Making A Towing Company

A lot of people have asked us what all was involved with getting our towing company started and what are the keys to its success.  We thought we’d put together a few thoughts as to the major keys to starting and running a successful towing company.

Marketing

Believe it or not, marketing is probably the biggest key to becoming a successful towing company.  If no one knows that you exist, then you will never get any phone calls and you will quickly go out of business.  How do you do marketing?  Well, there are many different ways to do that.  You can do lots of advertising to make sure that when people think of towing, they only think of you.  The problem is that people need towing at such random times that they won’t usually immediately think of one particular company when something does happen.

The best way to do marketing for towing is to show up highly when people search for related terms on google.  When something happens, people will go onto the Internet and type in on Google something like “towing company near me.”  If that’s the case, you want to pay an agency to make sure your website and company details is what shows up the highest.  That is a very effective form of advertising these days.

Personnel

You need to have the right personnel on your team or else you just won’t be successful.  You need to find drivers who are experienced and professional.  This just simply means you will have to do lots of vetting.  This is a big key to your success.

Equipment

You of course need to have the right trucks and make sure that you properly maintain them.  Don’t try to save a little bit of money here and there, because you will end up paying for it down the line.

Other than that, you just need to follow general small business advice.  Have great customer service and treat your employees well.  Be cognizant of your costs, and you should be able to be profitable!
