1. Executive Summary
The business of laundry services in PAKISTAN is not well established national wide.
After analyzed this situation we registered a firm with the name of CleanTouch dry
clean. CleanTouch dry cleaning is providing dry cleaning services in a very efficient
manner in different areas of Faisalabad.
The objective of CleanTouch dry cleaning is to provide best and quality laundry services
in the different regions with affordable price. We visualized that the scope of the services
is very vast in Pakistan market. We identified that the different regions of Pakistan

washing services and it is also found that there is no security regarding the provision of
washing services as well as customer is not enjoying the other advantages. We selected
Faisalabad in the start as test market and we launch our business here in the first phase.
On the other hand, CleanTouch dry cleaning is providing not only laundry services but
also providing better atmosphere like a club & discounts color brightness better and many
other benefits.
CleanTouch dry cleaning is also providing a membership to its customer. It can play an
important role to make the customer loyal. We have also developed a database and
website www.cleantouch.com (in progress) for our customers at which they can check
their accounts status online with CleanTouch dry cleaning.
For the members of CleanTouch dry cleaning is more facilitating to their customer is that
the representatives of the CleanTouch dry cleaning will collect the washable clothes from
the members home and after washing that clothes will deliver back to the members
home.
When we went to the people and asked them various question about their laundry
services the answers of the questions were negative. We also asked them a question do
they want any new and best laundry services which fulfill their clothes requirements.
Most of the people answered Yes.
To keep the answers in view we segmented our total market and select the target segment
of the total market and then come with segment needs and requirements that meet the
customer satisfaction with latest technology.
To spread the awareness about the services of CleanTouch dry cleaning, we adopted
some kind of Medias to promote this service. In this context, we use electronic, print,
outdoor media for the promotional activities.
According to our business requirement we also estimated our investment and our finance
requirements that we have need to run the business in the start. We also calculate
breakeven analysis and operating statement for the three months.
After carried out all the above mentioned activities we got feedback from our users about
the services which provided by CleanTouch dry cleaning, their feedback was very much
positive.
