Wash Someone's Car

Washing someone's car is definitely a very old way to make money. That is why many people ignore this method. But why? Has anyone ever thought about how lucrative this could be for teens who want to pocket some extra cash? Most car washes charge about $10.00 for a regular car wash. If you charge $5.00 per car wash, your customer saves money and therefore will be likely to call you back again for another car wash. This is how it is lucrative. If you do a good job, people will see that they are saving money when you do their car wash, while getting good quality. This gives them a reason to drop their usual car wash service and become a regular customer for you! It is even better if the customer is in your community because they will also save gas! And we all know how much people like to save gas :).

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN REGULAR CUSTOMERS?!

• You need to always be on time to every appointment
• You need to be polite to all your customers and not take criticism badly. Make sure to say "How are you?" to them. This will show that you are a mature young adult instead of just a teenager.
• You MUST do a satisfactory job. This is ESSENTIAL.
• Do not damage their car.
• Show that you appreciate their business
• Keep your prices at a flat rate and try not to change your prices a lot because it will result in some annoyed people
• BE MATURE
• Be efficient. The faster it takes to wash the car, the better. People will be satisfied with your efficency.
• Offer regular discounts, freebies, and mini loyalty rewards

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO GET MORE CUSTOMERS?

• Put some flyers around your community, for starters.
• Word of mouth is a really important tool. If you have satisfied customers, they might even refer a customer to you :)
• Talk to your friends about joining your business and helping you get more customers.
