For starters, do you have the capability to provide similar pick-up and delivery services? How are your prices compared to your competitors? Do something promotional, like clean nine pieces, get one free. This would appear to cost you, but it gives you an opportunity to draw in customers that don't use your services right now. Another big one I notice off hand is how long you've been doing this, 18 years is a lot of experience, ensure you capitalize on this. I know if I am having something cleaned that I don't want to get ruined, like a suede jacket, I would be more likely to trust an experienced cleaner.

I hope these small suggestions help a little.

Thanks for the advice!
