In Calgary, sidewalks aren’t just public walkways — they’re part of your customer experience.
When snow and ice pile up outside your storefront or office, the message is clear:
❌ “We’re not ready for business.”
Here’s why that can seriously hurt your reputation — and how to prevent it.
1. Customers Judge Before They Walk In
• First impressions start at the curb.
• Slippery or snow-covered sidewalks signal neglect.
• People are less likely to enter a business they can’t access safely.
2. Accessibility Matters (Especially in Winter)
• Seniors, parents with strollers, and people with mobility issues struggle on icy walkways.
• A blocked sidewalk = lost customers.
• Clear access shows you care about all clients.
3. Negative Reviews and Word of Mouth
• No one writes, “They had a clean sidewalk” — but they’ll mention a dangerous one.
• Online reviews often include details about the overall experience.
• A bad entry experience = fewer stars and fewer returns.
4. Legal & Insurance Problems
• Calgary bylaws require sidewalks to be cleared within 24 hours of snowfall.
• Failing to comply can lead to complaints and fines.
• Worst-case: injury claims that cost your business big time.
5. It Reflects on Your Brand
• Clean sidewalk = clean business.
• If a client feels unsafe outside, it’s hard to earn their trust inside.
• Snow removal is part of your brand image — whether you realize it or not.
