One of the busiest times for any laundry business is during a season change. Many families will begin the spring or fall season by changing out their closets with season appropriate clothes. This means they are more likely to visit a vended laundry facility. Many will come to do their extra laundry to keep from being overwhelmed at home. They may also have larger items they need to launder. In the spring they will exchange heavy winter items for lighter clothing. This means heavy coats and outerwear will need to be cleaned for proper storage. Many people will also want to do their bedding such as comforters, flannel sheets, and blankets. Some people will also do this in the fall/winter months as well. Want a free quote on a new vended dryer or commercial washer in Charleston SC? Call T & L!
Either of these times can be a great time for a grand re-opening of your laundromat. The idea of “Spring Cleaning” invokes various ideas for different people, however. Many use this time to do home maintenance and refurbishing. Pulling them into your laundry facility may be a little harder if you plan your grand re-opening at this time of the year. It won’t be impossible, but you will need to use some really good marketing and promotion skills. If your facility needs a good “spring clean” itself, we have some good tips for you.
Begin by taking a really good look around your facility. We recommend you begin by giving the laundromat a good cleaning. Start at the ceilings and work your way down to the floors. Clean the walls and light fixtures. The floors likely need a good cleaning as well. Once you have thoroughly cleaned you will have a good idea of what repairs and broken items need to be addressed. Paint is a cheap but effective way to update the overall look of your business. This can also be a good time to replace the floors if tiles are stained and broken. Check your lighting and replace burned out bulbs and clean them well.
Address the restrooms in your laundry facility. Most will need some TLC. Paint and new flooring are needed here as well. Make sure your storage area for supplies and tools is adequate. Develop a system for keeping toilet paper, paper towels, and other supplies stocked at all times. Customers appreciate a clean, well-stocked environment. This will keep them coming back to your facility.
Last, but certainly not least, take a good look at the outside of your store. The storefront is the first chance you get to make a good impression. Don't forget to focus on windows and doors. Make sure your storefront is clean and has good lighting and signage.
