Although the nights are still slightly chilly, daytime sunshine and warmth tell us that springtime is here.
With the change in season comes an increased need for work in your local cemeteries. Plot maintenance, gravestone cleaning, and floral decoration change-outs are much needed services right now.
If you already own a Grave Care Business, you are probably looking for ways to really jump-start your business and get the money really rolling in again. Springtime is the perfect opportunity for you to get a big boost in revenue.
We recommend visiting all of your current clients and the grave sites that you already maintain. Check for issues that cropped up over the winter months such as plot maintenance issues (drainage, erosion, etc.)
or damage that might have occurred to the gravestones. Often, during the winter and spring, weather and high winds cause branches to drop from trees onto grave markers.
Sometimes, there is no damage to the gravestones and you simply need to perform a plot cleanup. Other times, heavy branches can cause damage that you will have to assess.
Keep notes as you make your rounds of your current clients. Then, at the end of the day, take a few minutes to contact your clients and let them know of what is needed for their loved-ones grave sites.
Our Grave Care Business Course gives you great “Customer Contact” tools to help you with these tasks.
If you haven’t, yet, started your Grave Care Business, spring is a perfect time to start. I invite you to read through our website to learn about the Grave Care Business Course that will help you start and grow your very own Grave Care Business.
If you ever have any questions, please let us know. We love cemeteries and are always happy to help.
