Ironing Service Setup

If you're thinking of starting up an ironing business, now is the time! Ironing is the most hated household chore and with people working longer hours than ever, ironing is time consuming and avoidable.

 

 

Here’s a few useful tips…

Starting an ironing service can be a great way to earn extra income, but it’s important to plan and prepare before diving in. Here are some tips to help you get started:

 

  • Research your market: Understand the demand for ironing services in your area and identify your target market. Consider the types of clothes and fabrics you will be ironing, and any specific needs of your customers.

 

  • Create a business plan: A business plan will help you map out your goals, target market, competition, and financial projections. It will also help you secure funding if needed.

  • Get the necessary equipment: Purchase or rent commercial-grade ironing equipment, including irons, ironing boards, and steamers. We can help with this! You may also need a van or truck for transportation.

  • Obtain necessary licenses and insurance: Check with your local authorities to find out what licenses and insurance are required for your business.

  • Advertise and market your service: Use various marketing strategies such as flyers, business cards, social media, and word of mouth to reach potential customers.

  • Set your prices: Determine your pricing structure based on the cost of your equipment, your time, and the going rates in your area.

  • Be professional: Be punctual, reliable and professional at all times. Follow up with your customers and be responsive to their needs.

  • Be flexible and adaptable: Be ready to adapt to the changing needs of your customers and the market.

  • Be aware of your legal rights and responsibilities: Be aware of your legal rights and responsibilities as a business owner and an employee, and be compliant with all the relevant laws and regulations.

  • Starting a business can be challenging, but with a clear plan and a solid work ethic, you can be successful in providing a valuable service to your customers and building a successful business.

 

 

Feedback - ask for this. Take careful note of the things you do well and the things clients suggest. There is no such thing as a 'fussy customer' - make sure they get their ironing back the way THEY want it.
