The owner may also let you leave a clip board for people to sign up for your service.  Make sure the owner has your phone number so he can call you on a moments notice. Set this service up with 2 or 3 different tree lots and you may have more business than you can handle.

Charge $10-$20 depending on what you are doing. Lower end of the scale is for delivery only the upper end for delivery and set up. This is a great way to earn money for Christmas.

Another very easy way to market for free is to add a message at the end of your home answering machine message. Such as “if you’re calling about my gift wrapping service let me know and I’ll get right back to you”.
