Why Use the DIA Classifieds?
Unlike general marketplaces like Gumtree or Facebook, DIA’s classifieds are targeted specifically at the dry cleaning and laundry industry. That means your listing reaches the right eyes — professionals who understand the value of your machinery, the realities of running a dry cleaning business, and are more likely to convert into serious buyers.

Top reasons to use DIA Classifieds:
• Industry-targeted audience: Get your listing in front of other dry cleaners, not the general public.
• Direct communication: Inquiries come from qualified buyers familiar with the business.
• Trustworthy platform: DIA’s reputation lends credibility to your listing.

What Can You List?
• Businesses for Sale: Whether you’re retiring, relocating, or transitioning, this is your chance to showcase your business to fellow drycleaners or people looking to enter the industry.
• Equipment for Sale: Upgrade your operation and turn old assets into cash. List items like dry cleaning machines, presses, spotting tables, boilers, and conveyors.
• Wanted Listings: Looking for something specific? You can post what you’re looking to buy too.

Tips for Writing a Classified Ad That Gets Noticed
Want your listing to stand out and generate real interest? Follow these quick tips:

1. Use a Clear, Specific Headline
• Avoid generic titles like "Business for Sale."
• Try: “Established Dry Cleaning Business in Sydney – Turnkey Operation” or “Union L850 Dry Cleaning Machine – Fully Serviced”

2. Include Key Details
Buyers want to know:
• Location
• Asking price (or price range)
• Brand, model, and condition of equipment
• Size of premises and lease terms (for businesses)
• Reason for selling
• Whether training or transition support is offered

3. Add High-Quality Photos
• Clean and well-lit photos attract more interest.
• Show the item or business from multiple angles.
• Highlight anything recently upgraded or well-maintained.

4. Be Honest but Positive
• Mention any faults or quirks, but frame them with solutions (“Needs new filters – easily sourced from [brand]”).
• Emphasize benefits (“Profitable business with long-standing client base and central location”).

5. Include Contact Info and Preferred Response Method
• Make it easy to reach you. Include phone, email, or both.
• Let buyers know the best times to call or if you prefer email first
