Porter’s Five Forces
• Competitive Rivalry
While there are currently no companies that serve as
the middle-man between the landscapers and
customers in the industry, competition still exists
heavily in the form of substitutes.
Porter’s Five Forces
Bargaining Power of Suppliers
The suppliers have little power over the company. Although the
suppliers are one of the biggest sources of revenue for the
company, they are locked in once they join for at least a year. The
company makes the supplier sign a non-compete on the referrals it
provides. This nullifies the problem of suppliers signing up and
then cutting Lazy Lawn Landscaping out of the relationship.
Porter’s Five Forces
• Barging Power of Customers
The customers have no bargaining power with
the company. The company already offers an
extremely competitive price on its services and
backs them up with a guarantee. In the event
the customer attempts to abuse the guarantee
policy by continuously stating they were not
satisfied with the service level, they will be
blacklisted.
Porter’s Five Forces
Threat of New Entrants
There is a high risk of new entrants, but this should be nullified by the
low cost strategy that Lazy Lawn Landscaping employs. The new
entrants would have very slim margins if they tried to offer a lower
price and thus it is not desirable to do so.
Porter’s Five Forces
• Threat of Substitute
The threat of substitute products is high. While
there are no other companies that play the
middle man with landscaping, there are plenty
of companies that will mow your lawn. This is a
problem, but we overcome this problem by
turning our competition into our customers.
We create value for them by helping them
minimize downtime and marketing costs.
