Lawn Service Invoices…
Two Invoice Examples
Does getting paid on time have anything to do with the way your invoice looks? Does appearance matter to your customer?
You be the judge.
I’ve included two examples of customer invoices, and after you review both of them think of these questions:
- Which one looks better?
- Which one conveys a professional image & that you know what you are doing?
- Which one do you think the customer is going to pay first?
Here is an example of an actual invoice I received from my landscaper:
On a side note, he is not a client. His business hasn’t reached a point where outsourcing his billing is a viable option yet…
Now, maybe your current invoicing “system” isn’t this, well… bad. Maybe you’ve got your act together, and actually send out invoices that convey how professional your business is.
In any event, here is another example of an invoice. Take note of the differences.
Honestly, ask yourself just one question. Of the two, which one would you willingly pay?
That’s all we’re saying.
By the way, the second invoice is an example of the kind of work we do for you. We even have an option where payments can be sent to us for processing. We enter in credit card payment info for you, and checks can be deposited in the bank for you, or sent to you along with a financial account report.
So, if you don’t mind, ask yourself one more question…
Is it time to think about having us handle your lawn service billing for you yet? We know it’s getting late in the year. So here’s a suggestion for you if you don’t mind…
give us a call around September or October if that fits your hectic schedule better. That way you can try us out and have time to evaluate just how valuable our service can be for you… and your business.
And come the spring time you’ll have one less thing on your “to do” list.
Here’s how to get started…
So what key questions should you ask a billing company before signing up with them? Here’s a short list for your review:
- What is involved in the fee (i.e. postage, envelopes, etc)?
- Is there a monthly fee, even during winter months/downtime?
- What reporting is provided?
- Will follow up invoices (i.e. Second Notices) be included in the program fee

thanks for the comments. i’ll agree with merchant account provider. this question is a bit out of my league. i’m all for automation, but i’m not a software expert. more like systems…
