Steve Marcionetti, President of Card Concepts, Inc (CCI) and multi-laundromat owner, joins me on the podcast this week to cover a HUGE range of laundromat-related wisdom.
We center around the pros and cons of adding a card system into your laundromat as a payment alternative or replacement for the increasing number of coins required to operate laundry machines. Steve gives a ton of great advice on how to add value to your customers AND to your business through using a card payment system without drifting into a sales pitch.
This episode by a true veteran in the industry is packed with practical information, including:
- Steve's background in the laundromat industry
- Changes he's seen in the laundromat industry over the past 22 years
- What draws investors to this industry
- What changes are coming in the laundromat industry
- What Steve thinks successful owners are doing better than average owners
- The benefits of a card payment system
- Things to consider when deciding to add a card payment system
- Are card systems suitable for lower-income areas?
- Effective promotions with card systems
- How to add value to your customers
- Getting referrals before you get into business or make a large business purchase
- Is a card system too big of an expense for your laundromat?
And a ton more!
