    Pretty Good for my First Customer: Marketing Idea for Fellow Mobile Detailers

    So I just very recently started a mobile detailing business while I'm in college and got my first customer(s). I emailed a local realtor agency about detailing their agents cars since the agents often have to drive their clients around. The lady that runs the agency agreed to have me do a basic wash and interior detail/vacuum for $25 a car (I know it seems like a low price but its fair for my market)

    She also wants to have me come once or twice a month, if she and her employees like the work that I do the first time. At the moment I have no clue how many cars she wants me to detail on the first visit, so this could get interesting.

    Just thought I would pass on the idea to everyone else on here, and I'm willing to send anyone a copy of the initial email that i sent the agency.

    Congrats! Just remember she is looking for a wash and vac, not a detail where you find yourself taking too much time considering the pay.
    Think of ways to produce an excellent result by being efficient. For example, use a shampoo that doesn't leave streaks on glass, just clean the interior plastics without conditioning, use a spray tire shine instead of using a brush, use that tire shine for door jamb plastics, etc
