For sure! But also think about your unique selling points. What can you offer that they don’t?
Choosing the right location could really make a difference. A busy shopping plaza or near offices might attract more customers than a secluded area.
Exactly! Plus, marketing to the target audience—like busy workers—could increase usage rates.
I wonder how much initial capital is required for this setup? Is it mainly equipment costs or are there other hidden expenses to consider?
Great question! Beyond equipment, think about water sources, utilities, and ongoing maintenance. These can add up!
Just remember: don’t skimp on quality! If the car wash doesn’t work well, you might lose potential repeat customers. Good service is key!
