Dry-Cleaning Pickup &
Delivery
About the business
Are you clothes-minded? Then try to start the
dry-cleaning pickup-and-delivery business. You will provide pickup and drop-off
at some business places or average houses, then follow clothes to a local dry
cleaner to do the actual cleaning.
The advantages of
this business idea
In my opinion, the greatest advantage of this
business is that you would work only like a taxi driver. Imagine that clothes
are your passengers and drive them to dry-cleaning, after get them from there
home. Other advantages are: you’ll get a good money for it, you shouldn’t do
something yourself (except, driving, of course), you could meet new interesting
people – your customers, you mustn’t spend a lot of time for working (it could
be your part-time or seasonal job), you could make this business for your
children (these jobs are so elementary that even kids could make
them).
The disadvantages
of this business idea
Like all businesses, this one have some
disadvantages too. For example, it’s difficult to find the customers. Other
problem is to accept urgent customs. Some of your clients will use your business
because of time-shortage, so you’ll
need to dry their clothes fast. But you know that there are always queues at
cleaning-houses. So in your duties comes to come to terms with one of the local
laundries.
What will you need?
To make this business into real life, you will
two things:
1. A car
2. A wish to develop this
business
If you haven’t own car, you could borrow it
from someone, for example, from your relatives or friends.
But the real difficulty is about the wish. You
could think that you already have it. But wait for a moment and look over the
statements below:
*You know, how to advertise your
business
*You have a time to do this
business
*You are ready to get over all hard
times
*You are cheerful, bright, vivid, and
sociable
*You like to talk to
people
If all the statements are about you, then
CONGRADULATIONS! You are ready to open a pickup-and-delivery business. Remember,
you should not only have all these, also you have to use them.
Who will use your
services?
Your services will use businessmen (who always
haven’t time to do something themselves), business corporations (who haven’t got
any employees for doing this sort of work), lonely men (who haven’t wife for
cleaning their clothes) and stay-at-home moms (because they haven’t possibility
to leave children and go to laundry).
How much does it
cost?
Below are the approximate average prices of
Laundry and Dry Cleaning services. Plus the custom dry
cleaning bag requires a $5 refundable deposit.
