This article is actually an example of a simple yet, fantastic promoting plan. Pay close attention to how I went out and found new business at a period of the year when things are usually slow, and not only did I make $1,148.00, my friend Franky also made $1,060.00. This isn't like the internet Marketing opportunities you are use to, for example Todd Perkin's Bulletproof business blueprint review.

Because I chose to keep myself out of the rat race of landscaping new homes, I went after a market that was more of an impetuous type market. Therefore , when the house is done, folk are concerned to get it landscaped.

Since I wasn't in that market, and most rash gardening decisions are made in the spring, my business usually slowed down in the extraordinarily hot summer months.


i decided to do a test mailing to 350 house owners in an area where I knew the folk could afford landscaping services, but were not extremely rich. I mailed a letter to these 350 homes, and the letter basically said I could help them with any landscaping project that required done, and because my business was slow in the summer I could give them a very fair cost.

Of the 350 people that received the letter 3 called me. On one of the first two roles I made about $350. And on the other I made about $700. That is's net profit. That is how much I got to keep. Not bad at all considering this was only a part-time business for me. I had not even met this person yet.
the explanation he called is as he occurred to have a 60 unit studio building in the Cleveland area, and he required some trees or plants planted round the parking lot. The architect that he had been working with recommended Taxus Hicksi, which is an evergreen that is easily trimmed and maintained to a certain size. Though a fair price, that amounted to $4,664.00 because he required 106 plants.
After visiting the job site I spotted that Taxus Hicksi basically was about the best choice for this situation , so I told him I might see whether I could get a nicer price on the plants. I showed in a wholesale catalogue the wholesale price was $22.00 per plant, but mentioned that I'd be ready to find another source.


I knew that my chum Franky did at one previous point grow this plant, so I gave him a call. Turns out he did have 106 plants available, and was concerned to move many of them, he quoted me $10.00 each, balled in burlap. I called my customer and told him that I found good plants at a cheaper price, and I could actually deliver and plant them for $22.00 per plant, which is exactly half of what others had quoted him. He was happy, and i did the job. As an interesting point he asked me to install some further plants while I was there.
My client was so satisfied with the work we did that he asked me to come back the following week and do about another $700.00 worth of work. I made another $350.00 The following spring he employed me to re-landscape an older home that he had purchased, and I made another $600.00.

Remember the $175.00 that I spent to mail those 350 letters? The net profit on that mailing turned out to be about $2,973.00!!! And my mate Franky picked up $1,060.00 for the plants I acquired from him.


there are lots of alternative ways to make cash with plants, this is just one of them, I can show you plenty more. I've been making money with plants for over twenty-five years.
