Family-friendly channels, which are refreshed eachweek, provide endless hours of entertainment for your customers. “For the last 10 years, I’ve always had televisions in my laundromats, usually three of them – one for the kids, one for local news and a third on another channel,”explained Ken Barrett, owner of Washin Oxford Coin Laundry. “I have had to add ‘packages’ to get something the kids will watch and enjoy. Atmosphere TV has let me provide a range of free videos that I’ve noticed more and more of my customers are actually watching, including the kids.” It’s your last chance to attend the Coin Laundry Association’s virtual programs for 2020.

“I have Atmosphere TV running at two of my locations,” said Stacey Runfola, who owns Laundry Stop. “Installation was easy, and the cost savings – free! – is noticeable. As I looked for ways to reduce my operating expenses without taking away the overall customer experience, this programwas the right solution at the right time.” Atmosphere TV is the newest benefit added to CLA Business Solutions, a suite of programs and services developed to help your laundry business becomemore successful.
