See your growth potential — and the value of retention

Plug in your numbers and your market conditions. We'll show your potential ad spend, expected new customers, and how compounding retention turns one-time visitors into recurring revenue over 12 months.

Step 1

About your laundromat

How many unique paying customers does your laundromat see in a typical month right now?

$

Self-service: $6–$12 · Wash & fold: $15–$30 · Pickup & delivery: $25–$60+

Self-service: 3–4 visits · Wash & fold: 1–3 · Pickup & delivery: 3–5 (often weekly).

Step 2

Your market conditions

These adjust the projection to your real-world situation. The same ad budget delivers more in a low-competition area with strong reviews and an optimized website.

Estimates, not promises. Numbers are based on typical laundromat performance across 100+ clients. Actual results depend on ad creative, operational consistency, customer experience, offer competitiveness, and timing.

Email & SMS retention isn't in the ad budget — it's part of our All-In-One Growth Package. Those channels drive the compounding revenue you see in the chart below.

By month 12, retention follow-up adds an estimated $3,525/month of recurring revenue on top of acquisition alone — that's an additional $15k over the 12 months.

How these numbers work

Per-service CPL ranges (cost per lead)

  • Self-service$3–$5 CPL · 70% close · ~$6/cust
  • Wash & fold$7–$10 CPL · 58% close · ~$15/cust
  • Pickup & delivery$10–$15 CPL · 42% close · ~$30/cust
  • Mixed$5–$8 CPL · 60% close · ~$11/cust

Ranges based on Fresh Leads' typical CPL across 100+ laundromat clients. Higher-ticket services cost more per lead but deliver higher lifetime value.

Ad spend floor & channel split

$300/mo minimum (~$10/day) — below this, you can't gather enough data to optimize. The first $300 always goes to Google Ads (high-intent search). Above $300, additional budget splits 50/50 between Google and Meta (Facebook + Instagram for awareness and geo-fencing).

Email & SMS aren't in the ad budget — they're retention channels included in the All-In-One Growth Package.

Market-condition multipliers (stack on the baseline)

Local competition (affects CPL)

Low ×0.85 · Typical ×1.0 · High ×1.30

Reviews (affects close rate)

Weak ×0.80 · Decent ×1.0 · Strong ×1.15

Website (affects close rate)

Basic ×0.85 · Decent ×1.0 · Optimized ×1.10

Effective cost per customer = (service CPL × competition) ÷ (service close × reviews × website). Same ad budget delivers far more in a low-competition market with strong reviews and a high-converting website.

Churn assumptions (the heart of the compounding model)

Without retention follow-up: ~18% monthly churn. Customers come once or twice and drift. Active customer base plateaus quickly.

With retention follow-up: ~7% monthly churn. Welcome sequences, win-back campaigns, and seasonal promos keep customers coming back. Your active base — and revenue — keeps compounding.

Marketing also takes ~6 months to fully ramp and optimize. We model a gradual acquisition curve from month 1 to month 6, then steady at target through month 12.

Projections are estimates based on typical laundromat performance across 100+ clients. Actual results depend on market conditions, ad creative, operational consistency, customer experience, and offer competitiveness.
