Seeking the perfect shine
What's up guys and gals? I'm pretty new here, as I'm sure you can tell from my join date and my number of posts. I got referred over here by the Jngrbrdman.
A good friend of mine and I are pretty well known by our friends how "anal" we are about our cars' finishes. Just recently, we decided to take a leap into a semi-professional venture of detailing cars on the weekends for some extra cash.
Neither of us are sure how big this venture will get, but we're keeping an open mind. Really, if we only get enough details to pay for our equipment and supplies we invested in, I'll be satisfied. Well, not to say that I wouldn't love to make this into a venture where we both can make some good money....just saying that if it doesn't reach that level, I'm not going to be devestated. We alredy have 4 or so full details lined up with friends and one of my relatives.
My question is this: How did most of you promote your business? How do you set yourselves apart from other detailers in your area? I realize that return customers are the basis for any mobile detialing business, but all those return customers were NEW customers at one time. How'd you get the new ones? I've read about a few good ideas of promotion on here, and was hoping that possibly some of you could throw some more my way. I just feel like once we get a few customers, word of mouth will be a big help.
We're new to the use of the PC 7424. Neither of us have used one. I've been researching quite a bit, though. I have one on the way, and look forward to trying it. So, can any of you lead me to some fairly in-depth literature on it's use(s) and techniques?
