The mission of Tuchman Advisory Group is to organize, facilitate, and assist our National Management and Cost Group in the dry cleaning industry. Our group consists of dry cleaners located in non-competing markets. We help our clients to improve, develop and provide their customers with the best possible service and quality while growing profits to the maximum level. Together we achieve marketing, sales, production, advertising, and social media goals.
Being an entrepreneur can be a lonely business. Few of us in our business have the intellectual breadth to keep us challenged. We also seldom have anyone to whom we are accountable. A cost group helps solve that problem. Our group convenes three times a year and rotate in cities where our dry cleaners are located.
