shelter installation or storm chasing. We wanted a positive name that clearly conveyed the safety and peace of mind provided to families who utilize a storm shelter during severe weather. Shelter Ready! is embracing a brand identity that speaks directly to the core of what they do: preparing your shelter for whatever Mother Nature may bring.
We also simplified the service packages from three tiers to one, reflecting our dedication to streamlining the customer experience. Now, with just one click, you can access comprehensive storm shelter cleaning and preparedness services conveniently available through the new and improved website https://cleanmyshelter.com/.
As part of our rebranding efforts, we’ve also refreshed our logo, opting for an umbrella symbol to represent shelter from the storm—a universal symbol of protection and safety. This new branding is visually appealing and reinforces our commitment to protecting your family, pets and neighbors during severe weather events.
The idea started with a conversation about providing opportunities for veterans and helping keep Oklahomans safe during a storm. As residents of Oklahoma, the founders of Shelter Ready! know how important it is to have a safe, clean place to go at a moment’s notice. They are also grateful and proud of the servicemen and women who helped secure our freedom. They aim to employ veterans who have served our country and empower them to become leaders within the company across all levels.

Bold Statement: Improve Any Business with Effectiveness and Efficiency
21 FEB 2024 · We're making a BOLD but true statement today to grab your attention but also offer you an opportunity to improve your business in specific ways that create sustainable success and profitability. The Golding Group can help you do just that. All you have to do is just ask, via this link: https://calendly.com/grow-with-us/fix-my-business
There are two ways to create sustainable profitability in any business: Effectiveness and Efficiency. Both should be pursued simultaneously and continually with focus and consistency. How do you apply these techniques to your business? We're giving you an overview of this podcast today.
• Effectiveness: Get more with the same (or less cost) by doing what you do, just better. Using your budget as well as possible to get the outcomes you're looking for.
• Efficiency: Doing more with less effort or cost. Reducing waste, increasing speed, reducing sales or production cycles and creating opportunities for new or repeat business (most profitable).
This episode will explain more about what these terms mean and how to apply them, but I can't tell you everything on the podcast. That's what professional consultations are for, so I can tailor that information to each business scenario. We will work through specifics with you when we meet to discuss your business. Click the special link above to schedule your FREE half-hour conversation. Let's work together to make your business a success. It’s essential to assess each business’s unique operations and identify specific pain points or areas of improvement to tailor the strategies accordingly. Regular monitoring, measurement and continuous improvement efforts are essential to ensure sustained effectiveness and efficiency gains.
