*HOW TO MAKE MONEY WITH YOUR OWN ERRAND SERVICE BUSINESS and *People are busier than ever and the world around them hasn't changed. *Grocerys still need to be bought, deliveries still need to be made, gifts *still need to be bought, etc. You can take advantage of the needs of these *hyper-busy people by running an ERRAND SERVICE. and *In essence, what you do is run errands for people and get paid for it. *Think it sounds like a kid's business? Well, you won't make kid money! *If you are in a good sized metropolitan area with steady clients, you can *make $15, even $20, an hour! and *You won't need much to start off with. You'll, of course, need a reliable *car or, better yet, a van. The only real expenses at the start are: *business cards and business stationery; a pager; and postage. Make a *list of large businesses in your area, ones with large numbers of well-paid *executives, such as banks, headquarters of large manufacturers, etc. You *should then compose a letter detailing your services. List as many *timesaving services as you can think of: grocery pickup, dry-cleaning *delivery and pickup, post office errands, gift-shopping services, food *pickup and delivery, etc. and *Note: Don't transport people or children unless you have the proper *licenses. Also, if you delivery messages, there may be state utility *regulations you'll need to check into. Emphasize to these people how *they will BENEFIT from your service: more time, less worries, less stress. and *Be competitive with your pricing. Call other delivery services in the *area and find out what they charge, whether hourly or by the job. Make *your prices competitive and your services personal, and you'll get the edge. and *Four other good ideas for publicizing your services: advertise in charity *event publications that are read by executives; get permission to post *your business card at dry cleaners, grocery stores, bakeries, upscale food *stores and delis, etc.; produce press releases about your services *showcasing a unique aspect of your business, i.e. you specialize in *delivering wedding cakes, for example, and get them to all the newspapers *and local magazines in the area; and notify senior citizen organizations *about the services you offer. and *Hints: Know your way around your area extremely well so you can plan the *quickest route to efficiently accomplish all your errands. Be assertive, *both with potential clients and with places you are visiting for a client. *Be friendly, and you'll get more return business. Also, be confidential in *respect for your clients. and *If you're willing to hustle, you can make it in the errand business. Once *you get that first steady client, if you're good, you can count on word-of- *mouth business. Then you'll really be rolling! and and and |
