New Franchise
#22
Since you are in the Pittsburg area where it is densely populated and you can serve the communities surrounding you, I think if you market it well, you should be able to find that many people would be delighted to have this service done for them. I know that my +1 would be beside himself with glee if he didn't have to put the few lights out that we use!! Decorating for the Holiday season has become one of those "keeping up with the Jones' " type things, so I suspect you can enterprise on that.

It sounds like a lot of money to me. My experience with upscale clients is that even those who can afford to pay for services don't like paying the price. You should hear some of the whining that I get when I charge my clients, who can well afford to pay, for their tax returns.
I hope you do well, but I'm curious to see how many people are willing to pay for this service. I think it might be a hard sell at an average of $1,400 per house.

It may seem expensive, but if you calculate the cost of the emergency room visit and the Orthopedic Surgeon, it is probably a pretty good deal.
I wouldn't pay it this year, but the time is getting near....
I find weighing the medical expenses against the cost to pay someone else to perform certain tasks, divided by the risk involved, has become my criteria for outsourcing.

On the other hand, I imagine that the investment into this franchise isn't so great as to require a great deal of business to break even.

.....We would decorate the house, check the house throughout the season, remove and store the lights for the following year. The average cost for this service is $1,400.00. What do you think? ....
Good luck with the rich folks, who would be finding a good use for the tax break handed to them by Uncle George (and I don't mean Washington )
