Re: winter biz specials

I actually have a bit of a special for winter protection package and upkeep. Basically it's 20% off my standard protection packages and I also give a little bit of a discount on reconditioning packages.

Thank you for the feedback! I was thinking about offering packages like buy 5 get one for my entry service... Then I was going to offer a winter protection special that would include a in-depth cleaning on the interior and exterior with an application of Collinite. Any thoughts?

Re: winter biz specials

Can't really help you since details happen no matter what the time of year it is in SoCal. The weather does that for ya

I don't bother to do any specials since no one really knows what winter really is here lol

Re: winter biz specials

Anyone do like a buy 5 get one on washes? Also, anyone do yearly contracts with people? Someone asked me about it and I wanted to see if any of you were doing it. The one I heard of included a thorough cleaning once a month and 2 details a year, but not correction.... Anyone hear of something like this or do it?

Re: winter biz specials

One thing that surprised me, is a few of my high end clients have contacted me to do full details on their college age kids' cars while they are home for break. I already have a few full details lined up for December that belong to college kids.
