The possibility of inviting a knowledgeable and skilled person to perform some small-scale work at home or in the household can attract a fairly large number of users. Given the large amount of employment, working people and the aversion to the need to constantly do housework, as well as inattention (when it is necessary to open the locks). However, such an idea can be effective subject to three critical factors:
1) the execution time should be minimized, ideally - really within an hour and a half, even for relatively complex work. Opening locks - no more than half an hour.
2) the cost of doing such work should be minimal, because the user is inclined to save and inconvenience for years, so as not to spend extra pennies;
3) based on the situation that the main client of such services in the house is a woman, it is necessary to ensure high cleanliness of work and maximum hygiene. That is, after the master’s hour-long visit, a woman should not then wash the floors, pens, toilet, things that he took on, and which plaster was sprinkled on, etc. For two hours, the locks must be opened so that the door does not have to be changed. It is worth noting that even compliance with one last requirement will lead to the demand for such a service.
But there is one more point that should be present in such a case. This is a quick response to the application. When a client needs help, do not make him wait and get nervous. This can adversely affect the reputation of the service.
Accordingly, the service should provide most of the usual small homework, in particular, repair of simple electrical appliances, placement and collection of furniture, plumbing, emergency opening of locks and so on. To do this, the master must have at hand a certain set of ready-made manuals or possess the skills for operation and repair, and in advance to find out from the customer what he will have to face in order to estimate the volume and do the work as quickly as possible while having a minimal set of tools with him. And opening locks can be done with tools. In addition, the master must constantly have and update a “working visiting package”. This package should include “quick hygiene” products (sanitary napkins, rags, etc.), as well as a kind of “remote workplace”. This will allow you to expand the work on the minimum area in the room, on the balcony of the apartment building, in the porch, corridor or in the hallway, so that after folding it there is practically no sign of the master's presence in the house.
Given the approximate prices of such tools, the cost of the road in a small city or even a millionaire and meals during work, the average trip will cost about $ 1.5 - $ 2. Expect an average of 5-12 trips per day, which implies approximately $ 7.5 to $ 24 per day in net costs. If you include emergency lock opening in the list of services, the number of calls will double or maybe more. Accordingly, counting on a working Saturday and Sunday, as the most popular days of the week in this segment of services, we get about $ 350 of net costs per day according to an average indicator. Accordingly, laying for ourselves, as a master, a salary of at least $ 500 per month, we get a call cost for one client from $ 3.5. This price is scanty even for the poor. Therefore, it is realistic to set the price of $ 5 - $ 7, with a corresponding increase in your own earnings.
Taxation in this case is not taken into account.
