Target Marketing
H4WA4 segments itIs customers by type of car o$nership. H4WA4 belie%es that the type of car that a person o$ns says %olumes about their dri%ing and therefore their car $ashing and detailing re,uirements. 5ew car owners . 3$ners of ne$er cars are most likely to use a hand car $ashing ser%ice. These o$ners take great pride in their cars and $ill bring them often to the $ash and detailing ser%ice. The aim is to inform these customers that H4WA4 $ill keep their %ehicle looking e%ery bit as good as it did the day it dro%e out of the car sales yard. 6lder lu#ury car owners . These people ha%e either o$ned their high-end lu"ury cars for se%eral years or are unable to afford the e"pense of a ne$ lu"ury car but $ant the feel of rela"ed dri%ing. =oth these groups of clientele $ant to keep their cars in the best shape possible. Those $ho ha%e bought second hand cars $ill often spend many hours in their cars! and $ill place high importance on keeping their cars looking good. These o$ners $ill bring their cars in for regular $ashes and occasional details. Sports car owners . These people are often younger or middle-aged and $ill regard the look of their car as important. They pride themsel%es on the look of their car! and $ill most often ha%e their car hand $ashed $eekly. These dri%ers $ill ha%e an occasional detail! but generally keep their cars so clean that a detail is not normally necessary. :ifetime owners . Many of these clients ha%e o$ned their cars for more than fi%e or si" years and are more likely to be $omen. They are attached to their cars as friends and thought it may be sensible for them to purchase a ne$ car! they $ill bring their car in for a $ash occasionally! 8ust $hen it is dirty. They $ant their cars to remain presentable! but are not tied to the look of their car. 9or this reason! they $ill generally not ha%e the car detailed unless they are selling it. 1ealerships . There are fi%e ne$ and used car dealerships $ithin three miles of the proposed location of H4WA4. These dealerships use outside car $ash ser%ices to detail their %ehicles before they are put up for sale. )n addition! there are fifteen other car dealerships located $ithin a se%en km radius of H4WA4. :ocal *usinesses . Some local businesses ha%e fleets of cars and small %ans that must be kept clean to maintain their company image. These businesses $ill be looking for a cost effecti%e! efficient car $ashing ser%ice to perform this duty! and $ill prefer to use a car $ash ser%ice during the $eek rather than on $eekends! like the general public.
