If you’re looking to grow your laundromat or laundry service, commercial accounts are one of the best ways to build consistent, recurring revenue. This guide breaks down exactly how to identify good partners, reach out, and land those deals — without overcomplicating the process.

Step 1: Know Who to Target

Start with businesses that already need laundry services:

• Hair salons and barbershops (towels, capes)

• Gyms and fitness studios (towels, uniforms)

• Massage therapists and chiropractors

• Day spas and beauty clinics

• Restaurants and cafes (aprons, napkins, rags)

• Airbnbs and short-term rentals

• Medical or dental offices (scrubs, linens)

These businesses often rely on staff to do laundry (poorly), or they’re using an inconsistent service. You’re offering to solve that problem.

Step 2: Create a Simple Offer

Make it easy for them to say yes. Focus on:

• Reliability: On-time pickups and returns.

• Professionalism: Neatly folded, clean-smelling, and separated items.

• Flexibility: Weekly or twice-weekly pickups, depending on volume.

• Ease: One set price, billed monthly.

Don’t overpromise. Just make it sound smooth, dependable, and worth it.

Step 3: Reach Out the Right Way

Start by visiting in person or sending a short, clear email.

In-Person Script:

“Hi, I run a local laundry pickup and delivery service. We work with other businesses like [relevant example] and I thought it might be helpful to you too. I’d love to leave this with you in case it ever makes sense to chat.”

Leave behind a simple flyer or card with your services, prices, and contact info (examples below).

Email Template:

Subject: Laundry service for [Business Name]?

Hi [First Name],

I run a local laundry service here in [City] and we work with other businesses like [Salon A, Gym B, or Airbnb hosts] to take laundry off their plate — pickup and delivery included.

If you’re currently handling laundry in-house or juggling inconsistent services, we might be a good fit. Our plans are flexible, our pickups are reliable, and we keep things simple with flat monthly pricing.

Let me know if you’d ever like a quick chat or a free sample pickup — happy to help either way.

Best,
[Your Name]
[Business Name]
[Phone]
[Website]

Step 4: Follow Up (Without Being Pushy)

If they don’t reply, follow up 5–7 days later with a short check-in. Keep it low-pressure.

“Hey [Name], just checking in to see if laundry help is something you’d ever be interested in. Happy to chat when it suits you.”

Often, they’ll remember you the second time.

Step 5: Make It Easy to Try

Offer a free first pickup or a no-commitment trial. Let your service speak for itself.

If they’re happy after one or two runs, move to a monthly agreement — even just via email. No need to make it overly formal unless required.

Final Tip

The goal is to start the conversation. You don’t need a complex pitch deck or long proposal. Just show that you’re:

• Local

• Reliable

• Easy to work with

That’s what most small businesses are looking for anyway.
