Spring Promotions

**davisautodetail** · 03-05-2013, 09:37 AM

I've seen some different guys on Facebook doing some contests and such.

Spring is coming (eventually here...) and I'm still working to build my client base.

I was curious what, if anything, people are doing for Spring promotions to entice customers out of their Winter woodwork (for those in areas that weather is a factor.)

Thanks!

Yeah, I think my wife might not go for that! Plus, strippers in parkas (it's still like 25 degrees here) don't really have the same appeal, right?

I ran some really good specials in the winter with no grabs so im not sure what i should run in the spring. i do however give all new customers 10% off their first detail.

I was thinking about something like the 10% off, and then doing up a coupon I can use for Facebook.

Or maybe a "free detail" facebook promotion, something that would involved sharing the facebook page to enter.

How about instead of percentage off...Do a free wax upgrade just grab a different bottle and make more money.Just a thought

That's also a good idea.

Here's what I'm thinking right now, which the goal is to get more exposure on facebook, get the word out. The hard thing is staying "local", but I guess getting more eyes won't hurt.

Do a $25 off or a product (like a sampler kit) worth $25. With the kit, it would give people a chance to do their own DIY thing and realize they need help, and obviously, the $ off would bring in a customer, hopefully giving a chance to long term it.

I'm considering some reselling options for product, mainly so I can tap into the car-culture guys that won't hire a pro, so this would help on that front as well.
