4 Ways to Increase Revenue for your Moving Company

Operating a moving business is a rewarding experience. Owner’s get to help individuals, families, or businesses through a transition which is always an exciting and daunting time. The moving industry is highly competitive making generating additional revenue for your moving company extremely important. Here a few ways you can get more out of your existing operation:

  1. UnpaktUnpakt is a technology-based platform that allows consumers to walk through a multiple step process explaining their situation in great detail. Unpakt is great because it allows some of the 40 million people moving each year to find your company without having to drive them directly to your website. You can also control your rates and availability so you won’t have to discount your service any more than you’d like to. Generating additional revenue for your moving company is as easy as listing your service on Unpakt. If you want to list your moving company, Go Here!
  2. Moving Company CRM – The vast majority of moving companies are not even optimizing their own leads. Through an effective moving company CRM you can generate additional revenue by diligently following up on leads. Viewing leads in an organized fashion that allows sales reps to easily identify information already gathered is a key feature. Following up with relevant conservation will drastically increase conversion rates boosting revenue. Setting up lead gen capture forms on your site that automatically put leads into queue makes reaching a breeze. A CRM takes time to set up and understand its full capability, but surely, you’re leaving money on the table not using one. Schedule a demo with a Movegistics Rep here!
  3. Storage – If your company operates out of a warehouse chances are you can advertise your storage services to generate additional revenue. Many times, companies are not utilizing their space to its full capacity or have not increased rates in a long time. Self-storage facilities typically increase rates every year. As long as you let your customers know a rate increase is coming it’s perfectly acceptable to increase storage rates. Speak with a storage consultant to understand the most efficient warehouse layout to increase usable storage space and call competitors to learn more about pricing in your geographic area.
  4. Thumbtack Thumbtack is another technology platform that allows movers to list their company and communicate and bid directly on different moving jobs. Your company will be charged when you send a quote to a potential customer. The platform user-friendly but you’ll have to spend time optimizing your profile to attract the customers you’ll want.

 

Every owner wants to generate additional revenue for their moving company, but before you spend money on paid web traffic or other advertisements try some cheaper (or free!) options first. Most importantly do not look past the leads your moving company is already attracting. Implementing a moving company CRM, like Movegistics will allow you to make the most of the leads already coming into your company.
