It sometimes feels that how did we ever live without on-demand app services like Uber, Instacart, Lyft and many more. Did you ever think of getting laundry on demand?
If you think like every other new and popular fashion, on-demand app is a bubble and will burst soon, you are not thinking the right way. We can’t foresee a downward avalanche for on-demand apps, they are not going anywhere, not anytime soon. In fact, as the generation will evolve, so will be the appetite for on-demand apps.
One in every three people relies on rides booked on mobile, food ordered from their smartphone app and booking tickets from the comfort of their home. In fact, people today consider booking a cab an alternative to owning a car because you can be saved from the fatigue of driving, traffic, parking and many such inconveniences. So, it all started with Uber (on-demand cab service)- the on-demand business has outstretched to food ordering to grocery to real estate to getting a salon expert to finding an electrician, maid or repairman to booking a wedding planner.
And now it’s your laundry too. You can find a laundryman on your smartphone and get all the washing and drycleaning done without having to go out and look for a drycleaner in your city. If your Sundays were tied up doing the washing and folding of the laundry, you can have more quality time with your family and friends by booking a short-term servant who will do that for you. A great concept for families who do not require or can’t afford a long-term permanent servant or housekeeper- when they want just little extra help once in a while.

Apps like Laudrapp and Washio have taken over the market and started converting potential customers into loyal ones. Not because there are pioneers but because they provide excellent user experience while navigating through app screens.
