Hospitality Industry Orders on the Rise for Sun & Earth

Over the past few months, we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of hotels, B&B's, and extended stays placing orders for Sun & Earth's natural cleaning products (http://www.sunandearth.com). These businesses are ordering just about everything we make (diswasher detergent, dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent, all purpose cleaner, glass cleaner). It's a great thing to witness! But, at the same time...puzzling. Why now? Why Sun & Earth? The only certainty I have at this point is this...I have been told by the General Manager of a major multinational hotel chain that our laundry detergent extends the life of linens. Linens, in the hospitality industry, is an enormous expense. I wonder what else is driving these companies to buy our products. Performance? Results? Natural goodness? Price? Over the next couple of months, we'll be gathering this data. It'll be interesting to see the different reasons.

Social Media Networking: The Value for Small Business

It is challenging for King of Prussia-based Sun & Earth, a 20-year old natural cleaning products manufacturer, to measure the impact the digital media (sites like twitter, facebook, and YouTube) has on the organization. There are ways, if you have the resources and an understanding of these "tools". At this point, S&E is becoming increasingly knowledgeable in social media with tremendous support and assistance from friend Sara F. (of Chester County Moms) and the guidance of friend Dave Almacy (of Edelman). Larger organizations have teams of workers dedicated to identifying influential digital media "resources" and by utilizing the reach of these "resources" are able to remain/become relevant and ultimately influence/affect the experiences/decisions of the consumer.

Sun & Earth, with tremendous support from Sarah, our Digital Technology/Social Media Liaison (who works for less than 10 ounces per hour of our All Purpose Cleaner...an unbelievable bargain) has made tremendous strides over the past few months recognizing and utilizing the value and excitement of the social media with its ever-increasing "fan" base.
