Had my meeting earlier today. I'm officially holding the event overy 2 days. I gave a flat quote of 200/day without tvs, 400/day with. If tvs are accepted, it will be customer pays a fee. The host needs to hold a meeting with the full committee to decide which way they want to go as I only talked to the office manager by herself. But she seemed sold on the tv model. So, hopefully not too too many tvs show up and I get a decent amount of good stuff. But even if they do, the fees should cover my disposal cost. And even if nobody shows up, I'll still have a decent payday.
Also while there, I offered an ongoing business relationship if they ever have computers or copy machines etc that need recycling. Told them that business pickup will be free of charge. And I will also be making flyers for them to hand out to clients all year for stuff they don't want to move out or stuff left behind by previous owners when buying/selling a house.
So far I think I've set a nice solid foundation for what will hopefully be a large network of customers. And as long as all goes well with the event, it will be my flagship that I can use to show other business what I can do for them if they want to hold an event.
