Make Money Without Money - A Laundry Service Can Clean Up Your Bank Account


Doing the laundry is one of the most unpopular chores faced each week but for the industrious entrepreneur this can be a tidy way to make money without money. It is a fact that doing laundry is the one chore that gets put off as long as possible in the average home where all the adults work, often to the point where they have no clean clothes to wear. In this situation many of them resort to using the dry cleaners or a commercial laundry service rather than using the washer and dryer sitting in their own utility room.

There are several options you can offer when it comes to providing a laundry service to your prospective customers and each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on your situation and that of your customers.

You can offer to do their laundry at their home, which give you the advantage of using their washer and dryer and laundry soaps. The other advantages to this are they will be paying for the utilities and you do not have to pick up and deliver the laundry to their home. Disadvantages to this arrangement are that if you have more than one customer you may have to go to several different homes in a short span of days and you might want to consider getting bonded to protect you and your new business since you will be in people's homes.

On the other hand you can arrange to have your customers drop their laundry off for you to wash or you can pick it up, arranging several pickups at a time. This is probably the best of the choices which leaves you one last decision; do you use your own equipment or take the laundry to a commercial Laundromat? If you chose to do the laundry at home you are going to increase your utility bill and increase the wear and tear on your own laundry equipment.
By using a Laundromat you can do several loads at the same time which will cut down the amount of time per customer and result in you being able to handle more customers in the same time period. Using a commercial Laundromat will cost you more in the short run, but when you consider the high cost of your utilities and the wear and tear on your washer and dryer it is probably the best choice.

Advertise your new business with brightly colored fliers delivered to every home in town, especially those people you know are always working and the senior citizens. These are the type of people who are most in need of your services; consider tailoring your prices to each income level since most senior citizens are on a fixed income. Remember if your prices are fair you are likely to get far more business than if you try to rely on just a few people who can afford high prices.

One final thought as long as you provide a professional timely service your new business will flourish, proving that you can definitely make money without money even in todays world.

patch a dress

Magic tricks with tailoring tips. Its all about the right cut and fit. Borrowings from western fashion trends and blending them in saree blouses, kurtas or salwar kameez is an art. The darzi of yesteryears is now a style guru. Learn simple mantras for complete style.

A 32 kali kurta on a oversized figure is a complete faux pas. Gentle gather will give the same effect and a confident you. Play around with lines i.e. necklines and hem lines. A sweetheart or sabrina neckline will do well on a long neck. Alternate into a Chinese collar and close fit to stay slim and grace at your neck.

Styles are many and choose the right one. Whenever you buy a material, sit around with the fabric, understand the fall of the garment. A chiffon or georgette is all about feminity. Satin and silks take shape of your body. Another art is in cutting the garment. Make time with your designer. An empire line for a heavy figure seems like a perfect fashion blooper. An ace tailor masters the trends and applies it to Indian fashion. Indianizing western wear is necessary to an extent. Fits needs to be trendy yet classy.

Whether a tuxedo- 3 piece suit or a button down shirt the cut does the trick is styling. A normal tweed plaid jacket will look bland without right detailing of collars and pockets. Buttons and inner fasteners are essentials. Men's pants come in a range of fabric and a proper grip at the waist will grace the apparel.

Once the garment is cut, keep enough room for extensions. This is a master's job or a misfit can be a traumatic experience. It's a privilege to have a good tailor who understands your fitting style and moreover you. Assist him with ideas but go with his knowledge. Certain clothes require lining and retaining the lining to withstand wash and colour is the tailors duty. Pre-wash is necessary with linings and also some fabrics which are sensitive to shrinking.

Alteration is a major branch of Tailoring. All tailors cannot master this art. An old skirt lying in your cupboard corner, need not be thrown away. Alter the seams, steam press it, cover over with some georgette layers in handkerchief style and a new casual evening wear is ready. The same goes for your trousseau wear, which you long to wear but won't fit as now you are pleasantly healthier. Bring out the blouses, use the zari work, re-do the buttoning and add in a few strings to tie up. Cut a boat neck on the old Chinese collar of a former satin Punjabi suit. Taper the cowls of the dhoti salwar and a new dress is ready. Denims are friends forever and just alter the length. Cut-offs are good for monsoon, shorts for home wear and embellish if you want. Fashion tricks lie with the scissor hands - your Tailor.
