A Marketing Idea.....

**BLUELINE 1** · 03-29-2006, 08:03 PM

If I could make 2 suggestions.First, would be to use the areas of the box that are open(no card holders etc) to display some thumb nail before/after pictures of your work.It gives people and idea of what their vehicle will look like if they win(little do they know,they all win).Second,add a line for their email address so you can contact them when you are running a special

.
More great ideas! Before and after thumb nails.

The one i always liked and will be trying soon is set up those boxes, and have one at your own store/rig. When people come in they can put there buisness cards in and at the end of the month pick on or 2 and give a free detail. People love it becasue all they do is drop a card in. It already has a name and number to call them and they have to fill nothing out.

I talked to the guys at the barber shop I go to (that services mostly folks in my neighborhood/area) and they`re going to let me set up a box in their place. Considering the type of people that live around here, I should end up getting quite a bit of business from relatively new cars out of it

So any ideas on what to give out? $15 off any service or what? My cheapest service is $20 which is a Wash-n-Vac

**Tex Star Detail** · 03-30-2006, 10:28 PM

I put $20 off. I hand wrote "full detail only".

Or you can do "excludes XXXXXX"

Good Idea

I think what I`m going to do is either a percentage off (since I don`t charge flat rates for details) or say "free full service hand wash with the purchase of a full detail package" with a disclaimer that it`s only good for one month after the date the full detail is performed....

My offer is 15$ off a full detail only. I put mine in a very busy mexican restaraunt. The owner of the restaraunt is one of my customers. We`ll see if i get any bites.

by the way, thanx texastb for the great idea!
