🚨 If the next generation of customers needed a drycleaner today, would they find YOU?

Gone are the days when customers simply opened the phone book or drove past your storefront. Today’s consumers are searching on Google, TikTok, Instagram, Nextdoor, Facebook, and beyond—and they’re making decisions about your business long before they ever walk through your door.

That’s why we’re excited to welcome Justin Kane, CEO of Cleaner Marketing, to NexGen 2.0!

In his session, “They’re Looking for You — Are You Easy to Find?”, Justin will share practical strategies to help your business stand out online, build trust with potential customers, and show up where the next generation is actually looking.

As someone who works with drycleaners and laundromats across the country every day, Justin has a front-row seat to changing consumer behavior and the marketing trends shaping the future of our industry.

If you’ve ever wondered:
✅ Why younger customers aren’t finding your business
✅ How your online presence impacts trust and buying decisions
✅ Which marketing efforts are actually worth your time and money

…you won’t want to miss this session.

What if your customers didn’t see laundry as a chore anymore… but as a seamless experience? 👀

At NexGen 2.0, we’re diving headfirst into the future of customer experience with Mike Trozzo, VP of Product & Innovation at Tide Services.

In his session, “Innovation in the Drycleaning Guest Experience,” Mike will challenge attendees to rethink the way customers interact with drycleaning and laundry services — from convenience and technology to creating experiences that actually make people feel cared for.

Here’s the reality: the next generation of consumers expects frictionless experiences. They expect convenience. They expect technology to work FOR them. Businesses that understand that shift will thrive.

Mike brings a truly unique perspective from Disney, design, startups, product innovation, and Tide Services — and this is exactly the kind of outside-the-box thinking our industry needs right now.

If you’ve ever said:
➡️ “How do we attract younger customers?”
➡️ “How do we stand out?”
➡️ “How do we modernize without losing what makes us special?”

…then NexGen 2.0 is for YOU.
