Once you have an established base in services, begin to offer the up-sells to go right along with them. They overcharge as a means of capitalizing off of the consumers desperate needs. Sometimes commercials are best whereas other areas exact a better response by utilizing the local newspaper or pennysaver. As with any good and viable business idea, some will do very well and have complete success while commanding a good part of the market, while others just subsist, struggling day by day. |
