6 Ways That Dry Cleaners Can Enhance Business in the Covid-19 Era

  September 10, 2020

During the pandemic, many laundry services Vancouver have seen their income dry up, just like any other service provider, such as fitness centers, hair salons, hotels, restaurants, etc. Lots of laundry services have been forced to shut down completely, while others have reduced their working time. Some dry cleaners have pivoted to making face masks to keep the doors open.

Here are some ways dry cleaning businesses can adapt to what many are calling our “new normal”.

  1. Introduce Pickup and Delivery Service

During this time, your service should provide “contactless” pickup and delivery so that your drivers aren’t making direct contact with customers. Make sure to promote your pickup and delivery services on your website, advertising, and customer emails.

  1. Invest in Software

Route planning and optimization software make it easier to give pickup and delivery services. It is helpful to invest in software to optimize the efficiency of your services.

  1. Provide Online ordering/booking/payment

Aside from software, your dry cleaning business could benefit from the ability to take orders online, with payments through a variety payment methods. This simplifies the procedure of administering pickup and delivery services.

  1. Connect with a third-party Pickup and Delivery Service

Don’t want to set up your own pickup and delivery service? You’ve got another option. You can sign up with a third-party pickup and delivery service to get the benefits of providing pickup and delivery while leaving the work to an external service provider.

  1. Mobile-friendly Website

Is your site easy to use and fully responsive? If not, your site might be tough for mobile phone users to navigate. That may irritate clients who’ve come to expect mobile-friendly websites.

  1. Roll Out Laundry Service

If you are only providing dry cleaning services then you can add laundry services too to ease the financial pain of the pandemic.  Consider beginning laundry service to make a new way of revenue generation, as business professionals who do not need as frequent dry cleaning due to working at home, will instead have more laundry to do.
