OK being from Sarasota I have to say I like it and you have given me an idea,
But I have to ask,, $25 a cut?????? This to me is suicide I stoped doing that 2 years ago for all I got where low ball calls and property's I couldn't make any up sells off of.
I have also found you WILL go bankrupt in the winter for unless your only cutting irrigated st Augustine,
Asking for $85-$150 monthly for that type of property you will go FARE!!!!! And winter wont hurt half as bad!

But hay this is just my 2 cents!

Really like the idea and if you would please P,M, me a contact for newspaper add.

the 25 per cut is for the property size of the homes in stoneybrook @ venice (1000-2000sf lots after the house). just mow trim blow and go.

Let me make sure I understand. $2700 includes printing and distribution to 66k homes? Thats an incredible value. Great job.

Yup thats the way to do it , but even at stony brook I would think it would be e z to get those customers on a contracted flat rate, but hay to reach there owen.

Ouch.. Are you sure that you didn't mail them all to snow-birds. Because they have all left already. j/k

I hope you get more calls... Be patient, they flow in, especially when the rains start to hit and the grass is out of control.:usflag:
