Writing Killer Copy
After reading this article, I looked at my radio ad and decided it was horrible. My new ad has a "hook" and speaks to the customer's needs.

What you say is so true! What do you think about adding a portable street side sign telling everyone that drives by about $2.00 Tuesday?

THE BIG 3
1. Safety is the first concern of your customers. Is the laundry free of hazards.\? Do you have a video security system or other security systems in place.
2. Cleanliness is a big 2. I hate it when I visit laundries that seem well located and then dirty. Your customers feel the same way. The laundry should be well lit with clean floors, machines, counters and definitely bug free.
3. Working Equipment is essential. I have met Laundry Owners that are of the opinion that if most of the equipment is working; the laundry is in ok condition. This is absolutely false. Out of order signs turn customers off and you are not going to reach your optimum income level if you are not taking care of your equipment.
