GopherHaul 18 - Winter Lawn
Care Entrepreneur Business
Ideas & Customer Retention

In this episode of GopherHaul
we discuss winter lawn care
business marketing ideas.

Hello everyone and welcome to
Gopherhaul!
If you haven't started your
business yet, what are you
waiting for. If you don't
start your business this year,
you'll be at least 1 year
older when you do so get
started today!

GopherHaul is a show for
entrepreneurs and new business
owners. In it we discuss
business tips and tricks we
have learned over the years
and share with you some real
world experiences on how to
help your lawn care business
or any other business grow.

In this episode we will be
talking about:

- We added a new section on
the forum called Women's
business issues.

- One of our forum members and
entrepreneurs, Sarah did two
things this season to really
make her business stand out.
First off she got out there in
the public eye and put herself
in her marketing material and
second off she has started a
toy drive to help collect toys
for underprivileged children
and promote her business at
the same time.

- I am now signed up with
Chestin's Lawn Care Champion's
Circle. Now I don't want to
give any of his secrets away
because he makes his money on
teaching but there was an
interesting part in one of
Chestin's marketing
discussions I wanted to point
out. Chestin was talking with
one of our forum members Barry
and he was telling Chestin how
everytime he seems to sign up
a new customer, another
customer seems to leave so his
net gain is zero. Do you ever
find this happening as well?
Well just to find the answer
in this would be well worth
you signing up for Chestin's
program. Even if you sign up
for a month to simply check it
out. You will find an answer
on how to deal with this and
you might want to stay on for
all the new information he
posts.

cott from leisuretimellc found
to deal with this

- Another forum member Scott
from leisuretimellc advises
business owners to talk to
their clients. He had talked
to an elderly customer and
found out her mowing day is
the day before her trash day
so he puts out the garbage
cans for her and she gives him
and extra $25 tip each month
to do that. This is how he
keeps his customers.

- Our lawn care business forum
member Keith, also made a
great seasonal service tip.
This tip is especially
important for those in the
Northern sections of the
country. During rainy winter
days it is important to keep
gutters free of leaves. If
gutters are clogged, rain will
pool in the gutters. Then, at
night when the temperature
drops, the water will freeze
and back up into the over
hangs. This action will
damage the overhang allowing
more water to enter the
woodwork. The wood will rot.


Once problems begin, repairs
can be very expensive. It is
important and beneficial for
lawn care companies to warn
their customers of this
potentially damaging problem.
A quick $100 gutter job can
save the homeowner thousands
of dollars down the road.

We also have created a free
flyer for you to promote this
service which you can download
and edit.

- If you don't like heights,
maybe consider getting this
gutter cleaning robot!
