Greetings!

 

A recent study by the Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) performed by Harris Interactive shared some important information that you need to remember in your marketing efforts.

When asked the question "What are the main reasons you or other members of your household hire a professional help for lawn/landscape services?", consumers noted some important reasons.

33% reported they don't have enough time for landscape tasks
42% reported they lacked the right tools or equipment for the job
31% said they wanted a "professional look"
15% said they lacked the patience to complete yard task.

Remember you're in the business of making it easy and hassle-free for customers to get a landscape they love. 

Don't under-sell the value you bring.  

Choose the customers who are right for your services and get paid fairly for what you do!
