Open or enclosed landscape trailer? – GopherHaul Lawn Care Business Marketing Forum Show

www.gopherforum.com When most landscapers start up their business, they tend to start with a truck only. Then later they may add an open trailer. At a certain point you may be asking yourself whats better to have, an open or enclosed trailer and why? Thats the question one of our new forum members asked and he quite a few responses I think will help you make up your mind as well. Brandon Hi everyone my name is Brandon and I am the president of my own landscape & maintenance corp. I have been in business for 9 years and hope to find continued success long into the future. I was wondering if anyone could provide me with some positive and negative attributes of an enclosed trailer as opposed to an open utility trailer to move lawn care equipment from job to job? I have an open trailer now and I am thinking of making the switch over to an enclosed one. Keith: I can think of a few pros and cons of the top of my head. Pros: – Ability to lock. – Protection from rain. – Larger area to put name/logo/phone number. – Looks more professional. – Possible increased slipstreaming giving better gas milage (offset by weight, Im sure). – Ability to put shelves/storage areas. – Protects cargo from rocks kicked up by your truck. – Winter storage. Cons: – Increased cost. – Increased axle and tongue weight. – Inability to load from top (leaves, mulch, dirt). This is the biggest negative I can think of. – Doesnt air out well when mower has wet grass or fuel fumes. – Reduced freedom of movement

Home Based Business Ideas | Legitimate Home Based Business

www.bestgoodinfo.com — The Best Way – Home Based Business Ideas Having a home based business allows you to have the freedom to work when you want and where you want. Like opening any new business, a home based business can be risky, so it’s important to be fully knowledgeable about home based business ideas and opportunities. 1. Do your research of top home based businesses – Just like starting any business, it’s important to do your research. Start by looking into what top home based businesses are all about. 2. Conduct industry research – Like any start up business, it’s vital to do research on the industry you’re about to get yourself into. How is the overall industry outlook? Is there a need for my product or service? What is my target market? What is the average pay to an employee within the job? These are all important questions to ask before committing yourself to a home based business idea. 3. Go in with a plan – Even if you’re working for yourself or hiring others to work for you, always go in with a carefully laid out plan. For example, you’ve decided accounting sounds like the right home based business. However, you don’t have any form of industry specified skill or certification. It’s important to be realistic about your own skills and talents or the skills and talents of your potential employees.
