Finally, a thorough startup manual for those seeking to
open a junk hauling business has been authored and released.
"The Definitive Guide to Starting a Junk Hauling Business on Craigslist" is a step by step guide to starting a junk hauling service on the busiest forum for junk hauling in every major city--Craigslist.
Covered in the guide:
-How to get permits
-What equipment to buy
-What to charge
-How to minimize landfill and dump fees by recycling and donating the majority of your hauls
-The 5 things you must do on every job to ensure repeat business and maximize referrals
-How to get recurring business from contractors, construction companies, and property managers
-The items and substances you cannot legally haul
Not only are marketing strategies discussed, but the guide includes an actual craigslist website for Internet promotion and a professionally produced glossy flyer for distribution at job sites.
A professionally designed Craigslist ad comes with each purchase: just change your name and phone number and post to Craigslist each morning. Haulers typically have unattractive ads with misspellings and grammar errors. A well produced ad is going to attract calls!
Also included is a full color glossy flyer template. Print out hundreds and hand out at least 5 on each job.
Junk hauling is one of the easiest small businesses to get into: costs are minimal and the work is not sophisticated (almost everyone has hauled a truck full of junk to the landfill in their lifetime). After reading this startup guide, the reader can be open for business with actual customers in less than 24 hours.
