You’ve built a new car wash, now it’s time to drive traffic to your site. A successful marketing plan can leverage your offerings, attract customers and keep them coming back.
Today’s operators have many tools at their disposal to help promote a car wash, from social media to billboards to smartphone apps. Here’s a few simple ideas to help grow your business from the ground up.
An Awesome Opening
A grand opening event can help set the tone of your new business and build exposure. On the day of the grand opening event, host a barbeque or open up the property to guests in some other way, like hosting an ice cream truck. Create fun incentives, like a raffle where the grand prize is a book of free car washes, or even free car washes for a year!
Build Your Brand
A well-defined brand creates recognition and trust with current and perspective customers. To help built authenticity, consistency with signs, marketing materials and more helps to create a strong, uniform message.
Get Online
A website helps customers find you. A Google search is often the first place perspective customers go to find out where a company is located and what they offer.
Add yourself to every online directory you can find. It’s easy to set up a profile on platforms like Google + and it will allow perspective customers to find you, read reviews and maybe even add one of their own.
Everyone is on social media these days. It’s a great way to get your message out instantly, whether you’re offering a promotion or touting a new and improved service. It’s a great way to engage with customers, and the more you use your social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter, the more authenticity you’ll build.
