How to set up a car detailing business

The problem that new car detailing businesses face is that they don't have a good resource for new customers. What they don't realize is they have access to most of the people selling their cars in their city, for free, instantly. This is for sure the case with a great number of new businesses and just as much the same in the case of car detailing businesses, large and small. This is for sure a hard type of business to be in and grow also.

Craigslist is now the busiest marketplace for selling used cars in the world. It's free, easy to search, and there is a massive inventory of cars for sale by owners and dealers there. Also on Craigslist is an automotive services section. Gumtree is much the same given the very way this works in a portal-like manner and the ways you can be sure to find unlimited services for your business. If you can post a professional looking advertisement they're introducing yourself, your services, and your prices, you're guaranteed to get some phone calls and e-mails. What's important is that you provide specific reasons why your car detailing service is better than the others. You need to remember this given the number of firms in this line of business.

Most detailers there emphasize their low prices, but this approach is flawed. The problem with selling on price alone is that the customer perceives your work to be of lesser quality. For an owner of a Ferrari or another type of sports car they will look out for more than just price. What will they be paying for? What will the price include? What will the overall terms of business? All of these aspects need to be looked at. For some people they will want to spend more to be sure they are getting the right overall level of service. 

Instead, emphasize the quality of your service. Describe your detailing process in detail. Write a short biography about your professional car detailing experience. Specifically name the equipment that you own and the products that you use. You need to do all of this and more to be sure your offering of car detailing is seen in the right light to others. If you have photos of your work, displaying these photos is extremely influential and a fab way to show off just how great the work is that your are trying to sell and advertise to others.
