Key Advantages
We are a true advertising model incorporating TV, Direct Mail, Mass Mailings, SEO, PPC, etc as a consistent part of our business model. Junk King is not a "work on the truck" franchise like 1-800GotJunk.
Where our competitors focus on consumer business only we are diversified in our revenue streams:
- Business to Consumer; heavy branding/ direct response model via an integrated advertising program;
- Business to Business; realtors, property managers, construction trades, builders, etc;
- Business to Government; Federal, State, Local, School Districts, Colleges & Universities.
- Recycling.
Why Recycling and Green Driven Business Model?
Competitive Advantage – with all variables being the same – people will pick the greenest company
Double Revenue Stream – paid to haul away and paid by recycler
Recycling results in less trips to dumps (money/time) and creates more efficient trucks (higher capacity / increased gross margin per truck)
Larger trucks (18 cubic yards) less fuel burned and emissions produced.
