Getting Customers

The first step in starting a mowing business is to get yards to mow. Starting out this may be a very difficult task due to the fact that people are unaware of the quality of work you do. Start by advertising, post flyer's in heavily populated places and start your prices lower than normal to draw in people. Once you get a few yards and they see your quality of work, your business will spread like wildfire. If you get one customer that really enjoys your work and thinks that you do a great job, they may tell their friends and recommend you to other families in need of a lawn care expert. Offering incentives that can work into your favor is also a useful tool. For instance, offer a free round of fertilizing to make their grass grown bright green and thick. The customer thinks they are getting a great deal when in reality you will make loads of profits because you will have to mow their yard much more often. Little tips and tricks like theses will pull in customers and keep them calling you back to cut their grass. Have a good relationship with your customers, ask them what they would liketo see from you and how they would like their lawn mowed. Some people are very particular and some are not so particular but in either case, know the customer. At this point you can start to get your prices up to a competitive market and really start making some money. Keep the quality of your work high and the customers happy. If you follow this process you are sure to be Mowing for Money.
