advertise in the newspaper? does `door to door` work? windshield flyers?

My family also owns a car wash in Mars Hill, NC! I work there and detail on the side haha I recently bought a new car with all the money I saved, if your not into detailing for friends and family I would rethink it!

I would advertise at car washes and build up customer satisfaction! Its all about who you know in any business. I would also talk to a local business like hotels and tell them that you are a local detailer and that if anyone wants a their car cleaned up they can call you! Personally when I see a flyer I get kinda mad if its on my window. That`s just me though.

the hotel idea is a good one.. so far, all of my business has been on craigslist. the owner of a pharmacy called me and had me detail his BMW X5.. he liked my work so well that he then allowed me to detail his all original 67 Shelby Cobra! now i detail all 12 employee vehicles at the pharmacy on a weekly basis. so that is my first `steady` customer base..

a couple of quick things guys

1.) it is against the rules to post your contact information

2.) it sound like you guys have a lot to learn(as do most of us)

3.) I think it would be best for you to spend a little time here reading and leaning and asking questions

4.) there is a ton of info and great detailers here who woud be happy to help you out

Hey, that`s not fair! I was encouraging an alternate pro detailing approach. What`s wrong with thinking outside the box?

Dustin man we`re going to have to talk here soon... Read through the forums as much as you can before you come back to this. You`re making alot of rookie mistakes on here already. No biggie but before the verbal lashing begins just read.
