In the retail industry, it is important to “set the stage” attractively to encourage shoppers to make an initial visit, complete a purchase and make a return visit. Sometimes, retailers forget that their parking lots need to be included in painting an appealing picture of their stores. If the exterior is in poor condition, many potential customers assume that the interior will not be in any better shape — and therefore, the quality of the merchandise might be suspect.
Fortunately, it is not difficult to enhance the curb appeal of a retailer’s parking lot. All it takes is proper maintenance. Best of all, the maintenance will help protect the investment in an expensive asset — the parking lot.
• Repair
Damaged asphalt is not attractive. Parking lot crack repair need to be filled before they cause additional damage, such as potholes or crocodile cracking.
• Seal
When you are sealcoating in Atlanta remember this protects asphalt from damaging UV rays and makes it easier to remove oil, brake fluid, coolant and transmission fluid leaks that can accelerate asphalt deterioration. It also gives the pavement a more even, darker color to improve appearance.
• Paint
Freshly painted parking space lines and other pavement markings can go a long way to increasing the appearance of a parking lot. They can also help protect the business from potential liabilities by clearly defining crosswalks, traffic direction, loading zones and other areas of importance.
• Clean
Puddles of oil or other automotive fluids are more than just a parking lot eyesore. The fluids can be tracked into the store, or customers might slip and fall. Automotive fluids can also damage asphalt pavement. It is therefore important to remove them as soon as possible. Although sealcoating slows the rate at which these fluids will reach the asphalt, they will eventually eat through the sealcoating if left untreated.
