The following table lists some common considerations and suggested decision-making 
guidelines.

Table 4: Business Considerations for Wash Club Promotion

Consideration

Suggestion

Discussion

Price?

Based on frequency of 
visits

Wash club pricing can be determined by estimating the 
average number of visits a customer will make in a given time 
period. For example, say you estimate your average club 
customer will visit your car wash two or three times a week. You 
offer a $30.00 club membership good for a maximum of 10 
visits per month. The redemption value of each wash is $5.00. 
Therefore, the customer will break even after six washes. Six 
washes redeemed at $5.00 a wash is $30.00.

Frequency?

Monthly

You can bill (or renew) your wash club at given intervals: 
monthly, quarterly, etc. Monthly billing is a popular choice. 
Corporate customers might prefer quarterly billing.

Limitations?

None

You can limit the days of the week for which the club is active. 
For example, you might decide to offer the wash club only on 
slow days (e.g., Tuesdays and Wednesdays). Most often, 
however, the wash club is not limited.

What Wash?

Most economical base 
wash or second-level wash

Most often, a club is associated with the lowest-priced base 
wash. However, you can customize a club for any of your 
services.

Upgrades?

All other base washes

If your club wash is associated with the lowest-priced base 
wash, you can offer wash upgrades to each additional base 
wash. The customer savings remains constant.

For example, say an Exterior AS Wash Club member redeemed 
all 10 $5.00 base washes in a month. So, he received $50.00 in 
washes but paid only $30.00 for the club, a $20.00 savings.

Now suppose he paid an extra $5.00 to upgrade one of his 
washes from the $5.00 base wash to the $10.00 Premium wash. 
He was charged an additional $5.00. His total cost for the club 
and upgrade that month was $35.00. He received $55.00 in 
services (nine $5.00 washes and one $10.00 wash). His savings 
is still $20.00. But the car wash received an extra $5.00 in sales. 
Upgrades offer more business for the car wash and more 
selection for the customer.

Payment 
Options?

Autobilling

Customers who pay by credit card can be automatically 
renewed on a regular basis (monthly) until they notify the car 
wash to discontinue their membership.
