I Thought Giving Away Stuff Free Was A Good Idea But I May Have To Stop!

When I first started my junk removal business we was just like all the other companies.

Then I read a book called 'positioning' the future of your company depends on it by Al Ries and Jack Trout.

They explained how number one brands get to be number one.

You have to stand for something different in the category.

You need to have a position in the mind of your customers.

After going through a separation in my marriage I read "the star principle" by Richard Koch.

A Star business is in an industry that is growing by at least 10% or more a year and it's number one in it's industry.

Wow.

Basically the same concept as the positioning book.

It took me seven years to figure out how to make our junk removal company different.

My friend Doug introduced me to a system that helps people save 50-90% off junk removal when they're moving.

I opened a thrift store to keep stuff out of landfills but Covid hit.

I thought why not give the stuff away to people that need it.

We started giving stuff away. No other company is giving stuff away in the community.

We've furnished over seven families houses and given away plenty other stuff but...

Two years later I realize with the overhead of the shop we have to stay busy enough to make it make sense.

So I ask if you know realtors or anyone selling their house tell them about us so we don't have to stop giving stuff away!

Thanks in advance and I hope you'll have a great 2023!

I Thought Giving Away Stuff Free Was A Good Idea Until I Almost Had To Shut The Shop Down

I decided to give it one last shot.

When I first started my junk removal business we was just like all the other companies.

This was even after reading a book called 'positioning' the future of your company depends on it by Al Ries and Jack Trout.

In the book they explained how number one brands get to be number one.

They said you have to stand for something different in the category.

You need to have a position in the mind of your customers.

But sometimes even when we know things we don't act on what we know.

A few years later after going through a separation in my marriage and drifting in my business for 10 years I read another book.

This book was called 'the Star principle' by Richard Koch.

Richard said, a Star business can make you rich.

He said a Star business is in an industry that is growing by at least 10% or more a year and it's number one in it's industry.

Wow.

Basically the same concept as positioning I read over 10 years earlier.

After reading this book it took me seven years to figure out how to create a star business in junk removal.

Mostly because I was focused on the wrong thing, hustling.

When we need the money we always focus on working hard hustling.

I needed to change my focus on positioning and creating a new category in my industry so that I could be number one.

So that's exactly what I've done.

We now target people that are selling their houses and we help them save 50-90% off junk removal when they're moving.

My friend Doug introduced me to a process that works.

Now we're the number one junk removal company helping people save 50-90% off junk removal when they're moving.

During those seven years we also opened a thrift store but when the village stopped us from putting stuff in front of the shop our sales took a dump.

Then I thought why not give the stuff away to people that need it especially in this economy.

So that's exactly what we're doing saving people money and giving stuff away.

I hope we can continue to grow and continue to give stuff away in our community because there's a lot of people in need.

If you know anybody moving or selling their house let them know about us so we can help them save and keep giving stuff away free.

Marketing company: Why should your company even exist with all the junk removal companies out today?

Me: After we help people get rid of their junk & clutter we give almost everything away in our free store to the community...

That's one difference...

Giving things away free helps the community as well as our business...
To you the truth the more stuff we give away free the more business we get...
But our customers are the real heroes because without them we couldn't do what we do...
To our customers thank you for all you do and trusting us to get rid of your junk and clutter...
One person's junk is another person treasure...
and I'd rather it go to a good home than to the landfills...

Can a free store really help build community?
Know anyone who just moved in L.I. and can't afford furniture? We'll furnish their house FREE with the stuff in our free store... No strings attached!
When I first came up with the idea to give almost everything away free in my thrift shop some thought I'd lost my mind again...
"Why would you do that?" some said.
Customers walked in and we would say welcome to our free store. They would look at us and smile and say, "what do you mean?"
We'd say you can take anything you want free unless it's not. Almost everything's free.
One lady I had to convince her for 15 mins that we were giving stuff away. She just could wrap her head around it.
"Nothings free!" she said for 15 minutes.
When I really think about it it's really a good idea to grow a company while helping the community.
It's the best of both worlds. We don't have millions to donate to charity's.
But we can give one item at a time away to the community to help.
Like that old saying goes "one man's/woman's junk is another's treasure!"
That's how we're living. How can we do this you may be wonder.
We have a low cost junk removal service called
'Subtract It'
We charge just like all the other junk removal services and dumpster companies.
Our difference is we give most of the stuff we pickup (if it's in good condition) away free in the community.
I posted about anyone needing to furnish a house that couldn't afford it and friend responded.
He told me about his daughter that just moved into a house with her boyfriend, and three kids.
They only had a couch and a mattress.
It made me feel really good to help them in need.
My father did this when Ibwas a kid and I guess the apple don't fall far from the tree.
But I'm not the real hero in this story. It's our customers! We can't give what we don't have.
When stuff goes into a dumpster that's taking away from those that can use it.
So help us impact our communities by allowing us the opportunity to take your junk (with a charge of course).
Please share this story with whoever needs stuff removed and those that need stuff.
We'll be there to guide our heroes and help build our community in the process.
