Webinar Recap: How To Turn Marketing Into Predictable Revenue

Bryan Hartsock has worked with over 1,000 laundromat owners. The question he hears most: "How do I get more customers?"

🎯 His answer, in short:
- Know your LTC-to-CAC ratio. Aim for 5-to-1 or higher.
- Prioritize commercial and high-end residential customers for pickup and delivery. They pay the most and stay the longest.
- Compete on value, not price. Differentiate instead of racing to the bottom.
- Use the right playbook for your stage: Beta Sprint to get started, Scaling Engine to grow.

Attended vs. unattended laundromat: which is right for you?

Short answer: it depends on your goals, not just your budget.

Go attended if you want a personal touch. On-site staff means built-in security, room to add wash and fold, pickup and delivery, or commercial accounts, and stronger customer loyalty. Tradeoff: higher labor costs.

Go unattended if you want lean and scalable. Lower overhead, 24/7 access, and cashless payments keep things efficient and easy to expand.

The twist: the line between the two is blurring. Cents Assist answers calls and texts around the clock for either model, giving unattended stores a "front desk" they never had and freeing attended staff to focus on the floor.

Cents just made the Inc. 5000! 🎉

We ranked No. 1 in Business Products, the fastest-growing company in our category in the country, and No. 101 overall.

It's a huge moment for us. But this belongs to our customers and our team as much as it belongs to Cents.

Most people still picture laundromats as quarters and pen and paper. The operators we work with are building real, modern, essential businesses in an industry that's getting more sophisticated every year.

The Numbers:
- No. 1 in Business Products nationwide
- No. 101 overall out of 5,000 companies (top 2%)
- No. 13 in the NY-Newark-Jersey City metro

And the most exciting part is everything still ahead. The operators we serve are just getting started, and so are we.

Thank you to everyone who's been part of this. This one is for you!

Marketing tools or a marketing agency? The right call comes down to two things: your budget, and how much time you're actually willing to put in.

If you want to re-engage the customers you already have, Cents Accelerate puts automated email/SMS, review management, and even a built-in website right in your hands. If you're chasing new customers through Google Ads, SEO, or a custom-built site, that's usually where a dedicated agency earns its keep, especially if your time is already stretched thin.

Most owners land somewhere in between. We break down exactly how to think about it! 👇

Should your laundromat use marketing tools or hire an agency? We break down Cents Accelerate vs. hiring a marketing agency so you can decide what's right for your business.

Is a laundromat still passive income in 2026? Not in the way people assume.

Running one still takes real work, but automation has closed most of that gap. Remote machine monitoring, cashless payments, AI-handled customer calls, and centralized management now do most of the heavy lifting for owners.

Our latest blog breaks down what's actually driving profitability this year, and which ownership model fits your goals.

Are laundromats still passive income? See what's changed: rising costs, multi-location scaling, and the tech making it more hands-off than ever.

Texting customers from your own number. Emailing a saved report to your accountant instead of exporting it. Loyalty prompts that land on the sign-up screen. A bookkeeper with the right access and nothing more.

A full laundromat retool is one of the largest investments an owner will make. The equipment you choose decides whether it pays off for years or becomes a constant headache.

Energy-efficient machines lower utility costs significantly over time. Faster cycles mean more machine turns per day. Digital payment compatibility is now table stakes, and support and maintenance matter as much as sticker price.

Speed Queen, Dexter, Electrolux, Girbau: each brings different strengths, and the right fit depends on your store, your customers, and your growth plans.

💵🚚 Collect and deposit cash safely, without the headaches: Cents partners with Brink's.

Laundromats are some of the most cash-intensive businesses in America, and for decades, the "solution" has been manual counting, cash bags, and runs to the bank squeezed in between loads.

Today, that changes. Cents has partnered with Brink's to bring smart safe technology to laundromat operators, backed by Brink's trusted cash logistics services, all through the Cents platform.

"As a payments company, our goal is to ensure our operators can manage all forms of payments, not just card or digital. Cash is at the center of every laundromat, and managing it has always been one of the biggest operational headaches," said Alexander Jekowsky, Co-Founder & CEO of Cents. "Partnering with Brink's allows us to remove that burden entirely. Tools that large retailers have relied on for years are now available to every independent business through the Cents platform."

Read the full announcement!

Cents has partnered with Brink's to help laundromat operators collect and deposit cash safely, without the headaches. No upfront costs. Next-business-day credit.
