Looking to start a local detailers association here in South Jersey. Would you be interested in getting together with other detailing business owners? Let me know. Thanks.

Re: South Jersey Detailing Association

Currently in the process of contacting just about every automobile detailing business now conducting business here in Southern New Jersey. Planning on establishing regular meetings with detailing business operators beginning on Wednesday evening November 1st, and the first Wednesday of each month thereafter.

Re: South Jersey Detailing Association

Just wanted to take the time to share some exciting news. On Tuesday evening I was a guest speaker on WVLT 92.1 FM, Vineland, NJ radio show Cruisin with the Editor. http://www.wvlt.com/evening.html

The show is on-the-air at 92.1 FM from 8pm to 9pm every Tuesday evening. It is basically a talk show about the automobile. Antique cars, todays vehicles and tomorrows dreams. Larry Lazareff is the host of the show and Ben Notaro is the co-host. Larry is also the Editor and Publisher of Cruisin News, a publication about automobiles. And that is probably a good reason why the show is called Cruisin with the Editor.

Doing the radio show was really neat. You get to sit there and talk to listeners out there in radio land. You also get to field questions phoned in by a few of those listeners. Of course, the topic of the evening centered around what it takes to keep your car looking good. That is something that is very easy for me to talk about, especially since I have been operating my own car detailing business for more than twenty years.

Had a lot of fun doing the show and they have already invited me back to do another show this spring. It sounds like they may have me back about every three months to talk about what it takes to keep your car looking good with the change of each season.

It was sure a lot of fun and I am really looking forward to going back to do the next show this spring. I will let you know the exact date I will be on the show again as the time approaches.

Stay tuned!

Re: South Jersey Detailing Association

Rocco,

I am currently in the process of contacting local detailing business owners here in Southern NJ. We need to find people who are willing to put in some time. At the current time I am looking for a core group of three to five people to start out with. I guess you could say we are in the groundwork stage. Once the core group becomes dedicated and at ease with the organization, there is a much better chance of those members recruiting more detailers.

Basically, we need people who are willing to do their part in order to give the association a sense of shape and direction. We need hard working people who are willing to share their ideas freely for the benefit of all. It is a grassroots effort that requires taking one step at a time.

Regards,

Re: South Jersey Detailing Association

Here are my thoughts in regard to the goals of this association.

1- Create a mission statement that clearly defines why the association exists in the first place. We need to identify a focused view of its fundatmental purpose.

2- A concise description of the values and goals of the association needs to be developed. That will help to give the association a sense of meaning and direction.

3- Define in real terms who, what, where, when and how the association serves.

4- Realize from the start that the association is not just about member benefits or what detailers want from the association.

5- Establish a consumer awareness campaign that is completely focused on meeting the needs of the customer. A campaign that goes hand in hand with the establishment of constant quality improvement standards.

These are just a few of the goals I have in mind. I am sure that other members will have their input as to the goals of the association.
