How to grow your payments app with oven cleaners
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Oven cleaners deep-clean ovens, hobs, extractor hoods, microwaves and barbecues, working from a van in customers' kitchens. Most jobs take a few hours and are paid on the day, and many customers book again every six months or a year. Landlords and letting agents also book them at the end of a tenancy, often for properties where nobody is home. A payments app that takes tap to pay in the kitchen, sends a payment link when nobody is in, and reminds customers when their next clean is due can win these businesses, and every customer who pays sees your app.
Talk to oven cleaners
Ask local oven cleaners:
- How do customers pay at the end of a clean today?
- How do landlords and letting agents pay for empty properties?
- How many customers book again every year?
- What do you pay in card and bank fees?
Get paid in the kitchen
Tap to pay on the cleaner's phone, or a payment link with before and after photos when nobody is home, means the money is in before the van leaves.
Bring customers back
A reminder and a booking link six or twelve months later turns one clean into a regular customer.
Grow through home services
Oven cleaners know carpet cleaners, house cleaners and letting agents. One cleaner on your app can introduce the others.
