As social as we are with our customers, making chatting and small talk, being personal and down to earth part of our package when people hire us ; did you know we have about 12 customers WE HAVE NEVER MET FACE TO FACE?
They found us over the Internet, hired us to maintain their property while they are out of town or never home for one reason or another and pay via PayPal or CC.
Just thought that was interesting.
Mowlitia - definition :
An organized group or cell of people who mow voluntarily and unpaid for those who need a helping hand. Usually it is elderly who cannot afford the help, widows or handicap folks.
The mowlitia targets their property with tactical precision and timing, usually done when the home owner is not present so they come home to a tidy lawn and don't know who done it.
In our local "cell" it is 4 or 5 lawn care providers who pitch in all at once to lessen the burden on one company alone, splitting it among the group.
I encourage other LCO's who have the extra time ( and resources ) to form your own mowlitia group locally.
I've decided to use Chester ( the mower that died ) as a lawn ornament.
Yes, I'm serious.
No, I'm not joking.
Going to get spray paint cans of every different color I can get my hands on, invite friends, family and neighborhood kids to come "tag" the mower after having completely removed the engine and fuel from it.
After drying, build a flower bed around it with tons of flowers, mulch and rock to contain it all.
