Driving Auto Detail Sales through Gift Certificates

Driving Auto Detail Sales through Gift Certificates

If you are not using gift certificates as a way to increase your auto detail business then you are missing out on this powerful, effective and free marketing tool.

Listed below are the basic options for designing your gift certificate campaign:

Gift Certificates for Someone Else - A gift certificate entitling the recipient for a free full detail is a great way to bring new customers into your business. If presented properly they will be a valued commodity to the customers that you sell them to as gifts for other people. There are many great opportunities for this such as Christmas, Valentienes Day as well as Father's and Mother's Day.

Gift Certificates to Gain the Business of a Group - Car clubs are a great source of regular high end business for your mobile detailing company. Contact local car clubs and offer the organizer a free detail in exchange for a review within the club members. Some car club members own multiple cars that could use your expert services.

Would you like more corporate and retail accounts? Do you live in an area with a few business parks or office buildings? Consider giving the secretary of a large office a free detail in exchange for passing out flyers and organizing a day for people to have their cars detailed.

Here is a gift certificate template to get you started:
