Radio is still a power advertising method and can target a very local market. In today's PodCast we look at a some of my ads from the past few years and how they evolved

Coin Acceptors may not be an exciting topic but in the Laundromat Business it's a very important part of the equipment. Imonex Coin Drops can be used internationally and accept single or multiple coins.

Listen as we discuss the history, options and how to update your store.

There are many methods to advertise in today's world. In this PodCast we look at two simple methods. One is an app and the other is an actual item you can hold in your hands.

They each have a place and will work together.

The percentage of small businesses that fail during the first few years is actually a very sad number. Thousands of people have a dream and open a small business. They have the dream but not all of the information.

This list has been developed from my own experience. I currently operate a chain of successful Laundromats and was fortunate enough to have some guidance at the start and learned the rest very quickly. Unfortunately some of the items came as a surprise.

This information is targeted to a Laundromat / Coin Laundry but most will apply to any small business.

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Larry Adamski , owner of Muskegon Laundromat in Muskegon Michigan.

Larry has over 45 years experience as a Laundromat owner/operator. He formerly owned multiple Laundromats, a professional dry cleaning plant, a car wash and numerous apartments.

His current Laundromat in Muskegon is 3700 square feet and is open 7 days a week from 7am until after the last wash at 11pm.

There are 34 washers and 33 dryers, 3 change machines, soap and snack vending machines and ample seating and folding areas.

One of the main features of the store is that it is a Dollar Coin Only Laundromat.

Larry takes us through the journey to the Dollar Coin Only and his perspective on customer convenience, and some advice for Laundry owners considering new equipment.

Now let's talk DCO.

The Art of Persuasion: Ethos, Pathos & Logos

Some interesting things I learned today.

Ethos (Ethics)

Pathos (Emotion)

Logos (Logic)

It’s not often that the kids can stump me on subject matter, maybe on some details of how to do math problems or American History but spitting out terms I had never heard and being able to explain them!

So after a quick explanation of what they meant I handed over my iPhone and asked her to review one of my videos.

Many people struggle with making videos, myself included and even people that have done lots of them will tell you there are times they stumble a little, but if you speak the truth and from the heart it will come through in your message.

The video she was reviewing was about me realizing I had reached one of my goals and how I had set a plan in place and was making it happen.

And I DO believe that you can do it too.

We are going to cover a lot of areas of business and Laundromats so stay tuned and check out the video we talked about at LaundromatHowTo.com/PodCast
