Idea Napkin No. 1

1.       I am the sole proprietor of All Bubble, No Trouble. My talents include being very personable, hard-worker, organized, and proficient. My skills include clerical work, sales, handling large amounts of money, being able to diffuse hostile situations. My experiences include being an assistant manager at Sonic Drive-In, being a paralegal for the United States Army, being a security guard at University Park Country Club, and a bank teller at Sunstate Federal Credit Union. My aspirations at All Bubble, No Trouble are to provide a cheap, fast, and efficient laundry service for the residents of Gainesville, FL so they can spend their time doing other various activities of their choice. I would like to become the go to laundry service for residents and businesses. All Bubble, No Trouble will likely consume most of my life in the beginning stages of the business until it becomes an established company. Once it becomes established, I hope to hire a good crew to run the day to day operations and focus solely on the big picture portion of the business. 

2.       At All Bubble, No Trouble I will be offering a laundry service that comes to your home or business and picks up your laundry. After pick up, I will wash, dry, and fold your laundry at my laundromat. After the cleaning, drying, and folding of the clothes is complete, I will deliver the clothes back to your home or business at the time you desire.

3.       The main demographic that I will be my services too is college students and single parents who work multiple jobs. I will be focusing on college students because they live such a busy life with class, homework, volunteer work, and sometimes work that household chores sometimes get left on the back burner. Having a laundry service that takes care of one of those back burner chores can make their lives a little less stressful. Next, I will be focusing on single parents who work multiple jobs or put in long hours at one job. Single parents have a lot on their plate in providing for a household at work then coming home to raise children on their own. My laundry service will allow them to spend a little more time with their children that they wouldn’t normally get to spend while they are doing laundry.

4.       Customers will pay money for me to take care of their laundry for them because it takes one less thing off their plate and lets them devote the time they previously spent doing laundry on something more important in their life. Knowing that they will always have clean clothes without having to do it themselves will make their lives a little less stressful.

5.       What sets All Bubble, No Trouble apart from other laundry services is the personal relationship we build together. I will treat every customer as if they are my only customer and their laundry is my laundry, not as if they are just another load. Building long, trusting relationships with my customers will be very important to me at All Bubble, No Trouble. What will set me apart from my competition is my low prices, my convenient pick up and drop off times, my attention to detail in their order, and most important the relationship I build with every customer.

I believe these aspects fit well in my business into my business concept. My biggest weakness for my business would be finding a location to actually do the washing, drying, and folding of the clothes and finding a vehicle to transport the clothes. Right now, my house and my vehicle would not work so I would have to find other avenues to make the business work.
