Escort and protection of cargoes. Business idea - escort service for guests of the city. Escort services. To be continued

Many tourists and business people come to every major city every day, and not all of them are well oriented in this city. Time, as a rule, is short for visitors, and there are a lot of pressing issues (where to settle, dine, relax after work). Yes, most people prepare for the trip in advance: they book a hotel room, develop optimal routes. Most, but not all. And if we take into account that there are about 400 passengers in each train, 160 of them in compartment cars and 36 in SV cars, there is no doubt that the escort service for guests of the city will have enough customers.

Range of services

By and large, such a service is a mixture of a taxi and a city certificate. Its essence is as follows: the client orders an escort service by phone, say, for 3 days. At the station, he is met by a man with a sign on which the name of the client is written. The greeter becomes for a specified period (in this case, for 3 days) a personal driver and consultant to the customer on all issues regarding accommodation, food and recreation, offering options that are optimal in terms of price and quality. Thus, the client saves his time and receives the service of the level that he needs, at an affordable price.

How much can such services be valued? Everyone decides for himself, focusing on the price level and his costs. But it is worth considering that the rate should not be too high, for example, $ 20 per day plus gasoline costs. Medium-sized entrepreneurs or seconded employees of reputable firms who value their time are used to some comfort and therefore make up target audience such a service, this figure will not scare away. Moreover, such a fee will not be burdensome for city firms that do not have their own fleet of vehicles, but strive to adequately accept a business partner.

You will have to spend a decent amount on advertising, and even when things go well, you should not relax. In such a business, targeted advertising would be ideal. It is easy to organize: you need to print small flyers with a clear and understandable description of your services, as well as a phone number and distribute to the conductors with a request to hand these materials to passengers along with the bed. You can additionally motivate conductors with small commissions, for example, if an order comes from such and such a car, its conductor receives $ 1. But you will have to print new circulations of leaflets regularly.

Another major cost item is the wages of drivers. It is clear that they will have to pay more than ordinary taxi drivers, because such employees must be able to communicate with customers and have a significant amount of information. Also, you can not do without a dispatcher. Most likely, you will have to rent and equip an office and, of course, register a company. All this will require considerable funds, however, the enterprise will also bring significant profits.

To increase the profitability of the business, you can establish contacts with cafes and owners of apartments that are rented by the day - regular customers be sure to get a discount.

Comfortable transportation is relevant not only if it is necessary to deliver a person to the hospital. Accompanying a disabled person to a sanatorium will reduce the level of stress for him on the road.

For a seriously ill person, a person with disabilities, timely assistance and support is extremely important. All this makes it possible to provide professional social support for the disabled.

Transportation to the place of treatment and rest is implemented various methods. This may be escorting a disabled person of the 1st group to a sanatorium in a specialized car, on an airplane or train. The choice of transport is determined by the objective need, the financial capabilities of the customer of the service.

Accompanying a disabled person of group 2 to a sanatorium also has its own nuances. Usually people of this category are quite independent. For them, not so much medical as social support is relevant.

Specialists of the specialized company will help the disabled person comfortably endure the trip on any of the available modes of transport, as well as create the necessary conditions for social adaptation at the place of rest and treatment.

Divorcing children to schools, taking them home, taking the elder to the pool, not being late for the choreography with the younger and not forgetting about their business is a difficult task. And not everyone can afford a babysitter. But there is a way out. We talked to Anna Filippova, the founder of the Kidsway service for accompanying children, the only such project in Russia, which has almost no competitors in the West.

Anna Filippova

founder of startup KidsWay

How was the idea to create a project to accompany children in a big city born?

The idea arose in mid-2015 when I was studying in Washington. My neighbor then hired a woman for her children, who took them to school and to all kinds of circles. That is, it was not a nanny in the usual sense of the word, but an attendant. At that time I did not plan to return to Russia, but it was this idea of ​​my neighbor that completely turned my life around and made me come back.

At that moment I did not think about the scale. It's just that a person appeared in the team who made an association with the delivery of children like pizza around the city and said that this should be a huge success in our metropolis. Now he is a co-founder of the project. After that, I seriously thought about how big and serious this project could become. I began to study the market, look for competitors. Six months ago, as a result, we found them - however, in America. But they are still more like taxis for children.

Was it difficult to bring the project to life?

It is still too early to say that it is fully implemented. Despite the fact that it works without interruption, we still continue to face certain difficulties. Every day we try to fill our product with new interesting and useful details for parents, which are not visible at first glance, but at the same time greatly simplify the lives of our customers. This work is endless. In business, the main thing is not to stop, but to continue to develop it.

Are there any analogues of your project in Russia today?

At the planning stage, of course, I studied the Russian market and realized that it was completely empty. I did not take into account the bulletin boards on Avito. At the very beginning of the existence of Kidsway, many associated us with the Kidsout project. But we have completely different goals. Both projects are in high demand in Russia, but their functions do not overlap at all. Unlike babysitting, we only escort children around the city. With rare exceptions, when parents are late, our attendants can sit and play with the child for one to two hours. In addition, we are not a bulletin board where parents choose their nanny or babysitter, contact them on their own, often do not check their documents. These nannies do not bear any responsibility, because the parents do not conclude an agreement with them.

Each of our escorts goes through a very difficult check. We personally meet with everyone in advance, check their certificates of non-conviction, the presence of debts on loans, fines and accidents, proven experience in working with children and much more.

