Remember to look out for nearby competitors if you have any. they can improve your business and also crush it. personally i think you should diversify your business. i.e. beside laundry service, what other service can you offer to your customers. if it is a neighborhood oriented. will you offer pick up or delivery for the laundry as long as it is just around the corner la.

Promotion is also an essential thing you have to plan properly in order kick start your laundry business. create an easy to remember name or slogan for your business. logo or mascot can also boost some attention to your business. just be creative. don't do what other people do already.

when your business going steady already..you can offer discount card for students and 'silai' a.k.a housewives. like 5% discount or something. we all know people likes discount.

well, that's just my opinion. just keep in mind the 4 P's in marketing strategy - Price, Promotion, Place and Product. set your target on each of them and equip yourself with some basic knowledge in business law will be a addon.

i will keep what u just said in mind....thanx a lot. it helps

In UIA, u using coin operated or there's a laundry outlet

Added on December 13, 2007, 3:55 pmhope for a respond

bro, in UIA there are only coin-operated-washing-machine.
for a circle of wash, the charge is rm2.
and for the dry-machine, another rm2 is needed.
im not sure how many kg is the capacity of the machine,
but the problem is both machines only accept 50cent coins.

so, ppl hv to find so many 50cent coins in order to use it.
but the demand is high. I wonder how much is the capital needed to run this business tho

ic...sure no laundry outlet?
the normal capacity for a coin operated machine is between 7-11 kg from what i've seen.
for a single machine the cost is roughly RM 8000 depending on it's capacity and capability.
at the moment you guys can send your laundry to me starting this february.....thanx for the info mate...hope to hear from you soon.

Hummm

. But i think it's a good direction because his first link is there (oil and gas company). From there he can work something out for laundry. Tie a deal. Sure can make money. Slow and steady. Malay phrase says (Sikit2 lama2 jadi mountain

normally business suits costs between rm7-rm12 per suit........dry cleaning is the suitable washing method to preserve its garment
