Grave Care Business – A Low Competition, Niche Business

 

Grave care is a low competition niche business.

I remember a business strategy class I took in college.  The instructor continually maintained that competition is good.  While I agreed with him on the basic factors of the need for competition, in the back of my head I was always thinking: “yes, but a monopoly is better.”

Why is competition good?  Competition breeds innovation.  Competition draws on synergy to create public awareness about a product.

Why is a monopoly better?  Especially for an entrepreneur in a niche business, dominance in a particular product or service allows the entrepreneur to focus on product development, service delivery, and customer relationships.

Some competition is good.  However, in most communities we have visited and studied across the United States (and some of Europe) there is very little competition to this business.  Look around your area.  Can you find anyone offering grave care services?

If you have ever thought about offering Grave Care Services, now is an excellent time to start.  Be the first (or one of the first) in your community to offer grave care services.  Being one of the first gives you a special opportunity to dominate your market segment and quickly build your client base.

We have developed a Grave Care Business course that will help you start and operate a successful Grave Care Business.

Autumn Grave Care and Cemetery Maintenance

Grave Care and Maintenance during Autumn
Autumn Grave Care & Cemetery Maintenance

As much as I love springtime, summer, (and even winter) I REALLY LOVE autumn weather and its beauty as its color unfolds in our local cemeteries.

The trees in our area of the country will show their full autumn colors in a few weeks.  The golden glow in the air and the crisp crunch underfoot makes me so happy that I am able to spend my days working my business in such beautiful surroundings.

Autumn presents many opportunities if you run your own grave care maintenance business.   Not only are there leaves to clear away from cemetery plots, this is also a good time to perform needed small landscaping projects desired by your customers.  You will be called upon to replace summer floral grave decorations with autumn color themes and, if photography and videography is part of your service offerings, the next few months are absolutly perfect to get fantastic photographs and video.

If you have ever thought about starting your own Grave Care & Grave Site Maintenance Business, right now is perfect time to get started.  We have developed a comprehensive Grave Care Business program that will teach you practically everything you could want to know about starting and operating a successful business.

Grave Care Maintenance for Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is one of the best weekends of the year for anyone involved in the Grave Care Maintenance Business.

Hi Everyone.  I hope you are all having a great spring and that your Grave Care Business  is going great guns so far this year.

I just want to take a couple minutes to jump on here to remind you that Mother’s Day is this weekend (May 05, 2010).  Mother’s Day is one of the best weekends of the year for anyone involved in the Grave Care Maintenance Business. 

Spring is a time of heavy grass growth.  If you are performing plot maintenance for your customers, this is a perfect weekend to acquire new customers and add addition services to your current customers’ contracts.  Also many people want decorations placed at their Mother’s grave site so it looks good all weekend, especially on Sunday.  Your floral supplier should be able to stock you with plenty of decoration for your customers.  Also, remember to speak with your floral suppliers on Monday.  Many of them will be left with excess inventory that they will sell you at a great discount.  You can pass the savings along to your customers next week.

As you are attracting new customers this weekend, don’t neglect to speak with them about yearly contracts and your package deals for holidays.  

If you haven’t yet started your Grave Care Business or if you are just looking for some guidance on running your business and making more money, check out our Grave Care Business package on our main webpage:

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

he wants to start a Grave Care Maintenance Business

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

We received a telephone call over the weekend from a retired gentleman who is interested in starting his own Grave Care Maintenance Business

After a full and long career he wants to start a Grave Care Maintenance Business to help many of his acquaintances that can no longer care for their loved-one’s grave sites.  General plot maintenance, floral decorating, and research of old cemeteries are his main interested.  We spoke for a few minutes of his reason for starting the business.  He wants to stay active in his 70’s and into his 80’s. 

This man is an inspiration and it made me think about the poem by Dylan Thomas “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night.”  The poem speaks of our need to rage against becoming old.  We should not quietly relinquish the fire that burns in young men’s eyes. 

For this gentleman, starting a business caring for burial plots and providing cemetery cleanup services will keep his fire burning.

To read Dylan Thomas’ poem, visit Poets.org: Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night.

R.I.P. Benjamin Franklin – April 17, 1790

If you are looking to augment your means with added income by starting your own business, you should think about starting your own Grave Care Business.

Benjamin Franklin died today, April 17, in 1790 at the age of 84.

