Even though there are a lot of businesses offering laundromat services, we add the value of premium quality services at competitive rates.

One of the best methods of advertising is through word of mouth. We are still planning a newspaper ad campaign.

However, we intend to market our services through a referral system. Where 2 free washes are awarded to any person who refers another to patronize us. Also, any referred new client is given an introductory free wash.

Another attractive factor will be the clean environment, friendly and prompt services and needless to say reliable machines we will be using.
