Jesse Rehm of Triangle Pest Control discusses considerations for expanding a pest control business into new markets. Good reasons to expand include reaching market saturation, limited growth in the current market, or acquisition opportunities. When evaluating new markets, companies should analyze demographics like population size, growth rate, income levels and education to find similar areas. Systems and procedures must be in place to support remote branches. A company needs the budget to market in the new location and acquire customers, whether through web, direct to door, or acquisition. Most importantly, the right people must be hired to manage the new location before expanding.
