Once you
have the idea settled upon to "Start a post hole dig and set company",
the hard part of starting is making your phones ring.
For Post Hole Auguring you
can start with a small 1 man augur machine. Self propelled machines are
obviously best, however you need to research the machines before you
buy. Most Gates are 36-42" at the side of homes, so you may want to
have a machine that is roughly 42" wide if you are working inside
fenced yards.
You
will need a trailer to move the post hole auguring machine and a few
extra on call guys to come and help dig. When you hit a rock you
obviously need to remove them.
Now, to make the phone ring.
You can put the little signs all
over telephone poles, however many areas they are removing them as fast
as you put them up so often they are a waste of money.
Telephone Book - Yellow Pages
listings are incredibly expensive, and that does little more than a
directory listing on line... it just puts you in contact with shoppers.
Part of running a thriving business is maintaining a good profit
margin. Market share for the Yellow Pages and Phone Directories has
been shrinking since the arrival of the internet.
I found last years
phone book a few days ago...still in it's plastic bag.
I didn't even check the local area to see if there were new
builders. It is safe to say that the internet generates far more
referrals than any directory on it's own.
A word listing in the phone book
is all you need... along with a commercial line which comes with one
free listing.