There are no accompanying men in our database. All women - only with Russian citizenship and experience working with children, aged 38-40 and older

We introduced such a qualifying qualification because we know that not every mother is ready to entrust a child to a student or a young person without pedagogical experience. We have teachers, including those from Moscow State University and MGIMO, educators, teachers, tutors with a free schedule, who manage to combine their main activities with work with us. Most of them are mothers of already grown children who know how to find an approach to children. different ages and temperament.

Parents communicate directly with the service, and not with the escorts themselves?

Yes, we remove this headache from them. The client solves any issue with the service and with the manager who works with him, and not with the accompanying person. We have developed a clear system of orders for the client, who does not have to contact our attendants and discuss the schedule on their own. All organizational nuances are solved through us.

How exactly does the ordering system work?

The manager, together with the client, schedules the child's trips for a month or for several months. After payment, all orders come to mobile app for accompanying persons who are “assigned” to the order. There are usually no more than three in case someone gets sick or someone's car breaks down. The attendants press the button the moment they arrive at the child and the moment they hand the child over to the teacher, coach or educator. Therefore, parents receive notifications about the movements of the child along with the accompanying person, and they remain calm about the logistics of their children.

Accompanying Kidsway with a child

How quickly and easily did Russian parents get used to this type of service, did they entrust their children to you right away?

At the very beginning, about two years ago, it was very difficult. At first, I explained for a long time what our project was about, because people did not understand what “Kidsway” was. Everyone is used to permanent nannies, but here suddenly - completely new service, allowing you to do without a permanent nanny and, accordingly, without a huge expense item. And of course, initially there was a problem of parents' trust in relation to us and our escorts. But there is a rumor about us, customers advise their friends and acquaintances our service. Therefore, now we have very loyal customers coming to us. For example, our very first client, who appeared at the beginning of the creation of the service, is still with us. And that says a lot.

We try to carefully and responsibly treat all inquiries and requests, we personally communicate with each of the parents and are constantly in touch with them. We invite parents to our office to get to know them. We talk about us over a cup of tea, answer their questions. And you know, then it's not just customers anymore. They become our friends with whom we have a very warm relationship.

Is it possible to organize an escort for two or more children? If so, how is pricing policy regulated in this case?

We proceed from the fact that the attendants have only two hands, so we carry only two children at a time.

Even if families with many children ask us to put a third child in a car, we are categorically against this, since the main thing in our work is safety

For the second child, of course, there is an additional charge. Because the attendant works with two children at the same time.

Approximately how much do your services cost?

Our price is not calculated by the number of trips. We work only according to a pre-compiled schedule: for nine months of the year, children have at least an approximate schedule, lessons and studios end at the same time. Therefore, at the very beginning, the client and I draw up a schedule, enter all routes into our calculation system, and issue an invoice for the month, taking into account the number of trips, the distance between points, the area, and also the time that the accompanying person needs to spend working with the child. The cost of our services also includes insurance for the child, boosters and child seats, optimization of all routes.

We take payment a month in advance, so in some unforeseen situations, such as storm warnings and thunderstorms, which cannot be avoided and in which travel time with a child increases significantly, we do not raise the cost. Only in the summer we had a one-time test drive promotion so that new customers could try our service. But since autumn we have been working only according to the schedule. For those who want to roughly understand the price range, we have posted examples on the site with prices for Moscow districts, the number of children and the number of days per week for trips.

If several accompanying children are assigned, how do the children react to them? Does it happen that children refuse to go home with unfamiliar escorts?

No, we haven't had such problems yet. We have uniform standards for the recruitment of accompanying people in terms of driving experience, work experience, age, education, and so on. They know how to find mutual language with any child. Therefore, we only hire women with specialized education. Their task is to ensure the safety of the child on the road and look after him, help him get ready after training, dry his hair after the pool. Take care of their comfort. Therefore, two or three accompanying people distribute the schedule among themselves, and the children get used to them. All accompanying persons are instructed by us and they are all friendly and caring. Think of it like a personal driver.

Where do you look for employees and how do you select them?

Word of mouth, as in the case of customers, also works when searching for our employees. Those who work for us recommend our project to their colleagues with the same free schedule or to their girlfriends. Indeed, many middle-aged mothers who have preferred raising children to work and careers have free time and approach to children. They receive feedback from our wonderful children, they call us and are touched by their success. Very involved in work.

As for the selection, it is equivalent to the selection of personnel in serious large companies.

We do psychological testing. In addition, all our escorts undergo special trainings where we observe their work.

We fully vouch for the professionalism and experience of our employees.

How do you promote your project, which has no competitors yet and which itself is not yet very well known in the market?

When you make such a startup, you need to promote it very competently and smoothly so that the project does not suddenly become famous at a time when business processes have not yet been fully established. Otherwise, you will not be able to cope with the flow and disappoint customers. Therefore, we are still naturally growing our clientele with the help of recommendations and word of mouth, social networks and contextual advertising. We are gaining momentum gradually but surely. For example, we recently passed the acceleration of the IIDF (Internet Initiatives Development Fund - ed. note), received investments from the fund, as a result, they started talking about us in the press: they wrote on RBC, filmed a story on NTV.

Do you have plans to develop new services besides accompanying children?

We have found an excellent niche and do not plan to stop there. We receive a lot of requests for a franchise from the regions and countries of the near abroad, so it is possible that after a while we will expand our horizons and develop other markets. But in general, having studied the babysitting (that is, nannies) market, I understand that it is absolutely wild. It lacks a system of certification, inspections, training, and so on. Therefore, I would work in this direction. Maybe it will be something similar to the trade union of children's workers. But we are not talking about the next two years.
