It should be noted that many window tinting services also offer a host of related automotive installation services including car audio installations, tires, rims, and related services. However, there are a number of standalone companies that simply focus specifically on doing window tinting. When a company only offers the service they typically operate in a much higher quality capacity by actually removing the windows and dipping them in the chemicals to tinted glass rather than applying a veneer on the window in order to darken it.

A window tinting service marketing plan should be developed as well in conjunction with the business plan and the SWOT analysis. Foremost, many window tinting services acquire a highly visible retail location from which they are able to showcase their services to the general public. Finding a very good retail location is very important as many people see what is offered on a daily basis as a drive around. As such, while this may contribute to a higher initial operating expense – the return on investment for maintaining large-scale signage in a highly visible retail location can be very beneficial to the business.
As with all businesses these days, a proprietary website should be developed that showcases the location talent, hours of operation, costs relating to window tinting, and other pertinent information. This website can be listed among all major search engines including Google, Bing, Yahoo and a presence on social media should be established as well. As it relates to social media, maintaining profiles on platforms like FaceBook and Twitter allows individuals to see images of completed work in the past with the permission of the car owner. This can be a great way in order to generate interest in the business given that individuals that have used the service can also leave reviews on the social media pages. This can drastically boost the visibility of the business as well as the credibility of the company as an honest and quality provider of window tinting. One of the nice things out maintaining a large-scale social media presence is that images of completed work can go viral and be seen by potentially thousands of people at any given time. Additionally, the cost of maintaining a presence on social media platforms is next to nothing. Although it does take some time to generate a significant amount of interest in a specific social media platform – the return on investment as it relates to the time necessary to maintain this presence can be significant. Many businesses will also use pay per click marketing in order to drive traffic to their website at the onset of operations.
Window tinting services can be highly lucrative businesses given the high margins generated as well as the low operating cost. Given that many of the people that are purchasing the services are younger people with more discretionary income, economic recessions do not have nearly the same level of impact on these types of businesses as they do with related companies.
