Snow and ice management businesses that only offer a plowing service may be missing out on the potential for increased profits. There is a growing trend towards providing full-service snow and ice removal, and many firms have found success upselling to existing customers or securing new business by becoming a one-stop shop for both plowing and salt spreading.

For snow removal professionals, it is critical to start the season as prepared as possible. Waiting until the first winter storm to see if your equipment is in working order could prove to be a costly mistake.
