is it just me or are things very quiet?

[Adam]

Just wondering if its just my area or what. the phones have been quiet for a week or so now and i have a few days untill the end of next month. im really starting to worry as people seem to be just not having tree work done.

 

i have even dropped my prices !!

 

anyone else experiencing this?

It went quiet for me a short while back but things have picked up well since then so my advice would be not to worry, sit tight and dont under price too much.....

I had almost nothing through July. Been busy almost every available day in august. Got work for the next week or two keeping things ticking over

i havnt dropped my prices much, but its jhust so quiet at the moment and after my next couple of jobs im out of work.......nt good atall.

Really quiet here, back to 3 days a week which im struggling to live on tbh. Keep getting local companies sending our house hold letters advertising there work. One offered to do free written tree surveys.

3 days a week. im lucky to be getting 1 day a week at the moment. thats how bad its got.

 

but i dont have many overheads at the moment luckily.

Free tree reports?? thats mad. probably not insured to do so.

We have a bank Holiday weekend this weekend, a lot of people are away in hols. Plus they dont always want you in their gardens with sharps with kiddies around. I wouldnt fret about it, just get out and about handing out flyers, cards and so on.

i think im running out of houses to flier haha. i will just have to carry on and hope something comes of it. problems of owning a buisness and only being 20. ahh well. hope it picks up for everyone.

old folk with money will do things when they are ready but folk with kids will have spent a lot of money on holidays and school stuff for the kids, so you will have to wait for them to save up their pennies again.

ive been pretty quiet since beginning of july, not convinced its going to pick up anytime soon. the real recession is only just beginning IMO, last years supposed recession was a farce. The months following christmas are going to be particularly rough i think
