Admit it; you likely have a number of services stored away in your smartphone…The pizza place that delivers, your car dealership/repair shop or possibly a local florist. These are all very valuable services, and we’re not here to knock them. Trust me; some of our favorites are the dry cleaner who delivers (when you run a limo company, you spend most of your time in suits) and that same pizza place. However, how many of these services can get you where you want to go, all while saving you time and money? Realistically? None of them!
Simply put, a local limousine service is the most valuable service you can have stored in your contacts!
How can we make that statement?
Limo companies have the ability to cover a full range of customer needs: Personal and Professional.
For Retail Customers: While many only think of proms and weddings, limousine companies also offer transportation to sporting events, concerts, birthday parties, airports and sadly, funeral services as well. Working regularly with the same company ensures your comfort with the levels of service provided. Trust is a factor that has immeasurable value. Concrete savings can be found in the passengers planning a vacation to Europe (car service from Ridgefield to JFK round trip is $370 versus $657 for onsite parking/tolls/gas for a 12 day trip). Remember, your local limo company likely has a fleet of sedans, SUVs, vans and more (not just limousines).
For Business Travelers/Executives: Business travelers frequently use in-vehicle time to prepare for a meeting, review e-mails/articles/documents/etc, follow up on phone calls and use forms of communication not routinely allowed in flight. The ability to increase productivity is a win for both the employer and employee. Additionally, the cost of a chauffeured vehicle frequently is less than the comparable price of a rental car and parking at the home airport. For regular travelers, enrollment in a frequent rider program can net savings for future personal travel.
Did You Know? Your local limousine company can likely provide or facilitate arrangements for limo service at your destination (both domestic and international)? Would you rather chance a reservation on a company you don’t know – and happened to find on the internet, or go with one that is recommended by a company that you respect?
Few service businesses can offer the time and financial savings as well as your local limo company will. If you are not already a customer, take a few minutes and make the call to put this valuable resource in your cell phone. You will be glad you did! Also, if you can think of other service oriented businesses that offer similar value, please feel free to comment below!
I never considered having a limo company saved in my contacts. I travel frequently for work and am always using different companies in each city. I am normally in Chicago, so I guess it would make sense to save the number of my favorite Chicago limousine service. I will have to tell my coworkers about this. I’m sure they never thought about doing this either. Thanks for the great tip!
I agree with you on this one. The way I use my smartphone to keep contacts for all sorts (pizza, best redbox location, etc.) having a service like yours is a benefit. I would even take it a step further and place your information on my calendar as a reminder before big events that I know will happen in the year so that I know to request your service.
