Here come the winter again and the low ballers are at it again. These guys go door to door(residential) and hang an ad on the door or mail box that reads- Snow plowing starts at $20.00* when you sign a 2 season contract with Land*rt today! Call 715 359 @@@@ to sign up!
When you flip it over the fine print says its 20 bucks for 1 month or 5 plowings, after that it goes to the regular price of $45.00 per service and you just signed up for spring, summer and fall maintainence of your lawn also. If you want out of the 2 yr contract its $650.00 in the first yr, in the second you have to pay a $400.00 cancellation fee.
Now thats in about #6 size on Microsoft Word and everyone here at R&L( even my 14 yr old daughter) needed a magnifying glass to read it and we lost 8 good customers to this headache.
Then again, Maybe we should do something like this also, as maybe you just get enough to pay bills the first month but after that your getting $5 more that starting rate of most others here($40) and you'll be able to tell the complainers to go somewhere else 'cause you make the cancellation fee anyhow plus your bound to keep 10% for yr-round work also.
Any one else care to comment on this?
