- Market Outlook / Competition
- Currently serving Northern VA which is a high income area. We are able to keep busy with little to no ads. We have an email list of past/potential clients of around 2k and 1-2 e-mail blasts per month will get us almost fully booked on most months. There are other mobile detailers in the area but none that have been in business as long and trusted by the community like us. We have a long standing 4.9 star rating on Google.
- Opportunities for Growth
- You can easily expand this business by offering the services beyond Northern VA, by adding more units/crews or by advertising. We cracked the code on FB ads for ceramic coatings last year and the months we ran the ad we had a 5-10x return on ad spend!
