The best secret weapon to increase your profit margin!

The best secret weapon to increase your profit margin.

Some businesses are inherently more profitable than others. This can be due to expenses and overhead being low or the business charging a lot for its services or products. Still, all businesses, no matter how profitable they are, can be a challenge getting started.

If you yearn to run a profitable business (don’t we all), take a look at the following most profitable small businesses with a cargo trailer.

Catering Services

You don’t need expensive premises to run your own catering business and could even operate your service from home, keeping overhead to a minimum. People and businesses are willing to pay for quality caterers, making this business profitable for those who work hard and have determination to succeed.

Courier Services

Other than the outlay of your vehicle to deliver the goods, self-employed couriers don’t have large overheads. Getting lucrative contracts from the major courier firms can prove profitable. However, in a competitive market, being awarded lucrative contracts can be challenging.

Mobile Hairdresser Services

Granted, you can never charge a fortune to cut someone’s hair but that doesn’t take away from the fact that quality hairdressers will always be in demand.

Furthermore, other than a quality pair of scissors and some hair dye, if you run a mobile hairdressing salon, your business expenses are surprisingly low, making mobile hairdressing a profitable business to run.

That said, mobile hairdressers are not difficult to find, so you’ll probably need to spend some money marketing your services.

Cleaning Services

All you need to start your own cleaning business is a vacuum, polish floor cleaner and, preferably, a car. With comparatively low overhead, little in the way of training required and a service that is always in demand, cleaning can be a rewarding business to get into.

So why isn’t everyone doing this? Well, if you’re looking for a more creative way to make a living, cleaning might not be for you.

These are some business with high-profit margins.

V-nosed Trailer Vs Regular Flat Enclosed Trailers

Do V-nosed Trailers Tow Better? It seems there’s a bit of a myth being spread about by trailer salesman. The claim is that v-nose trailers are more aerodynamic and do not have a tendency to sway as much as flat-fronted trailers. Travel trailers like the one pictured below seem to be the new industry trend, as manufacturers use every trick at their disposal to create more space with less length. Aerodynamic shape? When I was a first-year engineering student at Lawrence Tech University in Michigan, our instructor put several shapes up on the board and asked which was the most aerodynamic. Almost every student pointed to the V shape. We were wrong. Our instructor then put up a side view of a Navy jet aircraft. Naturally, any aircraft manufacturer will choose the most aerodynamic shape possible. Our jet aircraft all have a teardrop shape, with the wide end pointing forward. That’s because it is the turbulent air that runs alongside the body of an aircraft, or trailer, ...

What is the best cargo trailer on the market?

What is the best cargo trailer on the market? That’s hard to answer because there are so many different brands and types of trailers on the market. Diamond, Haulmark, Lark, and Pace are good trailers but it's just people’s opinions. The reality is that most trailers are made with the same materials; their parts and materials are interchangeable. Most dirt cheap trailers are made with a hybrid of Chinese steel and low-grade aluminum. The trailer market has gotten so competitive that almost of dealers will sell a stock trailer with a profit margin of $150; knowing that trailer will fail within 5 years but after the 3-year warranty. That leaves the customer with two options; buy new one or repair the old one. This gives the dealer a 50% chance that the customer will return to buy a new one or painfully pay for the trailer to be service for half of the price of a new one. Win-Win for the dealer! Sucks for the customer. Another example is that the d...
