Looking for a way to boost your income by working with plants? Here's a simple yet powerful marketing strategy that not only generated me $1,148 in a single day, but also helped my friend Franky earn $1,060.
Instead of competing in the crowded field of new home landscaping?"a market driven by necessity and often required by housing developments?"I targeted a more spontaneous customer base. Typically, my business sees a slowdown in the hot summer months as most impulsive gardening decisions occur in spring. So, I decided to test some innovative marketing strategies to drum up summer business.
I started by mailing a personalized letter to 350 homeowners in an area where people could afford landscaping services but weren’t excessively wealthy. The letter offered my services at a reasonable price due to the slower summer season.
From this mailing, I received three inquiries. I quickly secured two jobs, netting around $350 from one and $700 from the other?"making my total net profit $875 after deducting the $175 mailing cost. And remember, this was just a part-time venture for me.
But the real opportunity came from the third caller. He owned a 60-unit apartment building in Cleveland and needed trees or shrubs planted around the parking lot. Although he had already been quoted $44 per plant by local landscapers, bringing the total to $4,664 for the 106 Taxus Hicksi plants, he hoped I could offer a more affordable alternative.
Upon visiting the site, I agreed that Taxus Hicksi was the best option. I showed him a wholesale catalog listing the plant at $22 but promised to look for a better price. I contacted Franky, who had the plants in stock and was eager to sell them at $10 each. I then offered to deliver and plant them for $22 each?"half the price of other quotes.
Delighted by the offer, the customer hired me. I completed the job with a team of three helpers in one day. After covering the costs, I earned $1,148 from this single project. Pleased with the quality of work, the client also requested additional services worth $700, yielding an extra $350 for me. The following spring, he again hired me for a re-landscaping project, where I earned another $600.
Reflecting on the $175 spent for the mailing, the net profit totaled approximately $2,973. Meanwhile, Franky gained $1,060 for the plants I sourced from him. The 350 recipients weren't particularly unique?"every town has similar opportunities waiting to be tapped.
There are countless ways to profit from landscaping, and this is just one example. With over 25 years of experience, I have plenty more strategies to share.
