Why buy Custom Logo Mats when you can rent mats from a service?  I am so glad you asked.  We will BUST 6 Myths about floor mat rental that will convince you it is better to own.

MYTH:  Floor mat rental is more convenient than owning floor mats.
FACT:  Floor mat rental includes a service agreement which can range from weekly, bi-monthly or monthly contracts.  Alternatively, businesses that own floor mats generally clean floor mats daily, based on their needs.

MYTH:  One type and size of floor mat fits all customer needs.
FACT:  One disadvantage of renting a floor mat is that there are limited number of sizes that aren't adequate for the job.  When clients purchase floor mats, they can be customized not only in size, but in material as well, which boosts their safety factor.  Rental companies want to buy large quantities of plain mats without logos so they are interchangeable from one location to the next.  They don't specialize in custom, branded flooring solutions.

MYTH:  Rental mats trap dirt and moisture.
FACT:  While rental mats work better when they are new, they lack solid construction and smart engineering of high performance mats you purchase on behalf of your clients.  This leads to material breakdown through the course of rental and service, and over time, they flatten out, resulting in tracked-in dirt and water runoff.  High-performance mats that are purchased last a lot longer thane their rental counterparts.

MYTH:  Mat rental is cheaper than buying new.
FACT:  Over time, mat rental is considerable more expensive than ownership.  Renting one 3'x5' mat can cost nearly $800 over a five-year period - compare this to the cost on one high-performance  mat of the same size, which costs $250 and will last the same amount of time, if not longer.

MYTH:  There are not benefits to purchasing and owning your own mats.
FACT:  Purchased mats are cheaper, higher quality, and designed to last for years.  With our line of high-quality custom logo mats, you can customize appearance, function and purpose, providing a great branding opportunity for your customers.

MYTH:  All rental mats are delivered in excellent shape and are perfectly cleaned.
FACT:  Due to frequent service intervals, mats in rental programs can vary considerably in structure and appearance with each change.  This can result in subpar appearance and safely hazards.  Buying mat will ensure that a high-quality image is used and your customer's brand looks good for years to come.

With so much on your plate every day, purchasing floor mats for your entryways probably isn’t high on your list of priorities, but we believe it should be. Here are five reasons why custom logo mats make good business sense:

1. Branding exposure. When you use custom logo mats for your business entryways, your message is in front of every person who comes through your doors, every day. And, people notice what’s on floor mats – studies have shown that 64% of retail shoppers stop and notice what’s on the floor mats beneath their feet. Your message right at their feet can have a big impact.
2. Increase sales. Added exposure does more than get greater name recognition – it can lead to exciting results for your business’ sales, and at a fraction of the cost of other marketing or advertising efforts. The average cost per impression for custom logo floor mats is 1/10 of one cent. For a business selling retail products, using custom floor mats can lead to an average increase in sales of 13%!
3. More economical than renting. Many owners assume that renting floor mats is a cost-effective alternative to purchasing their own. In reality, a business that purchased five floor mats would spend an average of $620 less than a similar business choosing to rent five floor mats. 
   
   
4. Cleaner floors. When you choose custom entry mats from The Personalized Doormats Company, you’re helping keep your business clean giving everyone who enters a positive impression. Placing custom mats at each entryway for your business will help keep floors and carpets free of dirt, debris and water. Not only will this help your business stay cleaner, it also results in real, measurable financial savings. The average cost to remove one pound of dirt from a retail or commercial building is an astonishing $750! 
5. Increased safety. While safety isn’t the most exciting reason to consider choosing entrance mats, it’s important. Our custom mats reduce the risk that a customer or employee will be injured because they slipped and fell on your floor. The risk reduction and savings implications are huge. Every year, slip and fall accidents send a whopping one million people to hospitals, and 85% of workers compensation claims stem from slip and fall injuries. Reduce your risk with quality logo mats from The Personalized Doormats Company.

Finding your own style and design options for your custom entrance mats is just a few steps away. Visit our website to learn more about all of the available options for your new floor mats.

Try our Berber Style Logomats emblazoned with your school’s name, motto, or mascot to welcome students, staff, and visitors every time they step foot on the premises. These mats can be used indoors as well as outdoors. The mats are made of a tough berber carpeting that resists high foot traffic. The berber carpeting is coated with propylene to prevent water from seeping into the fabric. The edges are tapered to prevent rolling and possible slips and falls. The Berber Style Logomat is built to last.

