Step 1
Monitor competition in the local market. To do this, you can both use their price lists and the specifics of the services offered. Use open sources on the Internet and the mystery shopping trick. It consists in a visit to a transport company and ordering services. It is not at all necessary to carry out the operation, the main thing is to find out what exactly each company is operating. Take advantage of a competitor's disadvantages to create an alternative offer that you can use to attract customers.
Step 2
Form a fleet of cars. You can buy cars, or you can hire drivers with personal vehicles, and register them both for a constant rate and for payment on calls. You can also rent cars and hire drivers separately. There are many options for forming a park, choose the one that is most attractive to you.
Step 3
Get started with a massive advertising campaign. Rent billboards, advertise on the Internet, on TV and radio, as well as in newspapers and magazines. It all depends on how much your budget allows you. A universal advertising ploy is the use of discount cards that will be issued to customers with each order. This will stimulate them to continue using your services.
