Websites for skip hire companies
Price, size and what cannot go in. Three answers, and most sites give one.
Skip hire is bought quickly and compared on price, but the two things that cause every complaint are what the customer could not put in it and where it was allowed to stand.
A site that answers both up front converts better and generates far fewer angry phone calls, because the customer who was going to be a problem has been filtered out before they booked.
What your customers want answered
- What size do I need for what I am clearing
- What does it cost, including the permit if I need one
- How long can I keep it
- What can I not put in it
- Can it go on the road, and who arranges that
Explain the permit before they askA skip placed on a public road needs a permit from the council, usually arranged by the hire company, with lights and markings required. Customers who only have road frontage need to know that before they book, and the firm that told them looks organised rather than expensive.
Vague sizing
Cubic yards mean nothing to a householder. Describing each size in terms of what it actually holds — a bathroom strip-out, a small garden clearance, a house full of soil — prevents the wrong skip turning up.
