WOYM: Coating pricing what's next and where do we go? w/ Tony Kiger

Tony Kiger posed a great question in Realm of Coatings a week or so ago and I've been thinking the same thing for a while. So here's the post "With all the coatings on the market, and the hype wearing off, detailers not promoting a brand as much, what will come next? With vehicle owners buying coatings off ebay, amazon, autogeek and alike, and applying them themselves, how are you justifying the price still to this day? Are you lowering pricing? Adding more services? Performing a higher level of

Renny and Chris run a very successful training that teaches detailers the business side more than the detailer side of thinking.

Convenience isn't something that shouldn't be considered cheap. When you stop at the Convenience store most things are not the same price as a retail store. When you go to an oil change center it isn't cheap. Mobile detailing is a convenience and yet most mobile detailers are cheaper than shop based locations. It seems like mobile detailers don't follow the "convenient" store business model but follow the "fast food" business model of being cheaper than a restaurant. Jordan Eveland with Preci
