It's no secret that people are becoming busier and busier. Juggling work and family demands, commute time, household chores and leisure activities can be quite stressful. Many people find that there is little time to meet all the demands placed on their time. Because the laundry tends to pile up, many laundromats are using this as opportunity to expand their service offerings. Some laundromats are taking the laundry drop-off service a step further by offering companion services in-house as well.

Choosing to add drop-off laundry service to your laundromat adds extra value and creates an entirely new customer base for your business. Existing customers will love having the option to drop off their clothes on those busy weekends rather than spend their Saturday in the laundromat. New customers will love having convenient drop-off service and the ability to use large capacity washers and dryers for their infrequent washing of big or bulky items.
Many laundromats choose to take their services a step further and include pickup and delivery of their customers's laundry. See our previous post on things to consider when you want to add drop-off service to your laundromat. While this is a premium service, more and more laundry owners report that customers are taking advantage of pickup and delivery than ever before.
So why would customers like drop-off laundry service? There are a few reasons, actually. Most customers say that they would rather pay someone to wash, dry and fold their clothes. Customers are also attracted to the idea that having a laundry professional clean, dry and fold their clothes for them will actually save them money and protect their clothes. We have all done it, ruined a garment because we accidentally washed a dry clean only item in the washing machine. Customers like to be able to hand over laundry and have it professionally sorted, pre-treated and laundered.
Laundromats that offer wash, dry and fold service typically have a short turn around window. Most guarantee that they will have your clothes ready within 24 hours. Before adding this service to your business, consider the staffing demands and policies that will need to be put in place to make it successful. Don't just limit your wash, dry and fold services to residential customers, consider businesses you could partner with as well. Servicing restaurant linens, spa towels and sports teams are all added value services for your business.
