Thats a good idea Jimmie printing out the receipt . Only thing is, I know some people dont want their customers to know what products they use. Could potentially lose some customers that way. Maybe instead, leave out the specific products?
I use flyers and WOM. Flyers get put on peoples mail boxes in the neighborhood. I would like to put flyers or cards on the higher end cars I see around town, but that might come off bad as some people said, so Im holding off on that.
Also, if you go to a business often, like the doctors, dentist, hair cutter, etc., ask them if they would mind posting a flyer on their wall for you.

So what do you guys find is the best way to go about the WOM? For starters, I have 1000 nice business cards made up and small flyers with some basic info and services, as well as starting prices (3 flyers fit to a page of reg computer paper). So far, I've paper clipped 400 of them to my business cards and dropped them off in local wealthy areas. I've had ONE CALL! in 400 pass outs, so that obviously isn't working. All of it looks professional as well in my eyes.
So yesterday, I went to some local banks, offices, etc and marketed myself as offering detailing services when they're at work and being able to get their vehicle once they leave work or before if at all possible. So, I'm hoping to get some business off of this. Othwerwise, like I mentioned above, what do you guys do for WOM? Just go to local nice businesses and ask them to put your cards in the employee break room?

It all starts with the first car. It should be looking AMAZING! Then WOM will start.

Just thinking off the top of my head, I thought that maybe keychains might be an interesting idea. When the customer gives you the key, you can give it back when complete with your keychain with the company name and number. This way they will always have it if someone ever asks them about how great their car looks and why.
