6. Revenue Model

7. Porter’s Five Forces • Competitive Rivalry While there are currently no companies that serve as the middle-man between the landscapers and customers in the industry, competition still exists heavily in the form of substitutes.

8. Porter’s Five Forces Bargaining Power of Suppliers The suppliers have little power over the company. Although the suppliers are one of the biggest sources of revenue for the company, they are locked in once they join for at least a year. The company makes the supplier sign a non-compete on the referrals it provides. This nullifies the problem of suppliers signing up and then cutting Lazy Lawn Landscaping out of the relationship.

9. Porter’s Five Forces • Barging Power of Customers The customers have no bargaining power with the company. The company already offers an extremely competitive price on its services and backs them up with a guarantee. In the event the customer attempts to abuse the guarantee policy by continuously stating they were not satisfied with the service level, they will be blacklisted.

10. Porter’s Five Forces Threat of New Entrants There is a high risk of new entrants, but this should be nullified by the low cost strategy that Lazy Lawn Landscaping employs. The new entrants would have very slim margins if they tried to offer a lower price and thus it is not desirable to do so.

11. Porter’s Five Forces • Threat of Substitute The threat of substitute products is high. While there are no other companies that play the middle man with landscaping, there are plenty of companies that will mow your lawn. This is a problem, but we overcome this problem by turning our competition into our customers. We create value for them by helping them minimize downtime and marketing costs.
