How to Run a Successful Family-Run Mobile Detailing Business & Get Customers Only on Facebook and No Website! In this inspiring discussion, Anthony Henderson of Better Than New Mobile Detailing in Louisville, KY, shares his unique, simplified approach to running a successful and profitable mobile detailing business—with his family by his side! Anthony is a rare example of an owner who has intentionally kept his business small and family-run to prioritize quality of life, including homeschooling his children, and he shares how his family is part of the detailing work. Key Takeaways for Detailers: Low Barrier to Entry: You can start a mobile detailing business with just $500 to $600 and a minivan. Facebook is Your Main Tool: Anthony gets consistent, daily work by running simple, targeted Facebook ads and manages all his bookings through Facebook Messenger, without needing a dedicated website or an email marketing list. He can book a customer in about a minute using a simple script. His first ads ran for just $5 a day and filled his calendar two weeks out with 3 or 4 appointments daily.
