Hi
Me and my wife are really bouncing the idea of a different concept of laundry services. The idea became after talking with a someone who complained about local drop stores because of the finishing, sometimes damaging/loosing his garments..and he has some quite expensive pieces.
This would be a "like-at-home" laundry service where garments are cared for manually, using traditional tables and hand irons. Our product would be oriented to clients who look for a higher level of service and care and appreciate the use of better quality supplies (hangers, wrappers, etc) in accordance to the type of garment.
More specialized services like Dry Cleaning would be outsourced in the beginning, making sure to pick the best quality provider we can, not focusing in price as the main driver.
We are thinking in a non-retail location(lower rent) and bring in the majority of our business via advertising and referral, servicing mainly by courtesy pickup and delivery. This will help us not have to be open 12 hrs a day reducing payroll cost.
Our prices will be set in correspondence to this type of service, so significantly higher than a typical drop store.
What I need is you guys to poke holes into my idea and tell me why you think it won't work.
Thank you all very much in advance.
