In order to alter this trend for the better there has to be a change in the current marketing mix put into effect.

...called Precision Auto Detailing. What Frank and Carlson plan on doing was to devote the early part of their day to their auto business while maintaining their 6 to 10 shifts at the packaging company. They both invested a total of $6000 to lease the building and buy tools and equipment. The building is located in a high-traffic area and has established a small base of clientele to whom some were local car dealers. Frank and Carlson kept the part-time employees who were already working there and try to earn other car dealers businesses by making a few phone calls. They wanted to provide their customers with top-notch service by picking up the vehicles they cleaned including inspections before they are returned. The price of their service ranged from $100-$250. Because of the service they provided their business grew rapidly and had to purchase new detailing equipment. The majority of the profits made went back into the company but was not enough to sustain their rapid growth. After running into Carlson he wanted me to explain to him on what he needed to do to get a loan to help finance the growth of their business.
