Customers moving or dying of old age - seriously.

 

When the high-tech industry started shakin around here (we have Intel) there seemed to be a lot more people moving in and out of the area. So I'd loose several cutomers who moved out of state, but the new owners might just do their own work, skip it for a while or change service.

 

And my first years in business saw a lot of older people. Quite a few passed away.

 

This affected my advertising and how full my schedule was.

 

So in one way, properity for some trades did not mean properity for me. Some customers also upgraded to mini-mansions with cheap landscapes already included, needing no install work, nor pruning. Saw a lot of that happen.

 

 

 

If I did something like this, I'd say it can help readers learn to think outside the box.

Can see how thats a problem. Found the same thing in other customer based trades iv worked in the past.I would say about 5 of my older customers would die each year always seemed to lose a few over the winter.It is a shame to lose them, old customers are some of the best plenty of cups of coffee and in my expirience always quick to pay dont sit on the bill forever and a day like some people
