Home Service Industry Indicates America’s Economy is Back
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) September 27, 2013 -- Brian Scudamore’s company, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? is seeing larger revenue numbers than it saw in 2007, pre-recession. July 2013 was the largest revenue-generating month in the 25 year history of this home service. As 2013 winds down 1-800-GOT-JUNK? is looking forward to its best year ever, expecting revenues of $127M. Using junk hauling demand as an economic indicator, Scudamore confidently launched his third home service brand in April. The new local moving company, You Move Me, has pulled in a whopping $3.2M in revenue after only 6 months in operation.
“We were hit hard during the downturn,” explains Scudamore. “Professional home services are often the first item people cut from their budgets as they rationalize that they can do it themselves if they have to.” When numbers started increasing in late 2010 Scudamore took it as a sign that America was poised to recover. WOW 1 Day Painting, a unique service which will paint your house in one day was Brian’s second home service venture. The company currently has 22 franchises throughout the U.S. and Canada and is trending to pull in $4.8M in 2013. “People are using home services again; they’re relying on the professionals to renovate and improve their homes, giving them more time for family and friends. It’s a great sign.”
When Scudamore launched You Move Me earlier this year he took the smart, yet unconventional approach of using an existing company franchisees to seed the growth of the new company. He approached the top performers from 1-800-GOT-JUNK? to roll out more than 20 locations of the moving company overnight. After proving out its success with several months in operation, franchises of You Move Me will be available for purchase to outside entrepreneurs next month.
