In Laundry Promotion strategy we have to understand that the market can be divided into one main group and one minor group.  The main group can be students group studying nearby schools and college and leaving in campus or out of campus. The group of on-campus students are looking for a laundry facility off premises allowing them to escape from the dorm. The larger subgroup of the students are off-campus students who do not have in-house laundry facilities. A small group of customers will be low-income individuals and families that do not have laundry abilities at their home/ apartments
