Sponsor's note: Knowledge is power

Today, there are more opportunities than ever to use data to gain the knowledge you need to grow a more sustainably profitable business in the landscape industry. Benchmark data is a valuable tool for understanding how your business compares to others across the country. It shows where you excel, so you can use that information to your advantage. It can also highlight opportunities for improvement that you may be able to profit from as well.

The 2017 Benchmarking Your Business report offers the most current contractor data, so you can quickly understand how your business stacks up in areas such as profitability, budget management and contractor spending, among others. When combined with the real-time customer feedback you can gather via social media and online professional review sites, the 2017 Benchmarking Your Business report can give you a big-picture view of your business and opportunities for growth.

At Exmark, our focus is on building state-of-the-art, yet easy-to-use commercial mowers and turf management equipment. Our goal is to give you, our customer, better, more productive, and cost-effective equipment that helps your business grow and be profitable. We share your passion for your work, and your steady stream of feedback helps us refine our designs and develop new technologies to better meet your needs.
