I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and talk about some of the ways I'm going to be able to bring you, the professional detailer, more customers and more profit.
About myself and Detailed Image:
My name is George Dushensky, one of the owners of
Detailed Image. Probably like many of you, I started out as a enthusiast who became extremely passionate about automotive detailing. I began detailing for friends and family while I was in college and made some great money on the side. I had a great position in a small internet company, but always wanted to be my own boss, so I took the plunge and started Detailed Image. Our second month in operation we had 28 of 30 days booked for details. Concurrently, we were selling products that we used in details and our website began to take off. Last year, we shifted gears and parted with our service side of things to focus on supplying auto detailing enthusiasts and professionals through our website. About the same time we decided to sell our service side of the business, we merged with a web consulting company. This gave us a much better understanding about how the web works, how to drive relevant traffic to sites, and gave us a couple full time programmers to help develop, maintain and upgrade our websites. Earlier this year we moved into a significantly larger warehouse, which is giving us the opportunity to quickly expand our product offerings. When I contacted David about sponsoring Autopia, he mentioned that there was the opportunity to sponsor the Pro Detailer Section. This quickly grabbed my attention for a number of reasons. I felt that helping other Pro Detailers (and entrepreneurs) would not only encompass my knowledge about detailing, but also as being a business owner. I thought that it would be very rewarding helping others grow and succeed in their businesses, so I took the plunge on the sponsorship.
How can Detailed Image help YOU? Exclusive Pro Detailer Pricing
The first thing that I'd like to offer to all of the Pro Detailers is the opportunity to join our
Pro Detailer Program. When accepted into our program, we offer you exclusive pricing on everything we sell on our site (
www.DetailedImage.com). We want to start off on the right foot so every new account gets aggressive pricing tier, in hopes that we can develop a long lasting relationship between you and your business. To get an idea where you will start off, check our homepage for the Daily Special and expect to receive at least that level of discount on that particular item as your everyday pricing. Lower pricing on your products means more profit for you and your business!
Lots of Exposure and Qualified Leads
So you probably want to know how we can get you more exposure? Detailed Image sponsors a number of automotive car forums and websites that receives millions of visitors a month. Quite often, members PM us looking for a qualified professional to work on their vehicle. If I get a chance to view your work and it is of high quality, I'd be happy to promote you whenever I can. This is just one way we can help, the next way, which is even more beneficial to you and Detailed Image requires a little more work. We're willing to put up a bio page of your services on our website, which will include some information about yourself, your business, and your area. The reason the area is important is because we can help draw in search engine traffic when people search for, “detailer in Your City and/or State”. Even if you have a website of your own doing that, having a second website come up with your services means that your competition gets bumped further down the search engines and builds more credibility for your business. Take this one step further, we will work with you on publishing articles, click and brags, how-tos, and much more. Every time you help us with something, you get a link back to your bio page and/or website which drives more traffic and makes your website stronger in ranking. We can also help you get listed in automotive detailing directories, guide you on marketing plans, assess your current detailing routine, recommend places for advertising materials, help optimize your website and much more.
How do I sign up for the Pro Detailer Program?
I uploaded the application in our section in the new Autopia Marketplace. Simply visit the
Detailed Image Directory Page and click on the "Documents" tab and download the application. Scroll down towards the bottom of the first page to see how to submit your application. There's a few questions I'm looking for answers to, which should only take a few minutes to complete. There is also more information about the program in the document.
Don't be shy!
I'm here to do what I can to help your business take off. Please do not hesitate to give me your feedback on how we run our business and how we can make this relationship better for both of us. I'd like to know what products you're using, what products you'd like to try, ideas on sale items, etc. We're quickly expanding into new product lines and would like to tailor our decisions to the pro detailer audience. If you have any questions about anything, please do not hesitate to contact me via PM or e-mail. I look forward to becoming an active member of the community and getting to know everyone.
Excited to be here,
George Dushensky
