Effective way to just have 3-4 customers PER MONTH?

I wouldn't mind more in the summer, but I'd like to do just one a weekend during school. What's an effective way to market myself, as I really don't need to pick up TOOOO many customers?

Market urself as usual. But decline bookings if you get too many calls. Try and book customers a week or two in advance. That way you are always doing 1 car every week.

If you start getting a lot of calls then increase the prices a tad.

Well I don't have an "as usual". I haven't done any detailing professionally for at least a year. I'd like to start getting some customers again, but I'm not sure a good approach.

Just pass those other customers on to me

price higher - less clients in some cases - but more profits in others

book yourself out 2 months ahead of time and give confirmation calls two weeks prior and if someone cancels, have a waiting list....

Hire some help and knock out more in the same time...

Great advice, I'll keep that in mind.
