The article "Case Study; South Africa Mobile Car Wash Businesses" is about cars, it was released by Lance Winslow.
We have all seen mobile vehicle wash units washing cars in parking lots, but did you know that can be a small business impeccable for those in emerging markets to start? It can be started on a shoestring and in doing so provide upwrad mobility to many start-up entrepreneurs.
One recent small business future entrepreneur asked;“I was just wondering what sort of machine do you use on the back of the vehicle to wash the cars do you clean them with a high pressure mahcine or do you use labour to wash and rinse the vehicles? ”A small time entrepreneur in Mexico may use a bucket of water and a sponge.
Some in Venzeuela use small steam machines and wipe down the vehicle with rags. In Dubai we saw a couple of yonug men cleaning using Dry Wash. I recommend that a small time operator perhaps start that way and save money to buy a really small pressure washer and a little tank or barrel to put onto a cart.
As money is saved from each vehicle wash from the profits after paying for supplies and helpers then eventually a vehicle can be bought and then put into a pick-up truck.“If you do use a machine what kind of machine do you use? We recommend the use of pressure washers and labour, as typically it takes both and pressure washers conserve water and are faster in the wash process. The Karcher Company has the hottest machines which are sold in Sotuh Africa, although there maybe other less expensive units available thru importing or buying online at Wal-Mart.Com and a small business person in such a country will have to check on what is available?“Do you guys clean the inside of the vehicles or do you just do the outside? ”If you clean inside of vehicles you will need portable energy source, generator and vacuum, which costs much more, but human being like that a lot.
If only outside it is much easier.“How did you approach the businesses to get to clean the vehicles at there premises? Did you approach the owners did you put flyers out or did you start by just going to persons that you knew? ”Generally we go up to a potential client and say; "Hey do you want your vehicle washed? " If they say yes, then give them a fair cost and do a really nice job and you will have a satisfied customer who will do it again when it gets dirty and refer you to others who have cars who wish them to be cleaned also and then you can develop customers and a route around the town or city. You should ask human being you know of course if they wish to have their cars cleaned as that makes snese too.We must promote small businesses in all nations; both rich and poor.
For those nations with less opportunity a mobile vehicle wash can be a stepping to stone for those willing to work hard, so they can be on their way and journey from “Rags to Riches” and we need to promote small businesses and commerce in all nations.
