David Bui, an entrepreneur from Sydney, Australia, started a\u00a0mobile car cleaning service<\/a><\/span>\u00a0to help those who don’t have time to clean their vehicles. In less than 24 months, Schmicko managed to reach $20,000 in monthly revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n

When and how did you start your business?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“I had the idea of an on-demand car wash & detailing service about 5 months ago, in which I was able to do a soft launch just recently over the last month. I drew inspiration from the US market, particularly the on-demand services industry and saw that there was a gap\/opportunity here in Sydney, Australia. On a personal note, I\u2019ve had bad experiences with car wash cafes ranging from long waiting times to mediocre washes. With a hint of research and past negative experiences, Schmicko was born \u2013 car cleaning at your convenience.”<\/span><\/p>\n

What are your goals for your business?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Being so early in our infancy, our primary objective is to achieve awesome brand equity<\/a><\/span>. We want to be known as a trusted, reliable and convenient car care solution. Not many are aware that such a service exists! So our primary objective here is to first build awareness\/educate and then, ensuring that we are the first ones that come to mind when someone is looking for a mobile car wash\/detail<\/a><\/span>.”<\/span><\/p>\n

How did you hear about BookingKoala?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“At the time, I was using Launch27 and was experiencing several limitations to their features and functions. Seeking assistance from a friend who has been in the field for quite some time, he recommended that I try out BookingKoala, which was coincidentally launching in a week or so. With the Forever FREE available (plan no longer offered), I had no reason not to give it a go and have yet to regret that decision.”<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you plan on leveraging BookingKoala to grow?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Now, I am subscribed to the middle package (today uses Premium package), which has all the nuts and bolts to get you started. However, as we grow, there will be a need to upgrade to the last package as it delivers more marketing features<\/a><\/span> as well as some fleet management functionality via the app, which are great, but not a must have currently.<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on basic supply and demand economics, our trigger to upgrade will be activated once we reach enough providers (supply) to the point where there is a greater need for additional marketing to stimulate demand or vice versa.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Would you recommend BookingKoala to a friend?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Well that\u2019s how I heard about BookingKoala and I wouldn\u2019t hesitate to pass that favour over to anyone thinking about starting a local-service business<\/a><\/span>. I find it encouraging that developments are continually being rolled out, which shows that they are always improving and more importantly always listening.”<\/span><\/p>\n
