Deciding whether or not your business needs a valet parking service can be confusing. Although such services are generally found outside restaurants, hotels and nightclubs many other businesses can benefit from offering their clients complementary valet parking. Valet parking services are generally used in the service industry where impressing and pampering guests is what boosts the bottom line – that is why even such businesses as day spas and high-end hair salons have also started offering their clients valet parking services. Another growing trend is for upscale fitness centers and high-end boutiques to offer their clients valet parking. Such pampering may seem excessive but shrewd businesspeople know that such perks are often the difference between success and mega-success. One thing is certain, if you are marketing your service-related business to an upscale clientele, anything you do that will make your client’s visit to your premises easier, more convenient and more memorable is worth the extra money and effort because it will come back to you in increased sales. People with money want to be indulged and do not want the hassles of finding parking and paying a meter. They would much rather just hand their keys to a valet who will take care of such matters for them – and who blames them? So, if you were wondering whether your businesses needed a valet parking service or not remember that if you are in the service industry and you depend on impressing an upscale clientele, then chances are that your business would benefit from a valet parking service.

SAMPLE TEXT:
(from “Outside Oversights”)Inadequate or inconvenient parking
How often are you in your parking lot in the midst of the rush? Do you really know if your guests have trouble finding a place to park? If your guests can’t park easily, eventually they won’t try to park at all. After business hours, is there available parking space in the lots of nearby businesses? If so, make a deal with them to use the space. Don’t just commandeer it! Often a trade for meals is enough of a gesture to maintain good neighborhood relations.
If your parking lot is a long way from the restaurant entrance, you also have a problem, particularly in cold climates. Inconvenient parking can discourage business and cause your guests to get in the habit of going elsewhere. To make it as easy as possible for your guests, you may want to consider valet parking. Let the valet run down the block. Don’t ask your guests to do it. Consider making the valet service complimentary. After all, you don’t make a cent unless guests come in to dine in the first place!

Tipping valets
If you are planning a party for a non-profit organization or a charity event, it is not always appropriate for the gratuities to be prepaid. Most companies add 15-20% to their bills when the gratuities are to be refused from the guests. If you are giving a private party, however, it always is a nice gesture to include gratuities. It is always appropriate to offer a gratuity to the attendants because the host may not have pre-paid for tipping. An appropriate tip today would be $3 to $5 for a good service and perhaps $10-20 for excellent service.
