If you’ve ever watched an episode of the sitcom The Big Bang Theory, you can’t help but notice their apartment elevator wasn’t working. And not just for one or two episodes. Permanently draped with yellow caution tape, this elevator was out of order for the large majority of the show’s successful run! Meanwhile, poor Sheldon, Leonard, Penny and the other characters had to march up multiple flights of stairs on a daily basis.
This permanently broken elevator may have added a little humor and character to this popular TV show. But, in the real world, an “Out of Order” sign on your elevator for days, weeks or months delivers a negative impression to your tenants, customers or employees.
A Broken Elevator Can Quickly Break Your Reputation
If your elevator is out of service, it speaks volumes about your business. Here’s how:
❌ It creates a poor first impression for visitors. Suddenly, professionalism and trust go out the window.
❌ Displaying neglect and lack of care, an inoperable elevator reveals that the business doesn’t prioritize the comfort and convenience of its customers or employees.
❌ It raises concerns about safety and accessibility within the building.
❌ It hints that the business may suffer from other operational deficiencies as well.
❌ It makes your tenants or customers question what other corners you may be cutting.
❌ It can lead to negative reviews and damage your brand’s reputation.
