Due to the pandemic, many business ideas have been on the rise. While things may have changed a lot since the infancy of the virus, people around the world are still doing everything they can to survive—and one of the many ways they were able to cope with the financial demands of the global crisis was by building their own venture from the ground up.
It wasn’t an easy task. Many failed within the first couple of months, which is understandable, as the overall economy took a massive bump. But there are also those who were able to turn their luck around, managing to fight through their financial struggles, bringing in more customers than they could ever imagine.
You might be finding yourself in a similar dilemma, trying to come up with an effective business idea, one that would provide for you and your family. But an effective venture doesn’t have to be a “one-hit-wonder;” it should be able to put food on the table for a lengthy period of time. Since the current pandemic doesn’t seem to be slowing down, it’s only appropriate for you to take things to the next level!
“Any recommendations for a good business during the pandemic?”
Yes, but you’d only need one. A car wash would be a good start for you, especially if you’re looking forward to having a sustainable income.
“Why would I invest in a car wash? What are its advantages?”
Various car wash businesses have been around for a long time, even before the pandemic hit. So you can see the charm that they happen to have, even during these trying times! But did you know that there are other advantages to owning one, aside from their overall appeal?
Here are just a couple of examples:
Running your own car wash makes you your very own boss
Your venture; your own time. This is actually true for most self-owned businesses; you are your own boss! No one else would tell you what to do, other than yourself.
Of course, you may still need a couple of extra hands to run the business as a whole, but the final decision maker would be you. This is somewhat a pro and con in itself. If you make a good decision, you may pat yourself on the back. If you make a bad decision, however, you are also liable for the consequences—so be careful!
Car wash businesses are always here to stay
They’ll never go out of fashion, as long as there are cars that need to be washed, you’ll have customers honking outside your establishment. Even the maintenance of your car wash wouldn’t be a problem, as there are still many car wash builders and car wash suppliers who are willing to help you maintain the integrity of your business.
Car wash businesses do not require expensive marketing
The novelty of car washes would enable you to market your venture in a very affordable way. You wouldn’t even need to buy up a slot on TV or in magazines just to promote your brand!
The use and spread of leaflets and posters would be enough to promote your business across the neighbourhood. Let word of mouth run its course, and if that isn’t enough, you could also promote your car wash through social media. Not only does it have a wider reach, but it’s also free of charge.
The Bottom Line
There are more unmentioned advantages in running your own car wash, but most of them are best left to experience. Your first few steps may not be easy, but never give, keep pushing forward, and you’ll get your capital back in no time. Remember, in spite of the pandemic, people are still heading out for groceries and other essential supplies, and once their cars have gathered a clear inch of dust due to their frequent travels, they’ll be needing the service of a local car wash. That’s where you’ll come in!
