Believe it or not, we actually do a decent amount of details in the winter. You need to offer a winter special of some sort and it will bring people to you.

Dealer acounts are always good too.

Like I said, make winter specials. Give them a good price for the winter. Offer something like cheap prices on an interior and exterior package or even offer up a monthly package were they could buy it and then come every month for a cleaning.

I keep busy through the winter , most of my regular customers realize that their car needs the most protection in the winter. I get a few new customers or one timers when the snow melts and all the salt is stuck to the cars. Honestly I`d have to say the only part of my business that slows down in the winter is the pressure washing and thats becasue I shut it down in December and don`t start up again until Feb-March.
