Increasing Business Opportunities

Our summer sales in some areas are off to a slower start than we’d like, primarily due to wacky weather and an unstable economy. But in other areas, such as on the equipment side, we are having a fantastic season because of the big push for battery-powered equipment. Our nursery sales are also doing well. This reminds me of the old truism: “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” Landscape Warehouse offers a broad range of irrigation supplies and equipment for landscapers as well as a full line of plants, trees, and other nursery products from our nursery locations. This gives us a sound business foundation year ‘round.

Just like the water restrictions brought the landscape industry new business with irrigation system and controller changes, the ditching of loud and odor causing gasoline-powered equipment – and the replacing of it with quiet, odorless, and more efficient battery-operated versions – will most certainly improve your standing with your customers, which could lead to more business and increased fees you can charge.

When one aspect of your business is a little low, look to another aspect to make up the difference. If you don’t have another aspect, start one. Works for us!