Franklin was a lifelong student of politics, science, and the philosophy of personal finance. There is much wisdom in Franklin’s written works. From Poor Richard’s Almanack to The Pennsylvania Gazette he encouraged the individual’s right to pursue happiness. One of Franklin’s noblest undertakings was to help the common man (and the elitist, alike) realize his own power in breaking the bonds of want.

One of my favorite quotes from Benjamin Franklin:

There are two ways of being happy: We must either diminish our wants or augment our means – either may do – the result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and to do that which happens to be easier.

Both ingredients of this quote are discussed in our Grave Care Business program. If you are looking to augment your means with added income by starting your own business, you should think about starting your own Grave Care Business. This is a rewarding and fulfilling business.

Maintaining a neglected cemetery.

you are interested in maintaining the historic value of cemeteries you should think about starting a Grave Care Maintenance Business.

A recent news article caught out attention over the Memorial Day weekend. The news article concerns a cemetery in West Virginia that is not being taken care of properly.

Most notable is the claim that the cemetery’s grounds maintenance crew is improperly handling their lawn care equipment and causing damage to tombstones.

If you have read our Grave Care Business program you know the importance of proper lawn equipment handling to eliminate damage done to grave markers by lawn mowers and weedeaters. Grave stone are easily damaged by lawn equipment and the grounds crew at this cemetery should be trained in proper procedure.

The news article also highlights, at least in our minds, the need for a Grave Care Company in this West Virginia town. Look at the heartache of the families that have loved-ones buried at this cemetery. They shouldn’t have to face damaged tomb stones and poorly maintained grave sites. Families hurt by improper grave care from a cemetery company are willing to pay good money to an outside company to properly care for these grave sites.

If you are thinking about starting a small business in your community and if you are interested in maintaining the historic value of cemeteries you should think about starting a Grave Care Maintenance Business.  You may never have thought about a Grave Care Business.  There is much more to this business than grounds maintenance and you can build a lucrative business offering many Grave Site related services.  Visit our home page to learn how you can get started with your own Grave Care Business.

Father’s Day Gifts and Services

In my family, we often perform services for one another instead of buying the latest gadget at a department store that won’t be used anyway and ends up being a waste of money.  Services for Fathers day used to include mowing the lawn or giving him a day alone just to watch sports on TV.  He always appreciated quiet time.  I even remember one year as gift to my Father I installed a shower head that had awaited installation for 6 months.  Sometimes the services were a big hit and it was always a great feeling knowing I had given him something he truly cherished.

How-to Run a “GREEN” Grave Care Business

Small businesses are rewarded by providing their services in an environmentally friendly manner. Grave care is no exception.

Small businesses are rewarded by providing their services in an environmentally friendly manner.  Grave care is no exception.

If you have read our Grave Care Business materials you know important we feel it is to operate your business as environmentally friendly as possible.  By saying this, we are not eco-fanatics.  However, we believe an eco-friendly business will be looked on favorably by your comunity, loved by your customers, and cost less money to operate.

The Grave Care Business program outlines many different services to offer your customers.  Today, we are giving you a brief overview of ways to make the landscape maintenance side of your business environmentally sound.

1)  Lawn Mower

If you Grave Care business normally does single plots, you will find it beneficial to use a push-style reel mower.  Reel mowers do not use gasoline thereby eliminating ozone destroying pollution.  Since they do not have engines they they practically producs no sound.  For larger areas and entire cemetery clean-ups feel free to use a powered mower but for single plots a reel mower is a great choice to cut the grass.

2)  Weedeater or String Trimmer

There aren’t many effective non-powered options to trim weeds.  Since 2-cycle engines are some of the most polluting lawn care equipment engines, if you are in the market for a weedeater, seriously consider purchasing a battery operated or a propane powered weedeater.  We have personally tested several models of battery and propane powered models.  The Lehr propane powered line trimmer is our favorite.  Though it is noisy like many weedeaters, it produces very low emissions and it runs for two hours on a 1 lb. bottle of propane.  As always, use caution with string trimmers around tombstones and grave markers.  The string can damage these stones.

3)  Plan your routes

Plan your routes so trips to the same cemetery coincide with each other.  Travel time is a huge waste of your resources.  Plan your jobs so all jobs in the same cemetery are performed on the same day.  One trip is much less wasteful than three or four trips.

These are just a few tips on how you can “green” your Grave Care business.  For our entire Grave Care Business package, visit our home page at:  GraveCareBusiness.com
