Detailing from your home garage

[Toy_Cam_Ed]

For marketing, I have tried lots. From paid ads, to flyers etc. When I ask each client where they heard about me? Google places. The free, 10 minute setup Google listing is what brings me 85% of my clients. Word of mouth is the other 15%

Thanks a bunch about google places. Is it all free? And what section of Places are you advertising in?

I think that offering a mobile service, and the option of having clients bring their car to your garage, is a great combination for a part time business. I do 90% of my details at the client`s garage, but there are the few that don`t have a garage to work in, so I use mine. It is also nice to work at home every now and then because eveything is there... including food/drinks if it turns into a long detail!

It is free yes, unless you use ad words or another one of their paid advertising services. (Which I don`t)

As in which section, I am not sure what you mean. I have the category as automotive and selected several sub categories that pertain to what I do.
