Category:
Date: August 1, 2025

Intro:
Most dry cleaning businesses are leaving money on the table without realizing it. If your phone isn’t ringing consistently or your website feels like a ghost town, one of these common marketing mistakes could be to blame.

Mistakes & Fixes:

  1. No Online Visibility
    Mistake: Relying only on foot traffic or word-of-mouth
    Fix: Invest in SEO and local listings so customers can find you when they search online.

  2. Outdated Website
    Mistake: A slow or non-mobile-friendly website
    Fix: Redesign with clear calls-to-action, mobile responsiveness, and click-to-call buttons.

  3. No Tracking or Analytics
    Mistake: Not knowing where leads or calls are coming from
    Fix: Install call tracking and Google Analytics to identify what’s working (and what’s not).

  4. Ignoring Online Reviews
    Mistake: No response to reviews or too few reviews
    Fix: Proactively ask satisfied customers to leave reviews, and always respond—good or bad.

  5. One-Time Promotions with No Follow-Up
    Mistake: Offering a discount but not building a relationship
    Fix: Use email/SMS to stay connected after the first visit.

Conclusion:
Avoiding these pitfalls can make a major difference in your growth. If you're not sure where to start, let the experts at Cleaner Marketing help you build a strategy that works.
