you have to consider all your costs.....how much money will you have to spend to get that first customer?
He other model is to charge $100/capture or $50/capture. Regardless, some people will think that is expensive.
That is so true. It boils down to, what are people willing to pay for nuisance wildlife removal in your area? And, as I am finding out, that figure can differ greatly between small geographical areas. As a new operator, I am eager to get my name out there, and am utilizing several networking and advertising options. But in the end, I cannot work for free, and working cheaper than others (low-balling) is not a good business practice either, so I try to think of it this way. We are not just trappers, we are problem solvers, and it is a craft, just like any other. And I say this with experience, as I am a licensed electrical contractor and master electrician... and this trade of wildlife damage control is much harder than doing electrical work, so people should be charged accordingly. You should be compensated for your skill set.
Dave K... you have a very impressive website. And, I appreciate all of your posts, as well as those of many of the regulars on this sub-forum.
