Marketing your business doesn’t need to be complicated.

As part of the DIA’s commitment to supporting the entire textile care industry during current cost‑of‑living and fuel pressures, we’re making a member‑only interview freely available.

This interview is normally exclusive to DIA Member Resources, but has been opened up to support drycleaners at a challenging time.

We recently spoke with marketing specialist Simon Gould about what actually works for drycleaners when time and budgets are tight. The full interview is now linked in our blog, so everyone can access it.

Three simple takeaways:

✔ Make sure your Google Business Profile is working for you
✔ Keep social media simple and consistent
✔ Share clear, useful content that builds trust
