Twitter mayhem!

Posted by Mark & Yasmin Roworth on May 27, 2011 at 9:10am

I have signed us up for Twitter @mprlandscapes.

Currently still getting to grips with it (more of a Facebook girl myself) and 'tweeting' other local business' seems to be going well gaining contacts and getting our name out there.

The one distraction I do have is with 'following' celebrities bringing out the inner stalker in myself (yes I am ashamed and nope I can't stop it) sorry.

Some how I don't think that knowing what Peter Andre is having for breakfast or what the horrific cast of The Only Way Is Essex are upto on their holidays(in Marbella if you must know) is going to help MPR Landscapes.

 

So now I am logging out of twitter and going to get back on with something productive such as pricing water features!

The only way to achieve realistic rates is price work, the customer will always have control of the cost along with a perception of what they "think" is a good hourly rate ( or bargain) . The odds…"

Do not negotiate rates with new customers what you want to charge is up to you, its not for them to set the rates you are offering the service. If you don't get what you need walk away to another that will…"

"I have an Efco self-propelled hand mower. I am not here to recommend Efco particularly, but rather the Honda engine that is fitted. The Honda engine is as sweet today as when I first bought the mower in, wait for it, 2005. So 19 years on and the…"

Yes, I think this is the problem with general gardening, the more horticultural mixed type of work. It is hard to justify very high hourly rates for pruning roses and planting borders. I can do and have done all of this type of work, but…"

"Hi Vic. Yes I realise that I'm not charging enough, even after 7 years of self employment (20 years in horticulture). I don't really do lawn only jobs, I prefer to do the whole garden, but still £20/hr isn't really enough. I recently got a new…"

Gadgets that were surprisingly useful: catcher on hedge trimmer
Impulse buys/ gadgets that turn out to be useful!Bought a Stihl catcher that is easy to put on/ remove.  It just slides on and off.    Helps when doing tops of hedges to bring down debris.  Would be perfect if longer.
