Hey all. Now that the summer is coming to an end, I just wanted to share with everyone here the story of the business my friend and I started back in the end of May. We ended up chatting at like 2am about starting an auto detailing business. He had been doing that the summer before, and wanted to know if I was interested in helping out this year. Long story short, we made a Facebook page, distributed hundreds of flyers, and spent maybe 2.5 hours in Wal Mart deciding what products to start out with. We thought it would be nice if we grossed $1000 between us over the course of the summer. You know, two kids looking to make a few dollars between years at college. We had of course had many job applications turned down- no one around here is hiring kids who go to school out of state.
We ended up grossing just under $2500. There were sometimes more customers than we had time for- not only that, but we detailed stuff ranging from Jaguar XKRs to Audi A8 Ls to Dodge Vipers. Really crazy cars sometimes.
Just thought I'd share- lol college entrepreneurs are still out there.
If you wanna check out some of our work- search 'Clean Cars of Amherst' on Facebook.