Designer Vinyl

Do your locker rooms need a personal touch? Football season is here and your players and coaches are in and out of the locker rooms for training, practice, and, of course, home games.

Anti-Fatigue Logomats

These mats provide a soft cushion to ease the shock on the body caused by long periods of standing on hard floors. These mats are slip resistant — perfect for areas where there is a lot of water. The tapered edges prevent falls by keeping the mat from curling. The Anti-Fatigue Logomats can be easily personalized with your school name, mascot, or motto.

Are you ready for the fall season? What is not to love about dipping temperatures, watching the trees change from green to red, and the days starting to get a bit shorter. Just as you bear witness to nature going through cycles of change, your home goes through a similar process. Your home should be prepared for changes in the season — and now is the time to do it while the weather is still warm and sunny. These changes can range from simple aesthetics to serious home improvement work. Are you ready to put in a little elbow grease and protect one of your biggest investments? Here are top 10 ways to get your home ready for fall.

1. Paint the house. If you did not have a chance to paint the house during the summer, now is the time to do it. If you wait too much longer, you risk running into cold weather, rain, and snow making the job much harder. Check out one of our residential door mats to coordinate with your paint color.
2. Complete any lingering landscaping. Are there any hedges or bushes that can be planted during this time of the year? The fall generally represents your last chance to do this kind of work before next spring.
3. Clear your gutters. The beginning of a new season is a great time to clean out those old gutters and make sure they are properly attached to your home. If they are not, you run the risk of creating roof leaks.
4. Seal your windows. Have your windows been winterized? Ensuring that your windows are sealed around the edges can lower your heat and electricity bills.
5. Update your decor. The colors in your home should coincide with the new season. Try more rich, warm colors like gold, red, greens, and blues. You can easily change the color of your drapes, throw pillows, tablecloths, etc.
6. Upgrade your heating system. Call your local HVAC Technician to ensure that your furnace is in working order. The last thing you want is for the first freeze of the season to arrive and find out there is no heat.
7. Check your roof for leaks. Have you ever had to crawl onto a roof during frigid temperatures? Not very fun. Take advantage of the crisp fall weather and check for potential leaks. Call a professional if you need help.
8. Take care of the brick work and/or cracks in the driveway. Once the temperature starts to dip under 40 degrees, it becomes more difficult to do the work.
9. Install a water softening system. Hard water can accumulate in your heating system making it inefficient and costly to maintain.
10. Get a mat for your pet. If the mat you currently have for your pet is looking a bit run down, try one our personalized pet mats.

Businesses beware!

These kinds of slip and fall accidents do occur on occasion and should be taken seriously. This is the reason why businesses are required to carry insurance. However, there are plenty of dishonest people out there that are looking to take advantage of the system and take what they can get — even if they know it is wrong.

Check out liability insurance laws in your state

While liability insurance laws for businesses vary from state to state, it is important to protect your business from insurance claims — either real or false — that can take away from your business in terms of productivity, reputation, as well as income earned.

The Personalized Doormats Company can help you do your part to protect your business from expensive insurance claims. The Personalized Doormats Company is the #1 place for personalized doormats on the internet. We provide a number of options that meet your safety, marketing, and aesthetic needs.

How our logomats prevent slips and falls

How many times have you tripped over an old mat with curled edges? Those curled edges are a definite safety hazard for both the young and old alike. That is why many of our mats feature a tapered edge. The tapered edges prevent slips and falls because they stay flat on the surface, making it less likely for a foot to become caught underneath the mat. You can be rest assured that even in high traffic areas, our logomats with a tapered edge will safely stay put exactly where you place them.

Many of our mats also have a rubberized bottom making them slip resistant. Rubber logomats are perfect for both indoor and outdoor entrances where there is heavy foot traffic. The rubber bottom logomats are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors to suit your needs. Whether you are looking for something you can proudly display in a meeting area, or something that will suit a more industrial environment like factories or kitchens, we have a proper logomat with a rubberized bottom for your business.

A logomat should also look good on your floor. We have many options to display your business logo, name of business, a tag line, photo, or anything else you can imagine to market your business. Many businesses neglect this important detail as they often believe no one is paying the floor any attention. However, a logomat with your marketing signature presents another opportunity for people to remember the name of your business and encourage them to use your services in the future.

At The Personalized Doormats Company, we take our business as seriously as you do. We work hard to meet the needs of your business and welcome the opportunity to answer any of your questions about how one style or more of our mats can make your place of business a bit safer for your customers and employees.
