Episode notes
Weekend Demand Is Sticky
- Laundry demand concentrates on weekends, especially Sundays, often exceeding weekday volume.
- Discounts and pricing experiments failed to shift customers to weekdays because work schedules limit flexibility.
Let Coins, But Track Everything
- Track cash with machines and cameras to prevent theft instead of banning coins; modern systems let you audit every deposit.
- Accept multiple payment methods but avoid discriminating against customers who prefer coins.
Use Mailers To Track Acquisition
- Use a postcard offer that redeems to a $30 loyalty card to capture new-customer data and track acquisition cost.
- Require loyalty-card redemption at the store to collect names and addresses for lifetime-value tracking.
