Create a dry cleaner website with your price per item

Nobody plans a trip to the dry cleaner months ahead. A job interview, a wedding, a christening or a duvet too big for the washing machine sends people to their phone, typing dry cleaner near me or dry cleaning in Bordeaux. They compare two or three shops on price, on the day the garment will be ready and on how carefully each place seems to work.

The price board, now on your dry cleaner website

The board behind your counter already answers most questions. Put the same list online: shirt, trousers, jacket, suit, coat, dress, duvet, curtains, each with its price. Customers who see that a two-piece suit costs what they expected come in; those who find nothing go to the shop that shows it. When a price depends on the fabric or the size, give a starting price and say what changes it. With Communik each item is a row you update the day your rates change. Give household linen its own lines too: duvets, bedspreads, tablecloths and curtains often bring new customers in spring and autumn.

Ready on which day?

Turnaround matters as much as price. Give a time for every service, the same evening for shirts left before ten, three days for a coat, a week for a wedding dress, according to how your shop really works. A customer with a train on Thursday knows whether to come today or look elsewhere. If you run an express service, show its price and its conditions so nobody assumes it by default.

Stains, delicate fabrics and the risk you announce

Experienced dry cleaners never promise that every stain will come out, and the site does not either. Explain your house rules instead: the care label read on every garment, the risk announced before a delicate treatment, a ticket for each item, a missing button sewn back on. For leather, silk or an old wedding dress, invite the customer to describe the fabric, the stain and what the label says through the form before coming in. You answer with a price, a time and an honest opinion. Say too what you do with garments marked as not suitable for dry cleaning, so nobody is surprised at the counter.

Alterations, a trade of their own

Many shops earn as much from the sewing machine as from the cleaning machines. Give alterations their own place: trousers taken up, a zip replaced, a waist taken in, a wedding dress adjusted. Show a price for the common jobs and explain how fittings work. With the booking option, a customer can pick a slot for a fitting instead of queuing at the counter.

Weekly shirts and customers who work nearby

Office workers drop off five shirts on Monday and collect them on Friday. If you serve them, say on which days, until what time, and whether you collect from companies; if you do not, leave it out. Add your hours, including the early opening that suits commuters, your address and reviews from customers who describe a garment you saved. Plain facts like these turn a passer-by into a regular.

Put your price board and your turnaround online this week, so the next suit needed for Friday ends up on your counter.
