The way most people find a mover is quickly changing but for the most part the reason people buy are not. 5 years ago if you were looking for a mover you first would go to the yellowpages, maybe go to the computer or get a referral from a friend or contact the BBB in the area.
If your in the yellowpages you would first open the book call 3-4 movers and then set up your appointment or decide based on price. The problem with this is looking in the yellowpages you start in the front assuming everyone has like kind service and the only difference is the price.
Now days many customers never even get to the yellow pages and simply use the computer and again the first question is how much does it cost to move? Funny part about that is often the customer hasn’t even said what’s moving. Never assuming that anything but cost separates one company from another. Often it’s amazing the DEALS I see cruising google looking for movers, deals to good to be true.
The best way to get your moving company is by referal ,at Inside Moves we realize the only way you get that is by earning it . Doing the right thing and not treating your customers as simply one more head to harvest. This is the way most smart and wealthy people move.
In the day where on the Internet a customer can find a 2 movers for $58, $59, and $65 and up the smart consumer asks what the difference between a company charging $58 an hour and one the charges $90. How can there be such a difference. The bottom line is if it sounds to good to be true it is. If it sounds like a duck and walks like a duck what is it?
To operate a moving company there’s more going on then simply hiring 2 guys and sending out a truck. Just some of the costs are employees, equipment, fuel, insurance, material and that internet advertising (all advertising). If a company says $58 an hour, they charging a rate that is less then it costs to preform the job. Great deal for the consumer until something goes wrong or do you think they find the money somewhere else. These are the moving scammers that give the industry a bad name.
Like packing or material?
Or are they paying worker comp?
How much are they paying your movers?
In 1990 the hourly rate a Bekins Vanlines was $71.50 hourly how can the cost of moving be $58 almost 20 years later.
At a hourly rate of $90 for 2 men and truck the profit margin is small if everything is beening paid.
