The cloth roll towel business can be compared to a great old idea that solves many problems, but because it has been around for a long time, many people think it can't be very good. Add that to the past poor attitude, and lack of promotion by the Australian Laundry Industry, and you can have a poor image of a great product. It is your task to present the AUS Cotton Cabinet Towel Service, as a "today" product, solving many realised and unrealised problems that are being experienced by potential clients, and presenting real opportunities for cost savings and ecological benefits.
