Often their decision is based simply on the fact that \u201ceveryone seems to be doing it\u201d or \u201cthe motorists want it, so I\u2019ll do it\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the customer side, what is he asking for? Detailing? Waxing? Shampooing? Most often the operator doesn\u2019t know what the customer wants because the customer himself does not know.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Industry statistics indicate that more than 80% of the motoring public does not know what auto detailing is. And that more than 90% have never purchased this service. So how can they really articulate what it is they want?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0While this subject could be further expanded upon, it should suffice for purposes of this article to indicate that many operators have made a decision to enter the detail business without sufficient knowledge about the market. They should take care about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Difference between wholesale auto detailing and retail auto detailing.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Too many operators have entered the auto <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedcarwash.com\/blog\/best-car-detailing-business-opportunity-2019-for-entrepreneurs\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">detail business<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> without awareness that there is a difference between wholesale and retail auto detailing and exactly what the difference is. Or, if the difference is really important.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, there is a difference. A night and day difference between these forms of detailing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wholesale detailing as it has been for several years is that form of detailing done by a private contractor for an auto dealer. The dealer, in most cases, does not care where the work is done, who the employees are or what they look like. As a result, detailing of this type is done most of the time in garages, warehouses, lean-tos, or any other low rent place that would facilitate 2 or 3 cars. In summary, the wholesale business while requiring a clean car, does not emphasize the \u201csizzle\u201d that goes along with the clean car, that is, the look of professionalism, competence, and capability. The retail business does!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>No Website &amp; how to get business (No online presence)<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes what happens is some people open the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.speedcarwash.com\/franchise-business\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">franchise<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or start their own business without an online presence.

Of course, choosing the correct merchandising plan relates back to having proper marketing information. Without the information, how can you decide what to sell and at what price? Many operators simply do what the other guy does. Why?\u00a0 Who says he is correct? Maybe he is priced too high. Or too low. Maybe price has nothing to do with it. Possibly the customer doesn\u2019t understand the services. To determine the proper merchandising approach for a given area requires a look at the demographics of the area, evaluation of what other successful shops are doing, and interviews with friends, customers, etc. To develop a service and price menu without this information will lead to failure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speed car wash offers consulting and training, so if you are interested, reach out to us and we&#8217;ll follow up.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Success in the detail business is not based on just one thing, but on a series of interrelated factors To make it simple, the following is a checklist of all the possible reasons operators are experiencing problems rather than successes: &nbsp;
