just like to get some opinions about a 'yearly mowing schedule' that i'm going to attatch to my quotes. with a bit of rain about brissie work should start picking up. i want to educate my new customers & convert old ones of this new schedule i will be following.
'yearly mowing schedule'
To have a great looking lawn it needs to be mowed regularly year round.
The great benefits of a regular mow are:
1. A great looking lawn being maintained by a professional contractor.
2. A cheaper rate than a casual cut.
3. Piece of mind about your lawn maintenance.
4. Priority is given to regular customers over the casuals – especially at X-mas.
5. No wasted time calling & chasing a mowing contractor every time you need a mow.
6. Gardening 1hr min. for regulars & not 2hr for casual customers.
The Schedule
Mowing every two weeks from September to April & every three to four weeks from May to August. Any mowing outside the schedule will became a casual mow. A price increase on the next mow will occur. When a casual needs a mow, it can be only done when all regulars are serviced & when we can fit you in our mowing schedule. Prices subject to change at anytime. Payment by cheque add $5.50 fee. Payment by PayPal add $2.20 fee.
Regards
it's not a signed contract. just something to have in writing for their benefit. does anyone else do this or only verbally tell the customer. if they don't like the schedule well they convert back to a casual rate which can be variable due to condition of their lawn.
is this too much info for them? would it scare them off? pita's may not take the quote(good thing).
any suggestions, critical remarks & comments would be much appreciated.
cheers
