Business Dynamics and Challenges
Business Activities:
Mamble Cleaning and Projects specialize in carpet and upholstery cleaning including car mobile car wash services. There is a large demand for cleaning (carpets) and cash wash services in Mokopane as more people prefer using small companies than large companies as small companies are more flexible and affordable. The company’s target market includes private households, private companies like car dealerships and hospitality establishments, public sector (government departments), municipalities and NGO`s.
The company operated for a long time without branding and as a result they had a challenge of not being able to fully reach their potential target market. The company relied on word of mouth for promotion and advertising. This has had a detrimental impact on the company's growth and development when compared to competitors who use progressive marketing strategies such as websites, social media, and other relevant promotional methods.
The owner of the company works to improve the neighbourhood and upholds fair trade and responsible corporate behaviour. The business has an immense potential of being one of the leading cleaning businesses in Mokopane and surrounding areas, this is due to their innovation and flexibility in accommodating various clients’ needs.
