Confessions of a Certified Car Wash Menu Nerd | Sean Pashley | The Wash Exchange
Q: And typically, if you, to say, you've got your top wash is $24, what should your membership monthly fee be?
Sean says the monthly membership price should not reach twice the top single-wash price. He emphasizes that the price differences between membership tiers should make sense and encourage customers to upgrade.
Confessions of a Certified Car Wash Menu Nerd | Sean Pashley | The Wash Exchange
Q: In your experience, Sean, what do you find is the percentage? So, you got three washes on a menu board, you know, you got good, better, best, if you just want to call it that. What's the split up? What's the makeup? Is it 90% on the top wash?
Sean says that in a healthy three-package setup, the middle or top package should be the leading seller. He describes the middle package as often selling most, with the top package next and the basic package last.
Inside Splash's 80-Site Acquisition Playbook — Jay Frank, COO, Splash Car Wash
Q: How does Splash respond when a well-funded competitor opens nearby and offers free washes?
