Grave Care – Father’s Day and July 4th 2013

Summer is a busy month for grave care.

Hi Everyone:

This is Keith with Grave Care Business. The year is flying by and I just want to make note of the great opportunities in Grave Care for the rest of the summer.

If you already own your own Grave Care Business, I hope you took advantage of Mother’s Day and Memorial Day. .

Mother’s day brought heavy demand for floral decorations and plot beautification. Now is not a time to rest, though, since we have a few busy months ahead.

Father’s Day is Sunday June 16.
Independence Day is Thursday July 4.

While these two days garner enough demand for grave care services by themselves, they are coupled with the fact that we are now into the summer upkeep season. Grass is growing out of control, weeds are invading (and in some cases destroying) grave markers, and shrubs around grave plots are in dire need of proper pruning. Add this to normal grave care services such as floral decorations, tombstone cleaning, and documentation efforts such as photography and cemetery mapping, and we have a very busy few months ahead of us.

Grave care is a wonderful niche business and summer is a great time to establish a solid customer base before we move into the busy autumn months of grave care.

If you have ever wanted to start a Grave Care Business but you don’t know where to begin, we have developed a comprehensive Grave Care Business Course designed to help you start and operate a successful Grave Care Business.

Grave Decorations and Plot Maintenance for Father’s Day

Father’s Day is Sunday June 17, 2012.

Traditionally, Father’s Day is one of the busier times for Grave Care Companies. Father’s day is an opportunity for family members to visit their father’s grave site and pay respects to him.

While Mother’s Day brings many requests for floral decorations, we have always seen increased “utilitarian” requests for services around Father’s Day. These services include grass mowing (in non-managed cemeteries), detailed trimming, general plot maintenance, and tombstone cleaning.

There are likely reasons for duty oriented tasks on Father’s Day versus Mother’s Day. Father’s Day occurs later in the summer season. Since grass has already had an opportunity to creep over tombstones, detailed trimming at this time of year greatly enhances the looks of a gravesite. Dusty summer conditions have also begun to take their toll and proper cleaning of gravestones is better accomplished when the weather is warm but not too hot.

There are still many requests for grave site flower decorations on Father’s Day. However, Grave Care Companies that offer plot maintenance services in addition to floral decorations should see a great increase in business over the next several weeks.

If you have ever thought about starting a Grave Care Service Business, we have developed a comprehensive training tutorial and business package. Please visit our main website (link above) for more information and ordering instructions.

Father’s Day: 6-21-2009 Grave Care

Around the country this year there are millions of families who have lost their Fathers. Though their Fathers have passed on, they can still buy a perfect Father’s Day present.

What is your experience shopping for Father’s Day?

Whether your experience is fun (because your Dad is easy to shop for) or hard (because he already has everything he needs and he’s not hip to new things) you know how good it feels when he truly appreciates what you have bought (or done) for him.

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.

Grave Care is the Perfect Gift

Around the country this year there are millions of families who have lost their Fathers.  Though their Fathers have passed on, they can still buy a perfect Father’s Day present.

If you have read our Grave Care Business Program you already know the importance of special days for your customers.  Father’s Day is a perfect example of a time when you can advertise special services and promotions for your business.  Don’t lose sight of the fact that grounds maintenance, photography, and Father’s Day Card (message delivery) services are very much in demand for Father’s Day.  Your Grave Care Maintenance customers may not be aware that you offer these services.  Elderly spouses may not be able to physically visit their husband’s gravesite.  Younger family members may have moved away and are not able to visit the gravesite nearly as much as they wish.  These are the customers you need to cater to.  They are the ones truly in need of your services.
Start your Grave Care Maintenance promotions now to let you current and prospective customers know of all the services you offer specifically for Father’s Day.
