This article is in fact a simple example so far, an excellent marketing plan. Pay close attention to how I went out and found new business at a time of year when things are normally slow, and not only did I make $ 1,148.00, my friend Frankie is also $ 1060.00.
I chose to keep me out of the rat race of the news landscape the house, and went after a market that was more of the market for the type of rush. New home landscaping is almost a necessity, since new homes do not have any shrubs or grass. Not only that, and housing projects require a lot of people really have to be landscaping done in a number of months from the time the transfer to their new homes. Therefore, when the house is done, people are eager to get on the landscape.
As I was not in this market, and decisions are made in most gardens in the spring rush, and the two generally slowed during the hot summer months. One year I decided to do a test market, just to see if I could gather up some work during the summer.
I decided to do a test mailing to 350 homeowners in an area where I knew people could afford landscaping services, but they were not very rich. Sent a letter to the houses 350, and the letter basically said that I could help them in any landscaping project that has been done, because my work was slow during the summer, I could give them quite a fair price.
Of 350 people who received this letter he called me 3. Immediately sold two jobs, and the third task is still open for discussion. On one of the first two jobs I've done about $ 350. Second, I made about $ 700. This is the net income. This is how I have to maintain it. Since the shipment costs less than 175 $., My profit was immediately spread on the $ 875. Not bad all things considered, it was only a part-time work for me. But remember that a third party. I had not even met this person.
The reason is described, it is because he happened to have a residential building of 60 units in the Cleveland area, and he needed some trees or shrubs planted around the parking area. Engineer suggested that he was working with Taxus Hicksi, which is evergreen that is easily cut and maintain a certain size. However, he wants all the landscapers he had spoken with Cleveland at about $ 44.00 each from these factories. Although the right price, which is valued at $ 4,664.00 because he needed to 106 stations.
And he called me because he was hoping I could find a less expensive plant to use. I said after a visit to the site, I realized that Taxus Hicksi was really the best option for this case, it would like to see if I could get a better price on the plants. I have shown that the sentence in the Bulletin of the wholesale price was $ 22.00 per plant, but said that you might be able to find another source.
I gave my friend Frankie knew at one time did not grow this plant in particular, has the call. Quoted show that he has 106 plants available, and were eager to move some of them, to me $ 10.00 each, at the ball in burlap. I called my client and told him that I found good plants at a lower price, and that I can offer and planting at $ 22.00 per plant, which is half of what exactly was quoted by others. He was happy, and it did work. As a matter of fact, I asked really to install some other plants while I was there.
I hired 3 men to help me do the job, and we had to do in one day. After paying for the plants, and pay my help, and I actually $ 1,148.00 a job in one day. Asked my client was very pleased with the work we have done, for me to come back next week and do about $ 700.00 value of the work. I made another $ 350.00 and the following spring he hired me to re-landscape an old house he had bought, and I made another $ 600.00.
Remember I spent $ 175.00 to send those messages 350? Proved that the net profit on this position to be about $ 2973.00! Frankie and chose my friend up to $ 1,060.00 for the plants that I bought from him. They had 350 people chose private? No, were not. Every city in America has at least 350 people, like them, and perhaps thousands of others.
There are many ways to make money with plants, and it is only one of them, I can show you much more than that. I have to make money with factories for more than 25 years.
