Seasonal Yard Service OS

A lightweight SaaS for seasonal “yard surprise” micro-businesses (Egg My Yard, yard signs, holiday lights quoting, boo baskets delivery) to handle booking, package/add-on configuration, route planning, payment links, and post-event rebooking. It also captures channel attribution (Facebook group vs Nextdoor) and add-on attach rates so solo operators can repeat what worked last season.

Seasonal Yard Service OS

A lightweight SaaS for seasonal “yard surprise” micro-businesses (Egg My Yard, yard signs, holiday lights quoting, boo baskets delivery) to handle booking, package/add-on configuration, route planning, payment links, and post-event rebooking. It also captures channel attribution (Facebook group vs Nextdoor) and add-on attach rates so solo operators can repeat what worked last season.

Target customer

Owner-operators running seasonal local micro-services (solo or small team) who sell pre-defined packages + add-ons and deliver on a tight holiday window (Easter, birthdays, graduation, Halloween, Christmas).

Problem-solution fit

These operators need a fast way to accept orders, prevent overbooking, manage inventory (eggs/props), and maximize add-on revenue without building a custom system. The product fits because the post demonstrates real demand (14 customers, 43% repeats, meaningful add-on uptake) and a workflow that is currently handled through a patchwork of social posts + DMs + Venmo.
