A short YouTube video by Mike Andes offering practical sales strategies for generating revenue in the off-season by selling recurring maintenance services to existing mowing customers (biweekly visits). He lists winter/low-growth tasks such as occasional mowing, blowing walkways, picking up branches, trimming bushes, pulling weeds, edging lawns, clearing gutters, and applying salt when icy.
What can we do if we can't mow the grass and it doesn't snow? Well, we can sell maintenance through the off season to our mowing customers and say, hey, we're going to come to your property every two weeks. The grass might not be growing much, so maybe we mow it once or twice. We're going to be doing all these other services, blowing off your walkways, picking up branches, trimming bushes, pulling weeds, edging the lawn, making sure that we get any of the gutters that might be filled out. If it's really icy or gets really cold, we'll put some salt down. These are the winter services that we sell on a recurring basis throughout the winter.
