It’s About Setting Your Store Apart
Continental offers equipment that draws customers to your laundry. It`s how
you put it together — the equipment mix — that helps you set your store
apart.
Consider Card Technology,
Express Laundry Centers and
Amenities. All can make your store unique.
Card
Technology: Eliminating Coin Collecting
Let's face it, it's a hassle for storeowners to collect coins from laundry
equipment, and it's a hassle for customers to use coins to do laundry. No
one enjoys it. For storeowners, it's labor intensive and an accounting
nightmare.
Card technology eliminates these hassels. A snapshot of your store's revenue
is available anytime of day via your computer. Everything is automated and
recorded for you, and you have complete control over your cash and
accounting. Plus, a card store's cash-less system can make your store more
secure.
A Management & Marketing Tool
That’s why more and more coin-ops are adopting debit card technology a
system in which customers use cards instead of money to operate machines.
Card technology promotes customer loyalty, while providing you with the
promotional and marketing flexibility you need. Plus, it greatly simplifies
time spent managing the books and collecting your profits, and provides
on-line monitoring capabilities to track store activity while at an
off-store location.
Convenience
As stores become larger, they can take on larger pieces of equipment. The
bigger the washer-extractor, for example, the more coins required to operate
it. Piling quarter after quarter into a machine not only annoys your
customers, the process is time consuming and can cause coin jams that render
your machine inoperable. Card-managed laundries successfully avoid this
headache. At Continental, we'll work to help you design and implement your
card store. We think it`s the right move—one that will boost security, build
customer loyalty and save you time.
Amenities Make the Difference
Why do customers flock to your store? Because your store makes the dreaded
task of doing laundry more bearable, maybe even enjoyable... Your equipment
saves the customer time and money, and your store provides lifestyle
amenities that are interesting and comforting. No one likes doing laundry.
That’s why it’s important to make the experience as enjoyable and efficient
as possible.
When designing, or remodeling your self-service laundry, consider including
equipment, amenities and accessories that work together to attract a variety
of customers. Industry trends indicate self-service laundries are growing in
size and service, and including amenities such as super-capacity
washer-extractors, drop-off drycleaning services, vending machines, Internet
access, ATMs, restaurants, children’s play areas, television lounges,
tanning beds and more.
